About Tyler Patrick:
Tyler is a Marriage and Family Therapist has dedicated his career to mastering and
understanding of recovery from sexual addiction and betrayal trauma. He has come to believe
that the men and women who embrace and live the principles of recovery do far more than get
their lives back. They become the best kinds of husbands and wives, fathers and mothers. He
has been married for over 20 years to an incredible woman and as a father to four amazing
daughters. His hobbies away from work include supporting his children's interests, fly fishing,
backpacking, and training River, his German Shorthaired Pointer.
Insights:
"I'm going to pursue a life where I understand what's going on in my mind and my heart, and
then choosing to live from that sort of centered, sort of gut place. And then that allows me to
live my life on, you know, on life's terms, if I'm having a bad moment, I can trust that I have the tools to do that. I can trust that I'm human.” -Tyler Patrick
“When you have two people who know who they are and can be vulnerable with one another,
and they choose to be with one another. That's where the deepest levels of connection
happen.” -Tyler Patrick
“If you're sitting there listening to this feeling like it's hopeless or it's dark, it's not, your story is not finished. It's just begun and you're sitting on a goldmine if you're willing to do the work.” -Tyler Patrick

It's often said that marriage takes work. The Stronger Marriage Connection podcast wants to help because a happy marriage is worth the effort. USU Family Life Professor Dr. Dave Schramm and Clinical Psychologist Dr. Liz Hale talk with experts about the principles and practices that will enhance your commitment, compassion, and emotional connection.
More than ever before, marriages face obstacles, from the busyness of work and daily hassles to disagreements and digital distractions. It's no wonder couples sometimes drift apart, growing resentful, lonely, and isolated.
