  May 27, 20251h 10mS6

  Send a text Intimacy dwindling? Lacking spontaneity? This episode is for you! In this episode, Russell and Brandi discuss how they maintain their spark and connection outside the bedroom. They dive into what it means for them to "stay curious", how seeing each other thrive in business/ministry fuels their spark, and how frequency does not necessarily reflect quality and so much more.

  Trust the Process...God Had a Plan!

  May 12, 20251h 12mS6

  Send a text In this episode of What They Never Told Us, we're sharing the most personal parts of our journey - from first love to second chances, and the hard conversations in between. We open with a real, vulnerable moment: Russell wants another baby, but Brandi isn't open to trying again. Her painful history with miscarriages and the emotional toll that come with pregnancy loss makes trying again a hard no! We also walk through our full love story - how we met in middle school, fell in love in high school, tried (and failed) to reconnect in college, and how God brought us back together 20 years later, more healed and more ready than we ever were before. This episode is about more than just love. It's about grief, growth, timing, identity, and trusting God when your heart and healing aren't aligned. Let's talk about it: Have you and your spouse ever been on opposite sides of a big decision? Or had a love story that didn't make sense until later? Drop your story in the comments - we're listening. #marriagetalk #miscarriageawareness #relationshipjourney #loveafterloss #tryingagain #reallove #marriagepodcast #christianmarriage #healingtogether #whattheynevertoldus #secondchances #podcast #faithandrelationships Support the show
