Xceptional Marriage Podcast with Zach & Chelsey
Anyone who says marriage is easy is lying or hasn’t been married. But we all go into it with these expectations. And at some point we wake up and realize our marriage sucks & maybe getting out would be easier. If that’s you, you’re not alone. We were there too! We all know what a crappy or mediocre marriage is but what’s an exceptional marriage? It’s one you love to live! It’s fun, solid, invigorating, united and full of life! Is our 14+ years of marriage bliss? Hardly. That’s why we are opening the doors of our marriage to share how we daily struggle well together. The good, the bad, and the down right ugly. We reject the typical advice of compromising or suppressing who God made us in the name of a “happy marriage.” Compromise means no one actually wins. We want husbands and wives winning together!! We are so glad you’re here because we truly believe the strength found in community and through vulnerability of shared struggles is the key to unlocking our potential for success in marriage.While we aren’t marriage experts, we invite you to join us in the conversation about struggling well- growing, learning, & developing together. This is what builds an exceptional marriage. It’s the concepts PLUS daily action and shared direction without compromise ALL rooted in the power of mindset shift.
