Making Love Podcast
Married in 4 months.
30 years later… still obsessed with each other.
Yeah—we’ve got some things to say.
Welcome to The Making Love Podcast.
What if marriage wasn’t something you just maintained…
But something you intentionally built, protected, and genuinely enjoyed?
We combine biblical truth with real-life, practical wisdom to help you create a marriage that’s:
- Strong in faith
- Deeply connected
- And actually fun
We talk about the real stuff:
- How to keep communication open (even when it’s hard)
- How to avoid emotional shutdown
- Understanding your spouse’s “marriage language”
- Navigating entrepreneur + non-entrepreneur dynamics
- And building a love that keeps growing—not fading
We’re pastors, parents of 3 grown sons, and grandparents… but at the end of the day, we’re still choosing each other—and still having fun doing it.
This isn’t about perfection.
It’s about building a marriage that lasts—and feels alive along the way.

When Conflict Hits How Strong Couples Fight Together, Not Against Each Other
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Time to put down your differences for this powerful and deeply transparent episode of the Making Love Podcast with Tish and Pastor Roy, the conversation explores a truth that can completely transform any marriage, learning how to fight together instead of against each other.
Conflict is inevitable. Life brings pressure, mistakes, setbacks, and unexpected challenges. The real question is not whether couples will face conflict, but how they choose to respond when it comes. This episode invites you to shift your perspective from blame and division to unity and strategy.
Through raw storytelling and real life experiences, Tish and Pastor Roy open up about one of the most difficult seasons in their marriage, a time marked by financial loss, broken communication, and emotional distance. What could have torn them apart instead became the foundation for a deeper understanding of partnership, accountability, and trust.
They challenge listeners to consider a new approach. What if, in moments of frustration, instead of pointing fingers, you paused and recognized that the real problem is not your spouse, but the situation standing in front of both of you. What if you chose to stand side by side and face it together.
This episode highlights the importance of communication, vulnerability, and letting go of fear based decisions that create distance. It reminds couples that unity is not automatic, it is intentional. Fighting together means protecting the relationship, even in the middle of pain.
If you have ever felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, or on the verge of giving up during hard seasons, this conversation will encourage you to rethink conflict and rediscover the strength that comes from standing together.
Because the strongest marriages are not the ones without struggles, they are the ones that refuse to let those struggles come between them.
