The Real Marriage Podcast
After ten years of marriage, two miscarriages, five children, job-changes and all kinds of surprises we’ve learned so much about what a Real Marriage is meant to look like. Yet, so many couples who were once madly in love, now feel distant, overwhelmed, isolated, and hopeless in their marriage. We knew it was time to get in the trenches and start an honest conversation about the gift of a Real Marriage. We began the Real Marriage podcast to help couples find their passion for marriage again. Our goal is to inspire and encourage you through conversations about our own marriage as well as through interviews with real couples and experts dealing with issues we all face in our marriages.
