Hello Chicago! by @jmbaumgardner

Have you ever found yourself in an argument with your spouse and thought, “How did we even get here?”

Research shows that most of the time, the thing couples are arguing about isn’t actually “the thing” they’re arguing about.

There’s usually a deeper need underneath the frustration, defensiveness and hurt.

That’s why I loved my conversation with Mike Foster on this week’s episode of Marriage on the Daily with a Julie B. We talk about the 7 Primal Questions and how each of us is wired with a core emotional need that often traces back to our earliest experiences. When you understand what that need is and learn how to communicate it in a healthy way it doesn’t just change you, it changes your marriage.

I took the quiz myself and it gave me a whole new perspective on why certain situations affect me the way they do.

One of the things I say often is, “Healthy people ask for what they need.” But, what if somewhere along the way, you learned that your needs didn’t matter? Or that asking for them wasn’t safe?

That can shape the way you show up in every relationship, especially in your marriage.

On this week’s episode of Marriage on the Daily with Julie B, my guest, Mike Foster, author of The 7 Primal Questions, explains that each of us has one core emotional question we’re trying to answer, often rooted in our earliest experiences. Whether we realize it or not, that question influences how we think, react, connect and even how we love. It’s a great conversation with a lot of insights. The episode is out today.

What if one question has been shaping your relationships your entire life and you didn’t realize it?

That’s exactly what I talked about with my guest, Mike Foster, on this week’s episode of Marriage on the Daily with Julie B.

Mike shares the concept behind his book, The 7 Primal Questions, the idea that each of us has one core question we’ve been trying to answer since childhood. That question often influences how we love, communicate, respond to conflict and what we need most from the people closest to us.

I took the quiz and my primal question is - Am I loved? At my core, I want to know that I am seen, loved and valued.

It was definitely a conversation I think you will find interesting.

Take the quiz yourself at primalquestions.com and tell me what you discovered about yourself.

Full episode drops tomorrow. Not only do I think our conversation will help you better understand yourself, it might help you better understand your spouse. #marriageonthedailywithjulieb #newlyweds #connection #marriagematters by @jmbaumgardner

None of us gets to choose the challenges that come our way. We do get to choose how we face them.

One of the things I loved most about my conversation with Montell and Kristin Jordan was hearing how they chose to fight through one of life’s hardest seasons together.

Whether you’re walking through a crisis or just navigating the everyday pressures of marriage, their honesty, faith, and practical wisdom will encourage you.

I think you’ll walk away from this week’s conversation asking yourself, How can we become a stronger team?

You probably know Montell Jordan for his #1 hit, This is How We Do It. But, there’s another story you may not know.

Montell is a two time cancer survivor.

This week on Marriage on the Daily with Julie B, Montell and his wife, Kristin, literally walked through the real life version of this is how we do it as they shared what it looked like to walk through those diagnoses together. The conversation is incredibly powerful.

“In sickness and in health” can sound like a beautiful promise on your wedding day. But when sickness actually comes, those words take on a whole new meaning.

This week on Marriage on the Daily with Julie B, my friends Montell and Kristin Jordan share a very candid conversation about walking through cancer together not once, but twice.

You may know Montell from his #1 hit, This is How We Do It, but this conversation reveals another side of their story- the faith, strength and teamwork it took to face an incredibly difficult season together.

Their story is powerful. You won’t want to miss it.

You know your husband loves you when…..he agrees to water the flowers-lots of flowers that he doesn’t love- for a whole week while you are away. Got home late last night from NARME. This morning I found a thank you note from my flowers thanking me for returning home. 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Note the “We are still alive” part. As you can see, he did a great job and I know for sure it was a labor of love. It was important to him because it was important to me, but he really couldn’t care less about the flowers. I love you Jay Baumgardner and I’m grateful!!!!! by @jmbaumgardner

What an incredible three days!

I had the privilege of spending the week with an amazing community of marriage and family practitioners, researchers, educators, counselors, coaches, policymakers, ministry leaders, students, and community champions—all united by one shared mission: strengthening marriages and families.

From inspiring conversations in the hallways to meaningful networking and outstanding plenary sessions and workshops, every part of the 2026 NARME Summit challenged, encouraged, and equipped us.

One of the highlights for me was Dr. Bill Doherty’s thought-provoking plenary on navigating political division within marriages and families. It was timely, practical, and a reminder that healthy relationships matter more than winning arguments.

We also celebrated three remarkable leaders—Commissioner Clarence Carter, Bill Coffin, and Carl Caton—whose lifetime contributions have made a lasting impact on families across our nation. It was an honor to recognize each of them.

And what a milestone for NARME—this was the first Summit to completely sell out!

I’m grateful for every speaker, volunteer, attendee, sponsor, and exhibitor who made this year’s Summit so special.

Now… on to Atlanta! I can’t wait to see what next year holds. by @jmbaumgardner
