In Episode 10, I’m sitting down with my husband, Matt – a relationship coach who goes by “The Spark Guy” (check him out on Instagram @thesparkguy) – to answer YOUR questions about marriage. Although we never claim to have a perfect marriage, we’ve been happily married for nearly 9 years, and it’s safe to say we’ve learned a few things along the way… today, we’re pulling back the curtain and diving into the nitty-gritty!

In addition to discussing our own marriage, we’ll share some general advice based on what we’ve observed and experienced (this is where Matt SHINES, y’all!). This episode is for you if you’re interested in learning about our marriage – what works and what doesn’t, how we keep the fire burning bright, etc – and if you’re looking for insight and information on what it looks like to have a healthy, flourishing relationship that’s built to last.
