Description

What do spies and spouses have in common?

In this episode of Marriage IQ, we sit down with Jeremy Hurewitz — former foreign correspondent turned corporate intelligence specialist and author of Sell Like a Spy — to talk about what high-level spy skills can teach us about marriage.


You’ll learn:

✅How to get honest answers from your partner without starting a fight

✅The FBI-inspired way to calm an emotional argument before it explodes

✅Verbal mirroring and the “FM radio voice” trick that helps your partner feel safe

✅Radical empathy: caring for your spouse even in moments you don’t actually like them

✅How elite listeners make you feel like you’re the only person in the room — and how to practice that at home


We also get into body language, reading what’s really going on under the surface, and knowing whether your spouse is mad at YOU… or just mad at the situation.


If you’ve ever thought, “We’re talking, but we’re not connecting,” this one is for you.
