302. 25 Hot Takes After 25 Years of Marriage

 July 10, 2025


 

“Falling in love is easy. Staying in love is a daily choice.”

We’re talking about real-life marriage—no fluff, no filters. From not keeping score to not relying on each other for every need, to embracing feminine energy, this is the stuff I wish I could go back and tell my younger self. And it’s the kind of conversation I hope you come back to whenever your own relationship needs a little reminder of what matters most.

Whether you’re newly engaged (like Emmie!), married for decades, or single and hopeful, this one’s for anyone who’s learning how to love with more grace, joy, and intention.

✨ In this episode, we share:

  • Why we don’t “work” on our marriage—and what we do instead

  • The secret to not keeping score

  • Why we never go on date nights (and what we do instead!)

  • How self-responsibility makes everything more connected

  • The power of physical affection and staying curious about each other

  • Embracing the next phase with joy, not fear

We laughed, we cried (okay, mostly me), and we left this conversation so full of gratitude. I hope it blesses you and encourages you right where you are.
