I have listened to all of these podcast going back to the first episode. My opinion, the quality goes down when Corey brought in his wife. When it was two educated professional host, there was a lot of value and meat in each episode. Understand, wanting to release the other hosts to keep all the income in one household however, it really lost its mojo. Definitely worth your time to listen to the first few years until that change.
They are laced with ads, promotions for their own products, and only limited content, wanting you to pay a subscription, which is extremely expensive. Unfortunately, like many things associated with Christianity it starts out with a good heart, and then leads itself to greed.
My wife and I have appreciated the great research and experience Corey brings to the podcast, as well as the lay person perspective Pam brings. Often, Pam is asking the questions we have!
We often find ourselves pausing the podcast to have a discussion about whatever topic is being discussed. We are communicating better through those discussions.
WOW! I can’t thank Dr Allen by enough for this life altering resource! I found this podcast at a very dark and uncertain time in our marriage due to my reckless, immature, stupid choices. Through some much needed couples therapy and serious, deep personal examination, along with the help of THIS podcast and our one time trip to the getaway, my wife and I are as strong, NO! Strong then we have ever been! Don’t get me wrong, we still have disagreement and spats but I think we both discuss thing differently than before! If you ever wanted a resource that made you look at yourself first before you blame your spouse for all of your problems or issues in your our marriage, then look no further! Thank you Corey! Oh yeah well love you too Pam!!
This show literally changed me. I began listening years ago and have likely listened to every episode. Cory reveals the truth about what’s going on inside my head not sure how he does this. Sometimes it’s like magic or something but at the end of the day I found this to be extremely worthwhile, both in my marriage and in my life.
Dr Corey Allan and his wife Pam take a deep dive into all of the issues related to marriage and intimacy- one complexity at a time. It’s fun and lighthearted while also sincere and genuine. Guests speakers are true experts in their field of study. This podcast is in my weekly rotation.
This podcast is so insightful and talks about issues in marriage that we all experience. Corey and Pam present topics is a relatable way and provide tips on ways to easily implement changes. If you have struggled with something, they have covered it and help you better understand yourself and how to work through issues in relation to others.
Do yourself a favor and listen. You will be hooked!! Great stuff. 🙌🏼♥️
Absolutely worth the investment of time to listen. It’s impacted my life and my marriage. started listening 18 months ago and have now listened to all 528 episodes…and counting (***up to 595 as of this updated review). It is a highlight of my week and a great investment in myself and my marriage. UPDATE (10/31/22): Get the EXTENDED version. It’s well worth the extra dollars! I’m gone back and now listened to nearly all of the extended content episodes as well. UPDATE (1/17/24): SMR keeps messing with me. I guess I’m not as grown up as what I thought I was.
I heard about you on a Family Life podcast and started following you. I love how frank and real you are. My husband and I work in marriage ministry and I have gotten so many pieces of wisdom from your podcast.
My husband stumbled across this podcast several years ago. It is the first podcast I’ve ever really listened to. I enjoy the honest and frank discussion. I personally prefer his wife Pam as the cohost over the earlier cohosts.
I swear sometimes these episodes pop up and the exact time I need them! The content is relatable, the host is very knowledgeable and is easy to understand.. and his lovely wife is who I relate to more. The episodes are entertaining and insightful! Always leave me thinking!
My wife and I have been listening since 2016. There have been changes through out the years and we love how adaptive you have been. I have learned a lot about communicating more efficiently. We look forward to new episodes weekly. Thank you for what you do.
This podcast was highly recommended by a friend as we were chatting about our marriage, as girlfriends often do. I started listening with my husband regularly, and it has helped us to be more intentional and focused on the health of our relationship. We are now addressing issues and working to not just maintain, but improve our day to day interactions with each other in a way that helps us continue to grow closer together. I love that this podcast has a good balance of psychology and counseling, with the reality of relationships. I recommend listening for anyone that wants to grow with your spouse and have a better understanding of one another.
This podcast is in the lineup of ones I listen to regularly as I seek to understand myself and my role in my marriage. The Allans really collaborate and give a fair and and balanced view of tricky topics. Thank you!
I am fairly new to the podcast of a few months so with that being said I have listened to the show a few times and each time I listen I gain a little insight on something that can improve my marriage.And I do enjoy those few times I tune in.
I have been listening to the podcast for approximately two years now. I have binge listened the sum 600 episodes or so and have grown significantly. I like the focus on individual development and that this development is done within the marriage relationship. I have used this podcast to grow and become a better husband/lover/father. I hope you can do the same.
When I found SMR I didn’t realize the journey that I was about to embark. Not only did this show help grow my marriage but also grow me up as a person. If you are searching for a better marriage, to came to the right place.
If I could leave 10 stars, I would. No spouse, no couple is perfect - but SMR frames the conversations in a way that not only helps you navigate that fact but also sets you on the path to celebrating that fact. Thank you, Dr. A and Pam for all that you do.
I love listening to Passionately Married podcast! I am newly married and want to be the best wife and person I can be. I attribute growth in my relationship to Passionately Married podcast. I love that it is Christian based and explains things in a way that is understood and easy to adapt.
My first marriage ended after 29 years when my husband left. My second marriage was wonderful, but after 5 years God called him home. I am on my 3rd marriage and will be my last. I listen to this podcast to guide my path to learn and grow to ensure a continued passionate marriage the rest of my life. Thank you for all the wonderful work you do!
If you’re a marriage podcast and you believe intimacy needs to happen within the confines of marriage, stop saying partner. It’s spouse, or husband and wife.
Love your show!
It was wonderful to be interviewed by you and to interview the two of you. So much alignment and juicy content both times!
Your topics, the content, and also the format of your show where we get to hear Pam’s input as well as your own—it’s all so encouraging and inspiring.
This has been a great podcast for years. Wonderful advice about how to build a strong marriage which starts with have two strong people. Learned to work on myself and become a better person and I’ve been amazed at the great results that has brought.
I’ve been listening to this show for 7 years. I’ve been part of one of the MasterMind groups for four years. Corey and SMR have changed my life. If you’re looking for the way to improve yourself to improve your marriage you can’t make a better choice. Dan H
I’ve been listening for a couple of years now because i always learn something new about my spouse — and about myself. Their online community is awesome too! You get to comment and share thoughts about each episode (or anything in your life, really). Highly recommended!!
Found this podcast 2 1/2 years ago. Joined the Academy a year ago. Found a space that truly supports couples seeking a long term deep connection in their relationship. Start here if you want to find tools to grow your relationship beyond the daily grind of life. Solid tools and real life messy problems discussed without feeling like they are holding back on the good stuff aka up selling. Listen to all of the podcasts!
The hosts promise to respond to every listener question and, in my experience, they mean it! I’ve sent in two questions (one via email and one via voicemail) and they discussed both on the podcast. Excellent! This kind of engagement encourages me to keep listening and interacting.
