Kate and Eric MacDougall
The Evolved Marriage Podcast
Most couples don’t struggle because they don’t love each other. They struggle because no one taught them what to do when conflict, distance, and resentment show up. The Evolved Marriage Podcast, hosted by Eric and Kate MacDougall, helps committed couples rebuild trust, improve communication, and feel close again. Each episode shares practical tools to repair conflict, restore intimacy, and lead your marriage with clarity. No fluff. Just skills that work in real life.
