148. Squirrels, Hemorrhoids, and Other Marriage Glue (Chapter 27) | The 200% Marriage Podcast

"The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot." — Michael Altshuler

When we talk to marriedpreneurs and high-capacity couples about getting intentional and having more fun in their marriage, we hear the exact same excuse on repeat: "Craig, Meredith, I just don't have enough time. Between the business, the kids, and the household logistics, I barely have time to go to the bathroom."

Let’s run a quick Scoreboard Audit on that: If you’re looking to find time, you’ll never get it. That’s not how time works. You have to CREATE time.

In this briefing, Craig takes the mic to read Part 5, Chapter 27: Squirrels, Hemorrhoids, and Other Marriage Glue. We’re completely dismantling the myth that connecting requires a 4-hour, $500 date night and showing you how bite-sized chunks of daily laughter, un-boring inside jokes, and LeBron James-level celebrations are the ultimate relationship superglue.

Inside this Strategic Briefing for Your Team:

The 4-Word Reality Check: Why telling your kid (or your spouse) "I don't have time" actually means "You're not my priority"—and how taking 100% responsibility changes your entire schedule.

Bite-Sized Connection: How 5-minute daily reps—like grabbing your teammate by the hips for a kitchen dance or hiding a cardboard craft—keep you out of Roommate-ville.

33 Unfiltered MacKay-isms: A hilarious, zero-context deep-dive into the weird, brilliant things Meredith says on the DL (including elevators with chickens, crows being forest bullies, and being hemorrhoid-free since 2023).

The LeBron James Playbook: Why the greatest basketball player on Earth has a personalized, unique secret handshake for every single teammate—and why your marriage needs its own go-to celebratory move.

Creating Your Marriage Handshake: How to build a custom celebratory rep for when one of you crushes a work project, wins game night, or tags-team dinner to create "us" time.

The Play: Stop waiting for a 2-week vacation to start enjoying your marriage. Get intentional in the "fundane" 95% of daily life, run your own race, and build an Unstoppable Team.

Don’t you dare settle for fine. 🏔️🚀
