Are you in a relationship that feels incredible but worried marriage might change things? Or maybe you’re already married and questioning whether it’s worth it. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the value of marriage. What it brings to our lives and why it’s worth considering in today’s world.

With marriage rates dropping significantly—from 92% of women marrying in 1920 to just 31% today—it’s clear that marriage is no longer an automatic choice for many. Changing roles, independence, and the option to have children without marriage all bring up the question: Why choose marriage?

As a couples coach with over 30 years of experience in marriage, I’m sharing some insights into why this commitment still holds profound value today.

Marriage is about more than companionship; it’s a vow that pushes us to love deeply, stay through the hard times, and grow in self-awareness. Imagine a relationship where both people are committed to facing the tough parts of life together, without running away. Yes, it’s challenging, but it’s a journey that builds character, resilience, and true, lasting love.

In this episode, I’ll share personal stories from my own marriage journey—how facing our problems together strengthened our bond. I’ll also discuss the role of honest communication, why this is crucial from the start.
