What if the real secret to a lifelong, thriving marriage isn’t more date nights or spicy texts—but friendship? In this episode, we dig into why being best friends with your spouse might be the most underrated (and powerful) relationship strategy out there.

We’ll explore the research, unpack expert advice from names like Dr. John Gottman and Harvard’s Arthur Brooks, and share real-life insights on how friendship fuels connection, resilience, and long-term happiness. Plus, we reveal the daily habits that can either build—or break—the bond between you and your partner.

Whether your marriage feels solid or a little stale, this episode will help you rediscover the best-friend energy that brought you together in the first place.
