In today’s episode we are joined by Senior Chief Darek Laviolette US Navy SEAL (ret). Darek served 24 years of active duty, 9 combat deployments and received the Bronze Star with Valor. However, Darek’s most proud work is helping men and women through rough spots in their marriages. His book A Seal to Heal Your Marriage helps with just that.
In today’s episode we discuss relationship advice topics that include: 
- How Darek’s experience as a Navy Seal helped him write his new book.
- Treat your spouse how they would like to be treated.
- How we can become blind to the things that need to be done to help fix a relationship.
- And much more!
