Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!

Have you ever talked to a couple married for 20+ years and wondered, “How do they do it?”

Lasting love isn’t about luck—it’s about growth. Sure, meeting your person takes timing and chemistry, but staying happily married takes emotional awareness, communication, and a willingness to evolve together.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what really keeps a marriage strong—and it’s not avoiding arguments or scheduling more date nights. It’s the health of you.

Because your marriage is only as healthy as you are.

When you work on your emotional well-being, your self-awareness, and how you show up in conflict, everything else starts to shift. Conversations feel safer, connection feels easier, and teamwork becomes natural again.

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but still feel distant, this episode will show you what’s really missing—and how to start changing it.

Thanks for listening!
