Made With Love: The Messy Marriage Podcast With Jon & Megan

Being the first of your peers to get married comes with its own set of challenges. In this episode of Made With Love: A Messy Marriage Podcast, Jon and Megan dive into a topic that's still a bit touchy fifteen years later. How do you find the balance between friends and the marriage relationship? Jon shares a lesson learned in diplomacy, and Megan wonders why they don't have any "couple" friends. This week's free mini-lesson on country life includes first-hand experience of Christmas tree farming, and takes a look at the anthropological realities of navigating a society of twenty-something guys.  The "level up your marriage" challenge this week is for you and your spouse to put a date on the calendar to check in with a trusted third party on how you're doing with the friend/spouse balance. Anyone brave enough to ask your spouse directly?

A story of engagement, moonlight, hay bales and one genuinely terrible movie. In the premiere episode of Made With Love: A Messy Marriage Podcast, Jon and Megan share the events of the day they got engaged -- and what they think about it as they look back fifteen years later.  Includes a free mini-lesson on country life and what "bucking hay" means, a review of a summer flop-buster from 2001, and a warning about hiding diamond rings in lunchboxes. The "level up your marriage" challenge this week is for you and your spouse to write down your own engagement story and then exchange each version and read it during date night. Any surprises?
