What does it really take to keep a marriage strong for 20 years? In this heartwarming and hilarious episode of the Whinypaluza Podcast, host Rebecca Greene is joined by her husband Seth and their teenage daughter Ella for a candid, joy-filled conversation about what makes a marriage work—and why love is a choice you make every day.


This special Whinypaluza Wednesday celebrates 20 years of marriage between Rebecca and Seth Greene. With their daughter Ella joining the conversation, the Greene family reflects on the lessons they’ve learned about love, communication, commitment, and connection. From laugh-out-loud anecdotes to deeply moving insights, this episode offers a rich blend of humor and wisdom. Rebecca shares some of her favorite marriage tips, Seth offers his perspective as a supportive partner, and Ella contributes thoughtful observations from growing up in a home built on intentional love.


🗝️ 5 Key Takeaways:

  1. Words Matter More Than You Think
    Ella shares how watching her parents taught her that communication is a marriage superpower. Speaking kindly, clearly, and consistently lays the foundation for trust and intimacy.
  2. Choose to See the Good
    Rebecca emphasizes the importance of focusing on what your partner is doing right. Gratitude isn’t just a nice idea—it’s a daily practice that keeps resentment at bay.
  3. Laughter is Sacred
    Seth’s humor has been a grounding force in their relationship. Laughter isn’t just a coping mechanism—it’s a bonding tool that diffuses tension and creates joy.
  4. Marriage is About Giving
    Seth explains that marriage thrives when both partners approach it with a mindset of giving, not taking. This attitude of generosity fosters mutual support and long-term happiness.
  5. Keep Choosing Each Other
    Rebecca reminds listeners that staying married isn’t a one-time decision. It’s a conscious choice—every single day—to show up, stay connected, and grow together.
