In this episode of the Ultimate Intimacy Podcast, we take a fun and honest look at the unexpected side of marriage and the things no one really prepares you for. From those moments when Nick asks, “What’s wrong, sweetie?” and Amy answers, “Nothing”… which somehow means something 😉 to Amy realizing just how much patience marriage would require, especially with Nick during those first 15 years.

We also take turns telling why and how we each came up with three things that were total shockers to us about marriage!

From finally realizing why marriage needs to come before the kids, to Nick admitting that he misses how affectionate and "all over him" Amy was before kids—anyone else relate to that one?

This episode is lighthearted, real, and full of moments every spouse can relate to. Whether you have been married for many years or are just starting out, you will find yourself laughing, nodding, and probably saying, “Yep, that is us!”
