Communication, Expectations, & Life in the Trenches | Jeremy Guichet | Episode 410

About this episode

Blake and her husband Jeremy discuss their 15 years of marriage, focusing on communication struggles and unmet expectations.

In this episode, I sat down with my husband Jeremy to talk about 15 years of marriage, the early struggles, the growth, and how we got to where we are today. Because what you see now? It didn't always exist. And that's kind of the whole point. We laughed, we got vulnerable, and we talked about the stuff a lot of couples deal with but don't always say out loud, especially in those early years. Whether you're newly married, in the thick of parenting, or feeling stuck in communication patterns, I hope this episode reminds you that strong marriages are built, not found.
