Send us a text

After 24 years of marriage, Kelly and I have seen it all: the highs, the lows, the “did you seriously just do that?” moments, and the “how did I get so lucky?” ones, too. 

In this episode, we’re spilling our 24 best marriage lessons, the ones they don’t put in the wedding vows, but definitely should.

From keeping the spark alive (spoiler: yes, intimacy still matters a lot), to tag-teaming life’s curveballs, to knowing when to stand your ground and when to let the petty stuff slide… we’re dishing the mindset shifts and secret sauce that have kept us laughing, loving, and choosing each other for more than two decades.

So grab your partner (or your future partner in crime) and get ready for some marriage truth bombs,  equal parts sweet, spicy, and straight to the point.

Takeaways

• 24 years together = expert status in “marriage improv.”
• It’s always us vs. the problem, never us vs. each other.
• Play the long game; most “big” fights aren’t big in five years.
• Respect each other’s quirks and triggers (even the ones that make zero sense).
• Never, ever partner-bash in public. We’re a united front, baby.
• Intimacy isn’t optional; keep the spark sizzling.
• Be each other’s biggest hype person.
• Share the load; you’re not just glorified roommates.
• Communicate early and often, or resentment will RSVP.
• Find joy in the daily grind; date nights are great, but so is laughing while folding laundry.
