S2, E2: Every family has conflict. The question isn’t if you’re going to fight — it’s how you’re going to fight. Disagreement doesn’t have to create distance, and conflict doesn’t have to lead to division.

Episode #03: In this episode, we talk about what happens when marriage starts to feel more like a shared routine than a real relationship.

S1, E2: In this episode, Chris and Rae tackle a statement that might rattle some parents: kids are the result of marriage — not the point of it. What does that actually mean?
