My wife Melanie and I are celebrating 20-years of marriage this week (Feb 17th). WOW. Little did I think when I was checking out the attractive step-aerobics instructor in the late '90s when I was in graduate school, that she would eventually become my wife.

Today, Melanie is my special guest on the IMPACT Show as we share our Top 10 lessons from 20-years of marriage. I asked Melanie to pick her Top 5 lessons, and I have my Top 5 lessons. The best part is that we did NOT reveal our lessons to each other before the show.

After 20-years of marriage and having 3-kids, I can say we are now more in sync and in-love with each other than ever. But it hasn't always been that way, and we even share some of our more challenging times as well in today's episode. Furthermore, we share what got us through the tough times when we haven't been on the same page.

Enjoy this fun episode, as it's always good to have my better half on the Show revealing all my bad habits and secrets. I believe today's episode will help you laugh, learn, and love today more than usual, and it will put a huge smile on your face.

Additionally, if you enjoy today's Q&A episode, please share it with your community and on your social media. Please be sure to tag Melanie and me so we can reciprocate some love!
