Thou Shalt Not Kill: A Podcast About Marriage

Thou Shalt Not Kill: A Podcast About Marriage

Never choosing divorce and staying married for 36 years is one thing, but we come from households with a combined total of 13 marriages between our parents. It’s safe to say we've seen it all and that's inspired us to help others avoid the many pitfalls we've seen and even experienced. Thou Shalt Not Kill speaks right to the heart of the challenges couples face. You’ve probably had battles and moments that if unaddressed could make or break your solemn partnership. Whether you’ve hit the wall or you think things can’t get any better, we've got you. We're honest, real, raw, and will undoubtedly entertain you. We'll teach you the tools you need to overcome challenges with both conventional and unconventional means; helping you get back to the “why” of your union. In our own words, “We never claim to be doctors or board-certified marriage counselors, but we did go to one in the first few years when we had “issues” and their advice was divorce. That didn’t work for us. That’s why we want to bring hope and light through the dark and rough times of life with your partner.” Let’s get your love affair with your spouse to a place where you’ve always known it would be. Starting with the first rule: Thou Shalt Not Kill. Hosted by your marriage veterans of 36 years, Scott & Anne Travis. We'd love to connect with you!

We look and explore the fact that we love those that we feel
connected to and Help in life MORE than those that help us.
it's a fascinating concept, but think about it, I want to help
everyone that I love and want a deeper connection to. Whereas when we get help from others we may not feel the same way.

In this episode we re-address Trauma ... I know , I Absolutely hate that word .
I think its a catch all phrase for some to just not deal with the issue at hand , but
This last year we have really examined and dove deep into some longstanding
issues that Scott has been deal;ing with and Lo and behold there just might be something
with childhood Trauma...
Listen in and see if you agree, I guess an old dog can change their mind . LOL

It's not real hard to hold onto anger but there is a ,\line that once you cross it, you now have opened up a whole new issue.

We go into one of the hardest talks about ehn is enough. Anne and I NEVER want to open the door to divorce, but when dealing with a Narcissist it's VERY hard to live in a complete marriage..
We point out some of the difficulties.. WE ARE NOT psychologists, psychiatrists, or any other Dr. We just have been around and seen relationships when one is a Narcissist and it usually isn't pretty.
