What Your Therapist Wants You To Know About Marriage

In this special episode, Crystal interviews Josh and his wife Elizabeth on how to build a healthy marriage. We explore what it really took for them to create and sustain a relationship, not just in the good seasons, but through stress, conflict, loss, and change. Rather than focusing on perfection, the conversation centers on intentional connection, communication, and growth over time. They are honest about the challenges they endured and the mistakes they made early on. This episode emphasizes that strong marriages are not found, they are built intentionally through assigning positive intent, flexibility, commitment, and shared values. Growth comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and show up for one another, even when it's difficult and maybe even counterintuitive.
