We made it—Marriage IQ turns one! And what a year it’s been.

In this special anniversary episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on everything we’ve learned (and fumbled through) during our first year of podcasting together. From unexpected challenges to unforgettable wins, we’re getting real about what it takes to build a podcast—and a stronger marriage—one episode at a time.

• Expectation vs. Reality: The truth about starting a podcast—hidden costs, time commitments, and the steep learning curve of content creation and tech trouble.

• Top Episodes + Listener Insights: Curious which topics hit home? We’re sharing your favorite episodes and a peek at our audience’s age, location, and listening habits.

• Marriage Meets the Mic: How vulnerability, authenticity, and real-life storytelling became the heart of what we do—and why we chose a broader vision than just talking about sex.

• Behind-the-Scenes Bloopers: Tech fails, awkward edits, and the unscripted moments that made us laugh (and grow).

• How Podcasting Changed Our Marriage:

  • It exposed weak spots we didn’t know were there

  • Taught us new ways to collaborate

  • Brought us closer through the work of talking it out, on and off mic

• What’s Next: Our biggest lessons, our hopes for the future.

💛 Whether you’re a long-time listener or brand new to Marriage IQ, this episode is a celebration of connection, curiosity, and the courage it takes to keep growing—together.
