#23 - How to Keep Love Alive

Support our IVF/surrogacy journey 💕 - https://gofund.me/d40385123In this Meant 2 Be Podcast anniversary episode, we rewind to our wedding day (yes, the Andre 3000 aisle moment made the family think Marvin “wrote the song” 😭), relive the funniest + most emotional memories, and then get tactical about what actually keeps a marriage strong—when money’s tight, stress is loud, and real life hits.We talk about the hardest season of our marriage (job loss, grief, couch-surfing, and rebuilding), the best season (peace, stability, and finally exhaling), and the habits that helped us stay connected: communication, budgeting, intimacy, and boundaries.Subscribe now to the Meant 2 Be Podcast and join Marvin (⁠@marvin_martian10⁠) and Rachael (⁠@rosegold_rae⁠) as they explore the highs and lows of love, dating, and marriage.
