Ep. 12: Still Courting Her (Even When Everything Is On Fire)
31 days before the wedding, chaos at work, kids starting school, and we're barely holding hands. So we talked about it. Here's what we learned about staying connected when life is on fire, the power of small moments, family boundaries, and why you can't pick and choose who you show up for.

We Graded Our Own Advice
We graded our own advice. All of it. Over the past 9 episodes, James and Bethanie have thrown a lot of relationship wisdom into the world — never stop courting, energy matching, protecting your peace, communicating when you're both upset, the "palm trees" code. But how well do they actually stick...

Blending Two Families & Five Kids Under One Roof | Ep. 9
This one starts mid-argument — because James left the recorder running. ("That tone says otherwise." "I did not have a tone.") By the time Bethanie realizes what's happening, they're already into it. Episode 9 is about the thing that's honestly harder than merging bank accounts (which, for the...

The Pokémon Go Saga | Ep. 7
After teasing it for episodes, the Pokémon Go saga finally lands. Episode 7 is the lighter one — James and Bethanie get into the screen-time tug-of-war, the "cave" dynamic when one of you disappears into a game or a phone, and what it really costs when you're busy capturing the moment instead of...

Gaslighting, Narcissism & the People Who Use Both | Ep. 6
James pulled the actual definitions this time. (Bethanie says "Go to the Google" — he used AI instead.) Episode 6 is the conversation they've been promising since Episode 5: gaslighting and narcissism, why those two go hand in hand, and what it looks like when you've lived through it. Bethanie's...

Protecting Your Peace (Without Shutting Them Out) | Ep. 5
The episode about what happens when the silence gets loud. Episode 5 is the conversation about emotional distance — the radio silence, the shutting down, and how you protect your peace without shutting your partner out. James and Bethanie get into business burnout bleeding into the relationship,...

We Can’t Both Be a Furnace | Ep. 4
Welcome to the most relatable episode yet. James and Bethanie come in with a clear topic — how to communicate when you're both mad — and somehow also end up debating ice cream flavors, what happens to utensils left unattended near a sink, and the eternal question: why will she never just pick a...

When Life Won’t Slow Down | Ep. 3
James came home this week, looked through the window at Bethanie on a work call from her truck, and fell in love with her all over again. That's the energy of Episode 3.

Manosphere, Marriage, and What Actually Works | Ep. 2 - Better Together (Most Days)
We sat down to watch Louis Theroux's manosphere documentary and made it about 15 minutes before Bethanie was too angry to keep going. So we hit pause and turned on the mic instead. This is what came out — a real conversation about what passes for masculinity online, and what actually holds a...

Welcome to Better Together (Most Days) | Ep. 1
Yeah, it took us four tries to record this. iPhone update ate a whole episode. Bethanie called James a fat head. We're just gonna start there. In our actual first episode, we get into the five types of couples (turns out the internet has thoughts on this, and so do we), the wisdom of an old man…
