About this episode

Caroline and John debunk common marriage myths and share insights from their 20 years of marriage.

In this “Marriage MythBusters” episode, Caroline and her husband, John, bust common marriage myths and share research-backed facts. They argue the “50% divorce rate” claim is outdated, say it’s okay to go to bed angry because sleep helps emotions cool, and explain that having kids often lowers marital satisfaction at first rather than fixing a relationship. They discuss how affairs are often a symptom of growing apart, why conflict isn’t a red flag if couples fight respectfully and with good timing, and why the “one soulmate” idea can reduce effort in tough moments. They add that long-term success depends more on shared values than pure “opposites attract,” question cohabitation as a “test drive” without commitment, warn against cruel radical honesty and damaging secrets, and reject keeping score by insisting marriage is 100/100. Tune in to hear their take after 20 years of marriage on some lessons they learned themselves. 🎵Music Credit Nikka Costa – “It’s Just Love” @NikkasBox 🎬Produced By Dear Media @DearMediaStudio Follow Caroline: Podcast: https://being-caroline.com/podcast/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/shop.with.caroline/ TikTok…
