Anyone a regular listener to the Marriage on a tight rope podcast?
Is it safe for a TBM?
Is it valuable in helping each side understand the nuances of a faith crisis and validating each other?

Is this the one with Allan Mount and his TBM wife Kattie. I have listened to a few episodes and they were pretty good. It looks at different perspective and how they make a mixed
Religious marriage work.

Yes, I've listened to many of them!
Prior to deciding on divorce, I listened to as many podcasts as I could about mixed faith marriages.

I think the name of the podcast has sort of kept me from being too interested. A tightrope assumes that your marriage is something that is in critical danger of falling to its death from the tiniest misstep or nudge. I think of my marriage as two people walking hand-in-hand on a pedestrian bridge with guard rails. Sure, one of us could jump off or push the other over the rail, but to do so they would have to care more about the voices of people shouting from either side of the bridge. To me it's those people who are walking tightropes. Their marriages couldn't endure what mine has. They are the ones who are in danger of losing their marriage to a puff of wind or a thrown stone.

I'm very late to this thread and may have missed my chance to matter here, but I have been a listener to Marriage on a Tightrope since it first launched. It is absolutely safe for a TBM. In fact TBM/PM (Post Member as they call it) is their target demographic.
My wife and I even took one of their online marriage/communication classes with Natasha Helfer. I very highly recommend it as it opened up some good communication lines between my wife and I and help us uncover a few things we both wanted to change.
Allan and Kattie are great at what they do.

Kattie addresses this in one of the first couple of episodes. Rather than focus on the danger of falling, they see it as intentional effort toward staying "on the rope" or together.
