We love talking about our marriages on and off the mics, and today we're at it again chatting about the day-to-day work of making our marriages great. Along the way we talk about having difficult conversations, how we dream and plan with our spouses, and what parenting has taught us about marriage. Plus why comedy specials can be great for your relationship and a detour into the marriage trope we reject.
Mentioned on the show:
Our previous episodes about marriage: Our Approach to Equity in Marriage, Best Spouse/Worst Spouse, Household Division of Labor, and Communication in Marriage
Erica's Cheater Pants Marg: 21 Seeds grapefruit hibiscus tequila topped with Fresca over a lot of ice. Add a lime wedge and a salt rim if desired.
