It’s Chalene and Bret’s 30th wedding anniversary, and today, Chalene Johnson is reflecting on what has made their marriage last (and get even better with time). From early struggles with communication to learning how to truly appreciate each other’s quirks, she shares raw, real insights into what makes a relationship stand the test of time. Plus, she talks about why emotional growth, mutual respect, and even those “implosion” moments are key to deepening your bond. And, of course, there’s some fun talk about Love Is Blind, overpacking for trips, and a surprising twist on fostering their beloved pup, Penelope. Tune in for marriage wisdom, laughs, and a whole lot of heart! ❤️

0:00.0 | Today is our 30th wedding anniversary, March 18th, the day that I'm recording this. |
0:07.0 | And it's crazy to me to think that we, it's just weird thinking back on what I was thinking about my husband and what I thought our futures would look like when we walked down the aisle 30 years ago. |
0:21.5 | You can't be sure we were watching Love is Blind. |
0:24.9 | I don't know if you guys have watched that show like this season's Love is Blind |
0:28.7 | with the people from Minneapolis or Minnesota, wherever, is so Midwest. |
0:34.4 | I can't even tell you. |
0:35.5 | Oh. |
0:36.8 | And I can say that because I'm a Midwest girl at heart. |
0:39.5 | But it's bad, it's so bad, and it's so good that you have to watch it. |
0:44.5 | But when you get to the part where they're walking down the aisle, you can pretty much skip, unless you like to predict it, unless you're like, okay, we need to be entertained. |
0:51.0 | Because now it's all done, right? So you can binge the whole thing. |

1:04.4 | I do think The Love is Blind reality show is one of the reality shows where, like, I can just never remember people's names. I remember |
1:12.7 | what they look like, but I just do not remember their names. It's a good watch. But we were talking |
1:17.5 | about how they know each other for, I don't know, like two weeks before they walked down the aisle. |
1:23.0 | Maybe it's longer than that, but it's not long. And they're like, I've just never been so sure of something in my |
1:29.3 | life. I'm just, I've never felt this way about someone and it's real. Like when they're saying |
1:36.3 | that, it's deep. And part of the reason why is because the premise of the show puts them in |
1:43.3 | rooms that are connected by one wall and they can't see each other. |
1:47.2 | So they're forced to have very deep conversations, which ultimately results in understanding each |
1:54.5 | others values and morals and what's important and their emotions. |
