Listen Later

It’s our 100th episode! Can you believe it? To celebrate this milestone, we’re sharing ten simple hacks for a stronger, happier marriage.

Over the last four years, we’ve talked about each of these in different episodes, but today we’re pulling them all together in one place. These hacks are doable, encouraging, and designed to bring you closer as a couple.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Hack 1: Think “Us,” Not “Me” — shift from “me” to “we” for unity and teamwork.
  • Hack 2: Get on the Same Page — create shared goals and expectations, and keep checking in.
  • Hack 3: Dream Together, Stay Together — build connection by pursuing shared dreams.
  • Hack 4: Make Rituals Your Super Glue — create traditions that bond you through consistency.
  • Hack 5: Show Love with Follow-Through — build trust with small, steady actions.
  • Hack 6: Progress Beats Perfection — focus on growth, not flawless performance.
  • Hack 7: Stay Flexible to Stay Connected — adapt to life’s curveballs as a team.
  • Hack 8: Battle Problems, Not Your Partner — face challenges side by side instead of against each other.
  • Hack 9: Turn Conflict into Closeness — lean into conflict with humility and respect to grow stronger.
  • Hack 10: Keep Love Playful and Fun — laugh together and flirt often to keep the spark alive.

US TIME CHALLENGE

Choose one hack from the list and practice it together. Whether it’s starting a small ritual, showing follow-through, or sharing a laugh, see how it strengthens your marriage this week.
