Army Wives Talk Radio Show #140

This week on Army Wives Talk Radio Tara was joined by Drs. David and Jan Stoop. The Stoops’ are the authors of Better Than Ever: Seven Secrets of Great Marriages. We’re talking about how to make a good marriage GREAT!

Ok ok so I’m not an Army wife, nor am I married for that matter, but with Seth being in the Army I want to learn everything I can about the Army lifestyle and military life. So  Tara’s show is the perfect place for me to start ;-)

Dr’s David & Jan have been married for 50 years so if anyone is worth taking advice from, I’d say they have something that is worth listening to! 50 years…WOW that is amazing and awesome. You don’t hear that very often now-a-days.

If you’ve got a good marriage but you want it to be great where do you begin? That’s the first question Tara kicked the interview off with. Dr. David said that it starts with the husband. It’s the husband that sets the pace of the marriage.

In the military lifestyle Tara wants to know how to overcome the military lifestyle where your husbands are gone all the time. Dr. David said that he’s done a lot of work with the soldiers that are coming home and being integrated back into their lives. He said that a lot of the guys are already doing this and they don’t even realize it. The man is already setting the pace even via internet mail, etc.

Tara wants to know how to get the guys to do this, what steps do they need to take? Dr. David said that he encourages the wives to get ahold of the book, tear that chapter out & send it to the men. LOL.

I could write a book just based off this one interview and what I learned during the conversation amongst Tara and Dr. David! I won’t bore you any longer ;-)

Am I getting close to winning any of that Valentine’s Day blogging for chocolate chocolate?
