257 | Parenting Advice from Grandparents You Didn't Know You Needed
There’s so much we can learn from the older (and wiser) generation of grandparents! Today we thought we’d tap into that wealth of knowledge by asking grandparents to send in their best life advice and sharing them on the podcast! It was so sweet to read advice from people who have already gone through the season we’re in now and we were reminded of what’s most important in life. We hope this episode makes you happy like it did for us 🙂
Love you guys!

Balancing the Mental Load & Building Intimacy
Today, we had the pleasure of sitting down with relationship expert, wife and mom of two- Dr. Morgan Cutlip to chat about managing the mental load in marriage for more joy, less resentment, and deeper intimacy. All topics she covers in depth in her new book, A Better Share! This conversation was both eye-opening and encouraging. We gained valuable insights on recognizing unhealthy patterns in how we carry our mental loads, how to prevent the resentment from creeping into your marriage and how to keep your marriage playful and fun despite how long it’s been! Let us know your thoughts in the comments 🙂
Love you guys!

256 | Reflecting on 9 Years of Marriage
Today's our 9th anniversary!! So we thought what better way to celebrate than to sit down and reminisce on the last nine incredible years together. We've come so far since the early days of our marriage and I'm so proud of us for continuing to choose each other every single day❤️

255 | Marriage isn't about your happiness
Today we tackled the countercultural topic that marriage isn’t just about your happiness. Oof, we know this one is a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people but in a world telling us to only pursue what makes us feel happy in the moment, we felt this episode was an important reminder that when it comes to your commitment to marriage, it’s always worth pursuing. We hope that whether you’re engaged, newlyweds, or have been married for a long time you find hope in this episode, knowing that marriage is a beautiful gift and wonderful tool for character refinement, compromise and selflessness- sometimes more than we’d prefer ;)
Love you guys!
