Business matters, but marriage matters more. In this episode, Alex explains why marriage should always be the top priority, and then unpacks the framework he and Aspen use in their marriage to navigate conflict in a healthy way. He defines the concept of “rules of engagement,” then shares his own 5 rules as an example for the kind of commitments you can establish with your own spouse.
