Meet Byron
Byron McKie is a relationship mentor, podcast host, lyricist, and creative soul who believes that the best marriages are built like the best songs—honest, intentional, and full of rhythm.
He brings energy, humor, and heartfelt insight to every stage and mic he steps on. Byron’s the husband who still opens car doors, the dad who builds porch swings with his daughter, and the guy who can fix anything—from cars to communication breakdowns.
Through Beyond I Do and speaking events, Byron encourages couples—especially men—to lead with love, show up fully, and build marriages grounded in real friendship.
Meet Margaret
Margaret McKie is a relationship coach, educator, author, and host of the Beyond I Do Podcast. With over 27 years of marriage under her belt, Margaret shares hard-won wisdom with couples who want more than just “staying together”—they want real friendship, deep respect, and true connection.
As a former school founder and teacher, Margaret brings structure and clarity to every conversation. She combines logic with heart, offering practical tools that help couples reconnect and communicate better.
Margaret speaks openly about overcoming self-doubt, breaking generational patterns, and redefining what success in marriage truly means. Her mission is to help couples build marriages they like living in—not just love talking about.
