Love Lately

It's been one year since Lee and Ron launched the Love Lately podcast, and they're celebrating by doing something different. In this season finale, Lee interviews her husband from his man cave (fraternity memorabilia and all) about everything they've experienced together on and off camera.

Ron opens up about how the podcast stretched him beyond his comfort zone, what it means to truly study your partner, and why his definition of love, "an infinite desire for the well-being of another," shapes how he shows up every single day. Lee shares why she wanted Ron on the podcast in the first place: she sees a calling on his life and wanted to pull him into it.

They discuss the non-physical touches that make their marriage work, why Ron's boundaries are rock solid (and what Lee has learned from watching him say no), and how they've built a life together that Lee rates a 9.5 out of 10. This episode is part reflection, part celebration, and entirely real. Love Lately will return with new episodes, guest interviews, and fresh perspectives. Until then, remember: love can happen at any time in your life.

Marriage submission isn't what you think it is. In this episode of Love Lately, Lee and Ron Rogers tackle the controversial topic that makes many women uncomfortable. They reveal why submission has nothing to do with losing yourself and everything to do with strategic partnership. Ron explains his unexpected view that submission must be earned, not demanded, while Lee shares her perspective on submission as a protective covering rather than surrender. The couple discusses what happens when you can't trust your partner's decisions, the difference between healthy submission and toxic control, and practical advice for marriages where submission feels impossible. They explore dating red flags that predict submission struggles and break down the spiritual principles behind biblical marriage roles. Lee and Ron get real about their own relationship dynamics, including moments when submission didn't happen and what that looked like. This conversation will challenge assumptions about marriage hierarchy and help you understand submission as a mutual benefit rather than one-sided sacrifice. Their insights offer hope for couples struggling with traditional relationship roles.
