    #18 When Life Falls Apart... What Happens to Your Marriage?
    Apr 29 2026
    ❤️💙Life hit us hard.

    We almost lost a parent and everything else just paused.

    The podcast. Our routines. Even parts of how we normally show up for each other.
    And it made us ask something real:

    What actually happens to a marriage when life falls apart?

    Do you pull away…
    Keep score…
    Feel disconnected…

    Or do you lean in…even when you’re exhausted?

    In this episode, we talk about:
    ❤️ 💙What this season looked like for us
    ❤️ 💙How we supported each other when things felt uneven
    ❤️ 💙The difference between codependence, independence, and healthy interdependence
    ❤️ 💙Why strong marriages aren’t always 50/50

    Because the truth is…
    the strength of your marriage shows up most when life is the hardest.

  • #17 Mistletoe Marriage!

    #17 Mistletoe Marriage!
    Dec 10 2025
    Join Abe and Elaine this Christmas as we give mistletoe a deeper meaning than just holiday décor.

    Historically, mistletoe stayed green when everything around it died back in winter, which made it a symbol of hope, renewal, and connection. Over time it became a reminder to pause, soften, share a kiss, and come close.

    This year we’re practicing mistletoe moments! ❤️ Tiny Pauses throughout the season where we stop long enough to really see each other.

    Not long talks.
    Not perfectly curated dates.
    Just intentional connection that quietly says:

    💚 You matter
    💚 I still choose you
    💚 I see you
    💚 I’m here

    Some moments will be sugar …soft compliments, gratitude pauses, a quiet hold by the glow of the tree, a prayer before bed.

    Some moments will be spice…..a sprig hung over the bed, a slow kiss, playful flirtation, a little warmth that reminds us we’re not just teammates but lovers too.

    Because marriage isn’t only strengthened by huge gestures, it flourishes in the gentle, repeated moments of closeness.

    This season, let mistletoe prompt you to slow down, kiss, laugh, pray, flirt, breathe, and come close again.❤️🎄

  • # 16 What Does Marriage Even Mean? Gottman Principle #7-Shared Meaning

    # 16 What Does Marriage Even Mean? Gottman Principle #7-Shared Meaning
    Nov 7 2025
    Join Abe and Elaine as they dive into Gottman’s final principle for making marriage work: Shared Meaning. This episode explores what your marriage stands for ….beyond chores, communication, or conflict.

    They’ll talk about how every couple needs to define the philosophy of their marriage:
    • What do we value?
    • What traditions matter to us?
    • How do we see parenting, politics, faith, or family roles?
    • What are the small daily rituals that make us “us”?

    From tiny moments like Sunday morning routines to the big beliefs that guide your life, shared meaning is what turns a relationship into a legacy.

    Tune in as Abe and Elaine unpack how couples can discover, define, and intentionally build their shared story…together.
