254. I'm Sorry (with Meika Harmon)

Our today's episode of the Growing In Marriage podcast we have a fantastic conversation with author and marriage advocate Meika Harmon about her brand-new book, I’m Sorry. DeAnna had to sit this one out (she wasn’t feeling her best), but that didn’t stop the good times from rolling (or the belly laughs) from filling the room. Meika opened up about her own marriage to Paul, the power of forgiveness, and why a sincere “I’m sorry” can change the entire trajectory of a relationship. This one will leave you encouraged, challenged, and smiling all the way through.

251. Without This, Your Marriage Will Never Feel Safe or Fun

What if the real reason your marriage feels distant isn’t a lack of love, but a lack of safety? In this episode, Rich and DeAnna unpack what emotional safety is—and what it isn’t—and show how it becomes the foundation not just for trust and vulnerability, but for laughter, playfulness, and joy. Through real coaching stories, their own marriage experiences, and a simple “safety audit” tool, you’ll learn how to create a marriage where both of you feel free to be fully yourselves—and where fun and intimacy can flourish again.
