25 Years Later: What Marriage Really Taught Us (Ep 69 Audio)

Twenty-five years ago, we stood before our family and friends and said, “I do.” Looking back now, we realize we had no idea just how much life, growth, change, faith, and love those two words would require.

In Part 1 of our 25th anniversary conversation, we look back at who we were when we got married and ask a simple question: What would we tell those two young people today?

We talk candidly about the people we were at 24 and 26, the expectations we brought into marriage, the importance of family and community, and the village that has walked alongside us through the years. We also reflect on how much we've both changed—and what it means to continue choosing each other through every new version of ourselves.

After 25 years of marriage and 30 years together, one lesson stands above the rest: a lasting marriage isn't built on one decision made at the altar. It's built by making the decision to choose each other again and again.

This episode is about marriage, but it's also about faith, family, friendship, community, gratitude, and learning to appreciate the moments we're living before they become memories.

Whether you've been married 25 years, just getting started, or hope to build a lasting relationship someday, we hope you'll celebrate this milestone with us.

❤️ 25 years later... we'd still choose each other.
