Episode 349 - Dr. Dan Allender, "The Deep-Rooted Marriage"
Welcome to another episode of Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick. In today’s honest and insightful conversation, Michael sits down with Dr. Dan Allender—a renowned therapist, author, and longtime mentor—to discuss Dan’s latest book, The Deep-Rooted Marriage, co-authored with Dr. Steve Call and enriched by the wisdom and vulnerability of their wives, Becky Allender and Lisa Call. This episode isn’t just a discussion about techniques for a better marriage—it’s a candid exploration of the real, raw journey through conflict, trauma, shame, and, ultimately, transformation inside marriage. Dan and Michael reflect on how our histories, wounds, and unmet needs shape our relationships; why true change can’t happen without naming the truth; and how attunement, humility, and honest confession become the very soil in which a marriage can deeply root and flourish. You’ll hear moving stories from Dan’s own marriage, laughter about old cars and TV shows, and wisdom about the tension between safety and danger in vulnerability. It’s a heartfelt look at how marriages are shaped not only by their joys but also by their hardest moments—and why learning to bless, be curious, and face the deep roots beneath our conflicts is the path to lasting intimacy and hope.
