In this heartfelt and practical episode of The SavvyCast, Jamie and Zane share their best marriage advice, especially for young couples navigating their early years of marriage. Drawing from over 20 years of mentoring and counseling, they speak honestly about the most common questions young husbands ask Zane after the honeymoon is over.

While many men don’t fully engage in pre-marital counseling, Zane has found that once the realities of married life hit, they’re eager for practical wisdom. Whether you’re newly married, walking through a tough season, or mentoring others, this episode is packed with timeless truths and actionable tips.

2. Marriage is not easy.

3. Pray together—out loud!

5. Regular “State of the Union” check-ins (aka- “Holy of Holies Discussion”)

6. Encourage your new wife in godly friendships.

7. Embrace the “First to Apologize” rule.

8. Prioritize fun & laughter.
