This week, Meg and Kyle are celebrating twenty-three years of marriage, and they have filled this conversation with stories and moments big and small from having spent over half of their lives together. They dissect fights over McDonald’s on an interstate in Texas, revisit what made Meg clutch her pearls the first time she saw Kyle, and pinpoint some of the biggest surprises of the past few decades. They also share some of the disappointments (especially a very recent loss), as well as giving their best advice for married life.
