After 27 years of marriage, we have learned that fighting is not only inevitable but it’s actually an important part of a healthy relationship. The key isn’t trying to avoid disagreements altogether, but learning how to navigate them in ways that bring us closer instead of tearing us apart. 

In this episode, we open up about our journey of learning to fight fair, the mistakes we’ve made along the way, and the powerful shifts that turned our conflicts from destructive battles into opportunities for deeper connection.

In this special episode, we’re sharing our full love story. 

From the moment we met in junior high with a simple handshake to 27 years of marriage (and counting). We discuss how our friendship began, the letters we exchanged in school, our first slow dance, and the kiss that changed everything.

We reflect on everything from our first slow dance to renewing our vows 25 years later.   And how choosing each other young didn’t mean missing out. It meant growing up and growing closer. 

If you love a good love story, this one is for you.

What if everything you thought you knew about sexual desire was keeping you from the connection you truly want? 

In this deeply personal episode, we pull back the curtain on our journey through years of sexual disconnect and the breakthrough understanding that finally changed everything.

Drawing from Emily Nagoski's revolutionary books "Come As You Are" and "Come Together," we explore the game-changing concept of sexual "accelerators and brakes" – the hidden forces that either spark or stifle desire.

The most profound revelation? Sometimes, your biggest sexual brake might be your partner's approach or expectations. 

Whether you're struggling with mismatched desire or simply want to deepen your connection, this episode offers a path forward.

Ready to transform your intimate relationship? The understanding waiting in this episode might be exactly what you've been searching for all along.

Today we are setting the record straight on the debate between ACCEPTANCE and SETTLING.

Let's clear it up now.

Acceptance, as we've discovered, is not about tolerating bad behavior or settling for less, but coming to terms with who your partner truly is. 

In this episode, we are talking candidly about our journey with acceptance and the role it has played in the transformation of our marriage.  

And we are debunking the misconception that acceptance means tolerating disrespect or abuse.  

Finally, we examine the importance of boundaries in relationships.

Settle in for a great discussion on a foundational pillar that saved our marriage.

Ever caught yourself scrolling through your social media feeds, caught up in the glamorous lives others seem to be living? In this Naked Quickie, we confront a prevalent issue: the incessant comparison of our relationships to what we see on social media and the detrimental effects it has on both our personal well-being and the health of our relationships. 

We dig into why we are naturally drawn to compare ourselves to others, and how social media elevates this instinct to a whole new level. The conversation then takes a turn, through personal stories,  towards solutions as we discuss practical and manageable strategies to keep the comparison in check. 

Join us for this quick yet insightful journey, as we explore the pitfalls of social media and how to rise above the scroll.
