Welcome back to our podcast! In today’s episode, we're diving deep into the heart of marriage and what it really means to share your life with someone — the highs, the lows, and everything in between.

Join us as we chat about our journey — from high school sweethearts to navigating the ups and downs of married life. We'll explore those tough conversations that many avoid, like what to expect after tying the knot and how to grow together (or apart). Spoiler alert: we definitely don’t have a perfect marriage, but we’ve learned a thing or two about communication, understanding, and support!

We'll tackle engaging topics like:

- Real-life marriage struggles and how we overcame them.

- The importance of maintaining your individual happiness.

- Check-in questions for couples that can help strengthen your relationship.

- And how to keep the spark alive, even during the chaotic 'sandwich generation' phase!
