Can the right vows become the foundation for a lifelong marriage?

In this episode of Unveiling Journeys, Tiffany Alexander sits down with Pippa & Eric, relationship coaches, retreat leaders, and authors who help couples create marriages built on intention—not assumptions.

After experiencing profound loss, divorce, grief, and unexpected love, Pippa and Eric discovered that traditional wedding vows often don't prepare couples for the realities of marriage. Their journey led them to develop a unique framework they call Three-Dimensional Vows, designed to strengthen communication, trust, and commitment long after the wedding day.

Bio:
Cheri and Eric Plantenberg are the co-authors of Those Lucky Bastards and the creators of Three Dimensional Vows™. Both came through first marriages that ended — one in loss, one in divorce — and found each other in the middle of it, rebuilding their lives by doing the work most couples skip. That experience became their life's work: helping engaged couples do that same work up front, while they're at their best. Eric brings decades as a speaker and coach to authors, athletes, and entrepreneurs; Cheri brings the grounded, honest voice at the heart of their teaching. Together, they lead retreats and coach couples to build marriages strong enough to hold whatever life brings.

✅ How grief and divorce unexpectedly brought them together
✅ Why traditional wedding vows often fall short
