What is a Confident Marriage?
“ It starts with the foundation of complete, utter, and untainted honesty. When you accomplish that, everything else falls into place. It is harder than you would think. Can you be honest with your spouse about your level of happiness in your sex life? Are you able to tell them you are finding yourself attracted to someone at work? Are you able to safely tell your partner the hard things to say and the things that are hard for them to hear?
If honesty is your foundation then anything is possible. See, when you have raw honesty you remove all the roadblocks that hold your marriage back. You develop a level of healthy communication that is impossible otherwise. With that, you can talk about anything you and your marriage are facing whether it is intimacy, finances, children, or the journey through life together. That is the starting point of working through problems. Not talking about them is the underlying cause of a majority, if not all, of the problems couples face.
When you can show and share your ugly, be completely vulnerable and raw with your partner…that is power. That is a Confident Marriage. ”

About the hosts…the ones they all said would never make it!
About Jessica
My childhood was not a path that would have set me up for success as an adult. My mother was 15 when she had me.
I am celebrating 6 years with my second husband though the beginning of our marriage was filled with strife including the discovery of his drug addiction, pornography, infidelity, and a massive amount of lies and betrayal, and I was not perfect myself, not by any means.
For years we tried, employing many therapists, different marriage programs, and dozens of self-help books. What pulled us through was an assortment of hearing other’s stories of success and how they accomplished it, books, podcasts, marriage programs and a few special therapists.
I have overcome many things in my life, such as battles with major anxiety, depression, a daughter born premature with severe disabilities, and two troubled marriages.
It is because of my journey, not in spite of it, and the hard work I have done on myself as a person, wife, and mother that has given me tried and true knowledge, experience, strength and hope. My heart and passion are in helping others achieve this same success and transformation I did, in a way that works for them (and you!).
About Sean
My childhood was also not one that left me on a path to success. A child of a broken home, I lived in active addiction for over 20 years as my life remained stagnant and fell apart around me.
Unsuccessful, self-sabotaging, manipulative, selfish, and deceit were the hallmarks of my life for years. I was depressed and unable to escape the constant pull of addictive substances that included alcohol, marijuana, opiates, and pornography.
After several failed relationships, failures in college, and dead-end jobs, I started to clean up my life but lacked the skills, guidance, and support to complete the job. Jessica and I married 6 years ago and I brought a multitude of toxic behaviors with me. These poisoned our marriage until I, with the support and help of my wife, sought the help we needed.
As Jessica said, therapy failed to leave us with a cohesive plan over and over. It was through a combination of marriage programs, self-help books, 12-step programs, and a few incredible therapists that I was able to overcome substance abuse, pornography, and the toxic personal demons that tormented our marriage for so long (though I am still a work in progress!).
I am now a college graduate, a successful leader in the commercial construction industry, loving father and husband! Like Jessica, what I can offer comes from a wealth of personal experience as well as innumerable professional sources with a proven track record of success.
I shouldn’t have made it…We shouldn’t have made it…but through hard work, research, determination, and inner strength, we have defied the odds. All that we do comes from a genuine desire to pass on what we have learned and genuinely help others. We feel so blessed to be where we are and this is our way to pay forward what was given to us!
