What does lasting love actually look like after decades together?
In this episode, I sit down with Jodie Howard to talk about what it really takes to build a relationship that lasts through life’s hardest seasons. Jodie shares the story of her 30+ year marriage and how she and her husband have navigated military deployments, parenting four children, raising a daughter with cerebral palsy, and growing as individuals while staying deeply connected as partners.
Jodie brings such an honest and refreshing perspective to marriage. Instead of pretending long relationships are easy, she talks about the intentional choices that keep love alive. From learning how to reconnect during stressful seasons to protecting emotional intimacy while raising kids, this conversation is full of wisdom for anyone who wants a relationship that grows stronger over time.
Jodie is also the co-host of Higher Love: The Podcast, where she and her husband share real conversations about relationships, parenting, and choosing love every day.
Whether you’ve been married for years, are in the thick of parenting, or simply hope to build a lasting relationship one day, this episode will leave you encouraged.
In This Episode We Talk About
• What it really means to “choose each other” every day in a long-term marriage
• Navigating military life and deployments while staying emotionally connected
