Welcome to Episode 10 of The Ethan C. Lewin Podcast!
Today I’m joined by Shawn “Fish” Synnestvedt, longtime educator, coach, and husband of 45 years, who brings a deep faith-based perspective on building a happy, healthy, and deeply loving marriage. Shawn’s insights come from decades of experience and his powerful presentation “Through An Open Door: A Path to a Stronger Marriage” (New Church Life, Mar/Apr 2025).
This episode is a genuine conversation about marriage grounded in faith, character, and mutual love. Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married, Shawn and I dig into practical truths that help couples continuously improve their relationships at every stage!
This is a long one, but a good one.
