This week on That Was Us…another favorite segment of the pod, Chat Was Us! This time, we’re talking about something at the heart of so many This Is Us stories: marriage, partnership, and what it means to build a life together. And for this conversation, Mandy, Sterling, and Chris have brought along their spouses! Together, the six of them get candid about love, commitment, compromise, and all the ways a marriage evolves over time.

In this episode, the conversation covers:

- How each couple knew they wanted to build a life together

- Whether marriage was always something they imagined for themselves

- The memories they each hold onto from their wedding days

- What they remember most about the first year of marriage

- The ingredients they believe make for a successful marriage

- How you navigate the fact that two people can change dramatically over the course of a marriage

- The role compromise plays in a healthy partnership

- How having children can change a marriage

- The importance of continuing to choose each other through different seasons of life

- And a few fun marriage superlatives along the way!
