In this episode, Craig and Cuddles talk about how much space in a relationship is healthy, especially when you live in a tiny home, an ADU, a van, or just feel on top of each other all the time. They share real stories from their own relationship, how they cool off after arguments without checking out, and why a little breathing room can actually bring couples closer instead of pushing them apart.​

You’ll hear them dive into relationship conflict, cooling‑off time, and what “I need space” can look like in a healthy marriage or partnership. They also talk about kids needing space on crowded playgrounds, creative ways to get outside, and how finding a new church community at
Arbor Road Church helped refill their emotional and spiritual tanks.​
