On today's podcast, we explain our name. No, not Chris and Brandi, but the name of the podcast itself. We were pretty intentional about the name we chose because we both love clever wordplay, but when we dove in, we discovered just how relevant that name really is. What is a Prime Marriage? How does the word Prime play into what you should be aiming for in your marriage. Listen in and find out!

Would you like a do-over? Well, you aren't going to get one. However, today we write a letter to our 18-year-old selves and give that younger version of ourselves some advice. No, not like invest in bitcoin, but getting in on the ground level of that would have been sweet! We encourage our younger selves to be bolder, to look at life decisions with more care, and to not take for granted the experiences that life is handing us. It's a bit of an emotional episode, but that's okay. It's real! Webs...

There are many people that think as long as there aren't false words coming out of their mouths, they are being honest. If you've lived enough life and especially if you've been married for very long, you know this isn't the case. Half-truths and omissions are not honesty and are dangerous and damaging to trust. Let's talk about it! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095412946774 Contact us: primemarriagepod@gmail.com

Anyone who anyone will tell you that self-reflection is good. We all need to take a hard look at ourselves and make changes accordingly. However, sometimes the truest reflection you can see is the one you see from your spouse. They can show you a part of yourself that you weren't even aware was there: for the positive or negative. Let's dive in and discuss it! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095412946774 Contact us: primemarriagepod@gmail...

Today we have a solo episode. I know, very unexpected, right? For us too! Brandi has been pretty sick this week and wasn't able to record, so you get a whole lot of Chris. I am so sorry. Haha. This one is definitely catered to the gentlemen out there. I discuss insecurities, inadequacies, and inabilities to discuss both of those. Men already aren't the best communicators, but in trying to not look weak, we tend to hurt our relationships all the more. Join me for the discussion! Website: primema...

All right folks, we are "officially" hitting our 100th episode today. I can't believe we are at triple digits.

Okay, so I know we were supposed to be recording Episode 100, but we honestly did not have a spare moment to do it. We aren't being lazy, I promise! But not everyone has been around since the beginning, and we are constantly referencing episode 1, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to remind everyone about intentionality (and how bad the audio was in the beginning).

It's been a long time since we've taken a couple's quiz, so we take one on in this episode. We didn't do the whole thing, but we cherry picked a few that elicited some interesting and surprising answers. This was actually a lot of fun and we learned some new things about each other.
