This week we are answering questions that YOU, our listeners, submitted to us!

We hope you enjoy this easy listening episode that reveals a more personal glimpse into our lives.

With the current uncertainty of our world causing wedding plans to change constantly, many couples are adapting their wedding to accommodate a smaller guest list. We promise your wedding, though smaller in numbers, can be far more elegant, beautiful, and special than you anticipate. Cody and I know this episode will inspire you to rethink all that is possible for your intimate wedding celebration!

We learned something about each other in this episode! We chose to have a candid conversation showing you all how we check-in with one another. It’s incredible how even the simplest questions can spark deep and raw conversations that help us really know our partner and what they're going through, joyful or difficult. The longer we’ve been married, the more we’ve learned how communication is critical to understanding each other which in turn allows us to support one another. We hope you enjoy learning a bit about us while we discuss some personal life details!

When you live together, it can seem like it’s been forever since you’ve been on a date. We realized shortly after getting married that although we spent so much time together in our apartment, we didn’t intentionally connect with one another to have good conversations or simply hang out to enjoy being together. Because we believe dates are so important for us to build a great relationship, we wanted to share how we’ve made our date nights exciting and life-giving.
