I Want Friends, He Wants Peace #HMAY Ep. 275

In this episode, we talk honestly about something we’re still learning how to navigate in our own marriage: celebration, hosting, and friendship.We unpack a real disagreement between us — one where gathering people, creating moments, and hosting feels meaningful and necessary to one of us, while the other experiences those same moments as pressure, disruption, and emotional overload. Neither of us is wrong, but the tension between those needs has shown up more than once over the years.We share what that conflict actually looked like, how it connected to deeper questions about friendship, emotional capacity, and being known, and what it took for us to repair without one of us shrinking or the other feeling dismissed.This conversation is about learning each other again, choosing honesty over peacekeeping, and figuring out how to stay connected without losing yourself in the process.Resources & LinksRelease Rest Remainhttps://a.co/d/ihBmSdOYvette’s Email Listhttps://yvettehenry.com/join-the-listRelease Rest Remain Bible Reading Planhttps://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/64646Father Yourself Firsthttps://www.amazon.com/Father-Yourself-First-Everything-Deserves/dp/1400252555AudiobookListen to Glen read Father Yourself First wherever audiobooks are available.Premarital AdvantageQuestions and worksheets for dating, engaged, and newlywedshttps://howmarriedareyoupodcast.mykajabi.com/offers/VAbsx8N2Saturday Men’s Group (Black men, 7 a.m. PT)Join the Father Meet-Up on Zoomhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/81971875325?pwd=cY3k96A8j1b0WMLPHF5ym0bNSNaRdj.1Patreon CommunityBonus conversations and behind-the-scenes contenthttps://www.patreon.com/HMAYJoin the ConversationDo you and your partner experience celebration or hosting differently?Have you ever realized you were arguing about something deeper than what was on the surface?If This Helped YouLike the video, subscribe, and share it with someone navigating recurring tension, friendship shifts, or emotional capacity in marriage.
