And here is Andi’s recipe as promised on most today’s podcast. Can’t wait to try this😋
Thank you Andi💕
Chicken Parm:
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
1.5 lb chicken breast
2 eggs
½ cup heavy cream or whole milk
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 stick Butter
Olive oil
1 cup shredded parm cheese
1 tsp garlic Salt
1/2 tsp pepper
For the sauce:
3 cups halved cherry tomatoes
3 cloves minced garlic
½ cup heavy cream
1/3 cup Olive oil
¼ stick butter
1/4 cup chopped Fresh basil
1 tsp orange zest
Salt pepper to taste
Topping
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1-2 cups mozzarella cheese
1 box of thin spaghetti noodles
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.
Using a meat tenderizer, beat chicken down to where it’s all about ¼ in thick.
Next cut up chicken to where it’s in smaller pieces, about 2x3 in each
Beat together eggs, cream, salt and pepper in medium sized bowl
Combine the bread crumbs with flour, parm cheese, garlic salt and pepper
Over medium heat, using a medium sized sauté pan, add the butter and olive oil.
(To determine when it’s ready for the chicken, sprinkle a tiny amount of flour to see if it sizzles immediately)
Once the oil is hot and ready, dredge the chicken in egg, then flour mix before placing in pan. Allow to look 2-3 min on each side and continue this process until all chicken is cooked
Next, using a large sauce pan, combine butter, olive oil, and tomatoes and allow to cook until all the tomatoes have burst and reduced down. Then add remainder of ingredients and simmer until fragrant and thick.
Add half the sauce to the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish, then place chicken to cover. Add the other half of the sauce on top and finish off with cheese topping.
Bake in oven for 15-18 min until cheese is bubbly and brown. While the park is in the oven, cook the spaghetti but following the directions on the box.
Serve over spaghetti with an optional dash of extra parm cheese and chiffon cut basil. Enjoy!

Who doesn't want a great s*x life in marriage? Research shows the healthiest marriages are those who report having healthy, fulfilling, and frequent s*xual engagement.
In this episode, we dive into an online study of 70,000 people in 24 countries that revealed 13 keys to great s*x. The researchers were curious about what might be different about couples who said that they had a great s*x life, compared to couples who said that they had a bad s*x life.
Here's their findings - Couples who have a great s*x life everywhere on the planet are doing the same set of things. Couples who do not have a great s*x life everywhere on the planet are not doing these things.
So let's figure out what those things are!

Your presence is the greatest present you can give your spouse! But it's not easy, especially in a day when technology and busy schedules saps our focus and pushes us to the point of mental exhaustion.
So what do we do? We can just give up and slide into a relational comfort zone or we can stop what we're doing, take control and do something about it.
That's what we talk about in today's podcast. We're going to talk about two important keys to experiencing presence in your marriage and five practical steps to stay that way.
And we even stayed in our robes to record this podcast. So enjoy!

“Just let me go to Trader Joe’s,” she said. “We need groceries.”
Before oneness in marriage, there's "two-ness." You have to be individually healthy before you can be relationally healthy. The second greatest commandment echoes this when we're told to love others (our spouse) "as we love ourselves."
A healthy life is the foundation for a healthy marriage.
In today's episode, we brought in an expert to show us how we can be the best version of ourselves by thriving in our body, mind, and spirit.
A former middle school teammate with Jason, Dr. John Skelton has worked more than 20 years as an Emergency Room doctor. After seeing thousands of patients struggling with perpetual problems, he started his own Lifestyle Medical practice that focuses on holistic health - mind, body, spirit.
Tune in and find out what causes anxiety and what you can do about it, how to reverse diabetes, how hormonal levels play a role in everything, and a surprising three-step plan to deal with the stress in your life.
God wants you to be the healthiest version of yourself. Every part of you is linked - if one part is sick then it affects every other part, including your closest relationships. Listen to Dr. John as he dives deep to help you get healthy.

Check out our latest Beauty In Battle podcast on using humor to manage conflict.
There are two types of marital conflict - the kind that can be resolved and the kind you have to live with.
Solvable conflict relates to a specific situation or behavior. Unsolvable conflict is more about personality differences and underlying issues.
Most conflict falls into the unsolvable category. But you don’t have to resolve these marital conflicts in order to thrive.
Dr. John Gottman, a world-famous psychotherapist, said that after 40 years of research he found that using humor to be one of the best ways for couples to calm themselves in the midst of a fight.
Humor isn't just good for your marriage, it's proven to be beneficial to your physical body as well.
In this episode, we'll dive into the power of laughter in your relationship and how we discovered it in the midst of a fight outside our County Fair!
Enjoy.

Did you know that buried emotions never die? They show up in the strangest places and at the most random times often wreaking havoc on our closest relationships. Insecurities from the past, doubts about the future, fear of failure, overwhelming self-consciousness - all of these and more can creep their way into your marriage and hold you back from becoming the vibrant couple God made you to be.
In today's episode, we'll dive into the two keys to properly dealing with emotions from the past so they won't hold you back in your present and how they can actually become springboards for your future. We'll look at a prophet in the Old Testament, how he helped one of his buddies get to the source of his problem and how he aligned himself with the supernatural.
Our culture rewards people for "holding things together" when they go through tough situations. But doing so can damage you emotionally if you don't properly deal with the stuff you felt while you went through it. Even worse, if you hold onto it for too long, the weight will be too much to bear.
But it doesn't have to be this way. You can thrive emotionally and flourish relationally if you know how to get to the root. Dive in and let's do this together!

Every human being was created to connect with others. This is even more so the case in marriage. But disconnection is the natural tendency in our sin-fallen world.
However, there is a way to connect on a deeper level with your spouse - and it starts with being emotionally intelligent about where to look.
In our latest podcast episode, Tori will share three core "stances" we take to meet our needs and how understanding the one we predominately rely on is the key to connecting deeper with our spouse.
Enjoy!
Did you know that married couples who pray together are 90% more likely to report higher satisfaction in their s*x life than couples who don't pray together?
Call us crazy, but we've discovered that incorporating prayer in our marriage does way more than simply increase physical satisfaction - it draws us together unlike anything else can.
Why? Because all truly healthy marriages involve three people - husband, wife, and God. When you bring God into your relationship great things happen.
God is your Father, so He knows what you need more than you do. But He's also your Father-in-Law - He knows what your spouse needs. Better yet, He will give you the keys to their heart if you'll simply take time to listen to Him.
That's what this episode is all about - how to incorporate prayer into our marriage and how to leverage it's power in our relationship.
We'll wrap up with three aspects of prayer that all couples need to do every single day.
Enjoy. This one is a fun one. https://beautyinbattlepodcast.buzzsprout.com/1913512/11304163

When you and your spouse first met, FEELING came before EXPRESSION. You “felt” something before you expressed how you felt.
But then we get married and the chaos of life hits, and that "lovin feelin" seems to be the last thing on our minds. It's at these moments that we learn a valuable truth - while feeling came before expression before marriage, after marriage expression comes before feeling!
Actions come first!!!
Think about this - you don’t feel healthy and then run three miles do you? You don't feel healthy and then skip dessert do you?
No! You run three miles and skip dessert, THEN you feel healthy. Actions first.
In today's episode we're going to look at a small book in the Bible named after a man who drew a tough assignment from God. His name was Hosea, and if there ever was a man who had to learn this lesson it was him. But the miracle of the story is just as true for you and your spouse as it was for him!
Tune in and see what God did through him to show us how we can be wildly attracted to our spouse.

The most important thing you can do in your marriage is learn how to communicate properly to your spouse. Why? Because communication is all about CONNECTION!
When you dated your spouse you had no problem communicating. But then you got married and all of a sudden communicating became hard.
But it doesn't have to stay that way! In this episode we'll dive into two familiar stories in the Bible that shows the power of communication, and draw out three key elements that are important for us to understand if we're going to connect with our spouse.
Good communication starts with a clear understanding of three things:
1) You need to understand that God brought you together.
2) You need to understand you and your spouse are wired differently.
3) You need to understand that communication is often difficult.
Oh, and one more thing - if you listen all the way to the end Tori will let you in on a little food recipe she discovered was a gamechanger for our family! Just for fun!

A few weeks ago we had lunch with one of our pastors from church and his wife. The way they interacted with each other was one of the most refreshing and enlightening experiences we've had with a couple. After 22 years of marriage, they are still "madly" in love with each other, love being around one another, all while being in full-throttle parent mode.
We sat in our car afterward and both agreed - "we're gonna get these two on our podcast, period!" Fortunately, we didn't have to threaten them or anything like that! Ha Ha.
We finally got them in the studio and had a powerful conversation. All we can say is that you're going to love these two.
In this episode, Nathan and Tamsey Smith share their story and some very practical marriage advice. They give several things they do to keep their marriage vibrant. The first tip they share is something we're going to incorporate in our own marriage immediately!
