“Would You Want Your Daughter to Marry a Man Like You?”
When Aston asked Adam that question, his answer was immediate.
“No. F**k no.”
It was a turning point.
Not just in their marriage but in how they saw themselves. As partners. As parents. As people.

Aston and Adam Simmonds take us deep into the trenches of a relationship on the brink,  from silence and resentment to radical honesty and transformation.
They didn’t just save their marriage.
They rebuilt themselves.
What followed was brutal accountability, uncomfortable growth, and a complete rewiring of what it means to be a partner, a parent, a man, a woman,  and most importantly, a whole human being.
Now they guide thousands through Save My Marriage School, and their Recreate Your Relationship Retreat, but this episode? This is where they strip it all back.

This convo is for you if:
 👉  You feel like you’re roommates, not lovers.
 👉  You’ve been pretending everything’s fine for far too long.
 👉  You’re scared of what your kids are learning by watching you.
 👉  You’re starting to realise: It’s not them. It’s me.
 👉  You don’t need another relationship hack.
 👉  You need to get honest.
