In this episode of Lovers, Jared and I sit down on vacation for a conversation we’ve never had this honestly before.
This is our seventh year of marriage, the year people warn you about. The year of the “seven-year itch.” And while we’ve built a life together, kids, history, love, this was the first year I really sat with a truth that surprised even me.
For a long time, I wasn’t fully certain we would stay married forever.
In this conversation, we talk about what it actually feels like to be years into a relationship, how having children changes the dynamic between partners, and why even strong marriages go through seasons of doubt, distance, and recalibration.
We share the fears we had going into year seven, the honest ways our relationship has been tested, and what ultimately shifted for me to say, fully and consciously, that this is the person I’m choosing for life.
This episode isn’t about perfect love. It’s about commitment, growth, and what it really takes to stay.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your relationship can survive the hard seasons, or questioned what long-term love is supposed to feel like, this conversation is for you.

| 0:23.0 | They use their food scraps as compost, |
| 0:29.0 | or as animal feed, or in weird soups, all the stuff we did before garbage was invented. |

| 0:39.7 | Most food goes in the trash because it's easy, |
| 0:45.1 | and these days we'll take any easy we can get. But now there's something easier. |
| 0:53.4 | Drop your scraps in a mill food recycler. It looks like a kitchen bin and an iPhone had a baby. It takes nearly anything, even meat and bones. |

| 1:06.9 | Use them in your garden, pour them in your green bin, or have mill get them to a small farm, |
| 1:12.5 | so the food you don't eat can help grow the food you do, just like it should be. |
