In this heartfelt and humorous episode, the hosts kick things off by explaining the motivation behind launching their podcast. It wasn’t meticulously planned—they’re figuring it out as they go—but they both felt drawn to sharing their story and creating meaningful content. One host sees it as a chance to practice articulating thoughts, while the other enjoys the content creation aspect.
The episode dives deep into the couple’s origin story, starting from how they met as teens in school, reconnected after breakups, and slowly built a long-distance relationship through phone calls and Skype. They reminisce about high school flirtations, early challenges, and the slow evolution of their connection into something serious.
They also explore why their relationship has lasted, especially considering they married young and navigated the strains of military life. Key ingredients? Honest and vulnerable communication, shared values and faith, and a willingness to grow together through life’s challenges.
The episode closes on a warm note, celebrating how far they’ve come in 15 years, reflecting on what’s kept their marriage strong, and sharing stories that are both funny and insightful—like how one of them used to let guys buy drinks for the other at the bar!
