How can I improve my emotional connection with my spouse?
You used all the right, good, counselor-y words. Tell me what you're really struggling with, like day to day. What's up? Hey, everybody. This is John, the Dr. John Deloney Show. Hope you're doing well, and I hope the world you find yourself in is one where you're safe, when you're having fun, and you're finding some joy, some laughter somewhere in this wild, wild world. Hey, Kelly, when is Election Day? Are we past it? We're recording this show early.
Yes, this show publishes on the 22nd of November, so we'll be a few weeks past it at this point.
So I'm making a prediction. We still won't know who the president is because everyone's going to sue everybody and be mad. And you think?
Yeah, because I think it's going to be, that's valid because I think it's going to be a close election. So I think that I can see that happening.
I'm feeling a landslide in my guts. I love that we can put this like down because we'll know, right?
Yeah, by this time we'll know.
Like when I was talking trash about my Astros, by the time it published, your Rangers had won.
Yeah, it was a good memory.
It was.
It was great. Love that one.
This weekend I was in Houston and one guy at the concert I was at, he was one of the sound guys, he had a shirt. And it was the Astros on it, but it just said Houston Cheaters. And it was... It was good. I tipped my hat to that guy. To wear it with 15,000 rabid metal fans and just to decide I don't care. It was awesome. I support that. But yeah, so this is out. I hope wherever you happen to be, you're doing okay. This show, we talk about your mental and emotional health, your relationships. If you want to be on the show, it's real people going through real challenges. Give me a buzz at 1-844-693-3291 or go to johndeloney.com slash ask. And I guess we will see who's right or who's wrong. I'm sure the internets will let me know you were wrong or we're still waiting. Hopefully, hopefully, hopefully. Jeez Louise. All right, let's go out to Des Moines. Let's go out to Des Moines, Iowa and talk to Paul. What up, Paul? Hey, John. How are we doing today? There we go. I'm doing great. How about you, man?
Doing well. Doing well. Perfect. I want to start this off saying thanks for all the help you've done for me and my relationships so far and uh, definitely give me a different outlook on life. So I appreciate the insight.
I'm grateful, man. Hope that outlook is a good one. Not a, not a sideways one.
Well, you sparked plenty of conversation. Let's put it that way.
That's there we go.
What's up? Well, I, uh, I'm hoping you can help me a little bit more today. Uh, I am a newly recently married man and, uh, that as you know, comes along with plenty of changes in life.
No, no, no.
I, you know, I'm learning again that I don't quite have it all figured out, but that's, uh, I am at this point looking for ways that I can grow in my personal, emotional intelligence and, uh, strengthen how I can connect with my wife emotionally. Uh, that is definitely an area I have struggled with, uh, in adulthood. It's, an area I'm not too familiar with. But I'm hoping you can give me some tips or something to strengthen that area of my life.
Yeah, man. So you used all the right, good, counselor-y words. Or like the internet-y words. Tell me what you're really struggling with, like day to day.
Yeah, well, I guess that's the interesting thing is I really don't feel as though I am struggling. You know, I feel like Everything's pretty good for me. And I think I am there in many of the ways I need to be. And it's just a common theme that I hear from my wife, which is, you know, you do all these things. You're so great in so many areas. But the one thing that I'm not quite getting from you that I wish I could was this emotional connection. And I guess I come from a family that's not very... Outward with our emotions, to say the least. And she comes from one that is very emotionally expressive. And so that is like two different worlds colliding right there. And I'm not really even sure how to navigate that.
