We are Louis and Rachel, and this year marks our 10th year together, and 5th year married. Communication has been the single most significant behavior that strengthened our relationship and kept our marriage stronger and solid every single year.

Is communication important to you? 

In this episode, we share our experiences on the statement: "Communication is KEY". In the past but didn't understand the meaning of this statement until we embarked on a long distance relationship which led to an exclusive relationship which ended in a commitment to live our lives together until death does us apart.

Tell us what your perspective is on communication in your marriage/relationship?

We are Louis and Rachel, and alot of married couples warned us that "Marriage would be A LOT of WORK". At first, this statement actually scared us. But is it true? Is marriage a lot of work? Or is it just something that married couples like to say to scare single people or newly weds? Or are they actually spitting wisdom while warning us about the pain/hardship to come? 

After 5 years of marriage and 10 years of relationship, we share on this podcast the myth vs. the reality of this statement while reflecting on our personal experiences. We hope this will edify you on your life journey.
