Have you ever wondered why some marriages seem to flourish while others seem to continually flounder? Do you have a desire to make your marriage stronger and more connected?

Research tells us that strong marriages have high levels of friendship and emotional connection at their foundation.  But how do we do this when we are trying to raise our kids, work full-time jobs, and manage all of our other responsibilities?

In this episode, I interview the dynamo couple, Tarsha and Stan Davis. They are focused on inspiring others to create strong marriages and feel “married alive” versus the ball-and-chain “buried alive” version. They challenge us to create not “good enough” marriages, but exceptional marriages!

What’s in the episode: 

  • Two important building blocks of a successful and happy marriage.
  • Why active listening and looking for perspective creates trust in relationships.
  • Understanding how our expectations can be honored.
  • Why we need to stop comparing our marriage to others.
  • Conversations make the biggest difference in getting to know your spouse’s character and creating emotional intimacy.

You haven’t reached the finish line just because you had a wedding day. That’s when the work begins.” Stan Davis

“We are husband and wife first. Parents second.” Tarsha Davis
