Have you heard some variation of this before? 

“Marriage is hard. It’s unfair. One of you will always pull more weight. Marriage doesn’t make you happy; it makes you miserable.” 

I'd like to push back against that pessimistic mindset. Yes, it’s true that marriage can be challenging—but it can also be one of the greatest relationships you will experience!

Marriage is certainly not easy, but it can be easier if we approach it the right way. Joining us to share her insights on doing just this is my friend, Arlene Pellicane. Arlene is a speaker, host of the Happy Home podcast, and author of several books including Parents Rising, Screen Kids, and Making Marriage Easier. Arlene has been featured on the Today Show, Fox & Friends, the Wall Street Journal, and Focus on the Family.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The four decisions that deeply impacted Arlene’s marriage
• Why you should silence your phone while spending time with your spouse
• The benefits of trying something new together
• And more!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Arlene, and she has so many great tips on how to make marriage easier.
