Choosing who to marry might be the single most consequential decision of your life—more significant than your career path, education, or where you live. In this vulnerable and honest conversation, we explore why this choice matters so deeply and how it shapes everything that follows.
The person you commit to can either propel you forward like a rocket ship or devastate your potential like a nuclear bomb. They bring their own baggage, values, communication styles, and conflict patterns that will inevitably intertwine with yours. We share from our own experiences how crucial it is to find someone who shares your fundamental values, even if you're not always on the same page.
Marriage isn't just about romance and butterflies—though those matter! It's about finding someone who reads your emotional "page" even when they disagree, who handles conflict in ways you can navigate together, and who's willing to grow alongside you as priorities shift. We candidly discuss how our own values have remained consistent through 13 years together, while our focus has evolved dramatically as we've moved through different life stages.
For those already married and struggling to connect, we offer two simple but powerful exercises: remember why you said "yes" initially, and identify why you're choosing to stay now. These questions can reorient you toward each other and the foundations of your relationship. We believe that when you commit that "divorce is not an option," you create the safety needed to work through even the toughest challenges together.
Whether you're considering marriage, newly wed, or decades in, join us at the table as we unpack our baggage about what makes relationships last when the initial excitement fades. Share your thoughts with us—we'd genuinely love to hear from you as we continue this journey together.
