Hey, everybody. Welcome. And thank you for listening to this episode of Marriage Therapy Radio. My name is Zach Brittle. And I am very excited to share this episode with you. We've never done anything like this before, where we have kind of a looking back at 2025, kind of greatest hits or highlights. I have been so privileged to talk to people this year about their relationship,

different couples from really all across the spectrum of marriage and just relationship journeys

that people are on. And I am grateful. I really am grateful. I was listening back to some of the

highlights and kind of was just in awe

I don't see people one-on-one. I publish mass market online programs and books. So I'm not sitting in a, I'm not sitting. I'm not a problem. Fixer, I'm an opportunity creator, a little bit different. And, but if I had a nickel, you know how you say, if I had a nickel for every time, right?

I know you have the I had a nickel scenarios.

One of my top ones is if I had a nickel for every time a person said, my parents never

talk to me about sex.

They never were intimate. They never. And I'm like, it wasn't really

their job. They did try, most likely, and you gave them the biggest side eye role possible,
