In this episode, we explore how couples can build habits that make marriage easier—and even more joyful—for the long haul. Guest Arlene Pellicane, author, speaker, and host of The Happy Home Podcast, joins Alisa to share insights from her new book Making Marriage Easier: How to Love and Like Your Spouse for Life. Together, they unpack biblical wisdom, research-based habits, and personal stories from Arlene’s 26 years of marriage.
They discuss common misconceptions about marriage, the power of gratitude and hope, and the four key habits that strengthen every relationship. Arlene and Alisa also dive into handling grief and loss, how couples can reconnect through simple moments of fun, and the impact of technology on intimacy and attention.
