Check out Arlene's new book, Making Marriage Easier: How to love (and like) your spouse for life https://makingmarriageeasier.com/

What have I learned about a happy marriage after 26 years and counting? My husband James joins me on the podcast as we celebrate the launch of my new book, Making Marriage Easier. You can build a marriage you love. One of the keys to an easier marriage is listening to one another--really listening. On today's episode, we'll talk about: 

4:15 Wait what...I need electrolysis???

8:10 Why is listening so important in marriages  

14:43 I thought I was a good listener but then...

16:35 What is going on in my life that I’m not listening to?

James and Arlene Pellicane have been married for 26 years and live in San Diego. They have three children and a giant goldendoodle. James works as a Realtor in San Diego and loves helping people find the perfect home.
