What happens when you take two people with contrasting views on money, varying upbringing, and a sprinkle of selfishness? You get a marriage, of course! We're sitting down with Jill and Shannon Dyson, my dear friends, who have been navigating the rough seas of marriage for an impressive 25 years. They're ready to spill the beans about their adventures, the trials and tribulations, and how they've worked through their own selfish tendencies to understand each other better. They even share some fun anecdotes including how Shannon ended up being known as Jill's husband!

Money; it can make or break a marriage. Jill and Shannon share their divergent views on money and how it has shaped their relationship. We're carving out this touchy subject to explore the role of financial responsibility, the impact of differing upbringings, and how attitudes towards money can expose character. And, spoiler alert, it's not just about balancing the books, but also about balancing egos. As we navigate through these murky waters, you'll realize the importance of having honest, sometimes difficult, conversations about both spending and saving.

Marriage is a journey, and every journey has its bumps. This couldn't be truer for Jill and Shannon, who had to weather a global pandemic together. They talk about how their contrasting personalities - Jill, the extrovert, and Shannon, the introvert - came together to find balance during these challenging times. We're also touching on the fragile topic of divorce rates and the importance of staying connected to prevent drifting apart. We wrap up with them sharing practical strategies to maintain the spark in their marriage, including the incredible story of Craig Strickland and his wife. 

Steer away from the same old marriage advice. Join us for an engaging conversation with a couple who've weathered 25 years of storms, sunshine, and everything in between. Learn, laugh, and, most importantly, unlearn together.
