Episode description as stored

What does it actually take to build a marriage that lasts? In this special episode, Joe sits down with his wife Tara for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the 29 years of their relationship: how it started, what they got wrong, what they figured out, and the lessons only decades of shared life can teach. Together, they explore: The single want that mattered most: someone who would grow with them Tara's three non-negotiables before saying yes The moment they learned they couldn't change each other Why the person questioning the relationship is often having a "me" issue, not a "them" issue What it actually means to "get in your body" How love gets wired with guilt, criticism, or abuse The dynamic where one partner is "the better one" and one is "the problem" The pivot from litigating who's right to honoring each other's realities Aggressive vs. passive-aggressive anger as mirror images of the same shame Marriage (and kids) as the fastest way to peel the onion of identity What they'd do differently: bringing more consciousness to vision and creating the practices together Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
