From Teen Dating to Family and Business: Kristie and Wylie’s Story

What does it really take to keep a high school romance thriving over 22 years while raising a family, building careers, and navigating life’s twists together? This week on The Anniversary Podcast, Mary sits down with Kristie and Wylie to talk about growing together, staying flexible, and choosing each other every single day. From a first meeting at the scone cutter, navigating early dating drama, and setting goals for the future, to running businesses, raising kids, and creating humor-filled “judgment zones,” their story is full of honest, grounded, and practical insight about real partnership. This episode is for anyone who wants a deeper look at communication, commitment, flexibility, and the little (and big) things that make a marriage last. Kristie and Wylie also share what love has taught them about trust, humor, supporting each other’s growth, and why staying a team matters more than ever.
