We name the quiet “third wheels” that sneak into marriage and pull our attention away from the person right in front of us. We challenge ourselves to notice what gets our best energy and to turn that focus back toward ea

We get real about why attraction changes after years of marriage and how the “wow” of dating can fade into routine. We share how we rebuild attraction by staying intentional, reconnecting emotionally, and choosing fun ag

We challenge the reflex to say “you don’t understand” when what we really want is relief from responsibility. We break down how ownership, going first, and small intentional choices can shift the tone of a marriage even

Temporary sacrifice can be part of a healthy marriage. Permanent distance can sneak in so quietly that you don’t notice it until you feel like strangers living under the same roof. We’re Aaron and Kim Degler, and we’re t

We stop chasing the next big moment and talk about how the strongest marriages are built in small, ordinary days. A story about John Wooden’s love letters challenges us to say what matters now and create everyday connect

We share a small convenience store moment that turns into a big lesson about emotional safety and why we don’t need to copy anyone else’s relationship rules. We land on a simple hot take: the healthiest marriage habits a

We challenge ourselves with one question: if someone heard the way we talk at home, what would they believe about our marriage. We share how our words shifted over 22 years from survival and sharp tones to intentional en

We trade the “lightning bugs in a jar” story for a clear marriage gut check: are we helping each other shine, or quietly tightening a lid. We unpack what it looks like to be a launcher through our tone, our support, and

We talk about the kind of legacy a marriage leaves behind and why it’s bigger than money or a last name. We share what we learned from our parents and how we try to model love, teamwork, and intention so our kids know wh

We start with a hot take that puts real weight on everyday words: what we affirm grows, and what we criticize spreads. We share how small phrases, comparisons, and “jokes” can either build confidence or quietly create re

We connect a car’s blind spot warning to the blind spots we all carry in marriage, and we get honest about how feedback can feel annoying even when it is protecting us. We share real examples from our own relationship an

We record from a cabin in the Arkansas woods to celebrate 22 years of marriage and talk about what we do when life feels like it’s buffering. We use a glitchy Titanic stream as a metaphor for stress, short nerves, and th

We get honest about the ways we’ve gotten marriage wrong, from comparison and selfishness to leaving expectations unspoken. We share what’s helped us grow, including setting a plan for our marriage and learning to fight

We talk about the couple habits that keep us connected after 22 years, especially the small, repeatable routines that make everyday life feel safe and close. Our biggest takeaway is simple: the strongest marriages are bu

We get honest about “till death do us part” by imagining the last day of our marriage and asking what would make us proud of the story we lived. Then we work backward from that final snapshot to the daily choices that pr

We get honest about what it looks like when anxiety and mental health struggles start shaping everyday life, from social plans to simple decisions at home. We also share the small, practical ways we support each other wh

We connect a simple idea to real marriage life: your spouse should feel like your best friend, not just your co-manager of the house. We talk about how friendship fades over time and what we do to build it back with smal
