This week on The Beyond I Do Podcast, we had the absolute pleasure of hanging out once again with two of our favorite people—Marquis and Taylor from the U Stuck Wit Me podcast. To us, they’re like the little brother and sister we never knew we needed, and once you hear their story, you’ll totally get why. Their relationship is built on fun, honesty, music, and above all—real friendship. It's a beautiful reminder of what it takes to build a marriage that lasts.
When You Know, You Know
We kicked things off with a fun one: we asked them to pick a song that reflects their current relationship vibe. Of course, their picks were playful and full of personality, which is just so them. But beneath the laughter, we dove into something deeper—how they knew they’d found "the one."
Marquis shared a quiet but powerful moment early on, when Taylor stayed by his side during a late-night hospital visit. For Taylor, it was the way Marquis instantly stepped up during her mom’s health battle. Those moments were game-changers—acts of love, vulnerability, and genuine commitment that said everything without needing to say a word.
Growing Together
Nearly three years into marriage, they’ve both changed in meaningful ways. Taylor talked about how Marquis has started stepping outside his comfort zone—trying new foods and embracing new adventures. Marquis noted how Taylor’s shyness has melted away, making room for even deeper communication between them.
Their willingness to grow individually has only strengthened their relationship. Honestly, their story mirrors so much of our own journey—real love thrives when both people keep evolving.
Making Time Count
Between work, life, and podcasting, carving out quality time takes intention. Taylor opened up about how hard it can be when it feels like you’re constantly sharing your partner with everything else. That really hit home.
Their solution? Impromptu escapes and unplugged moments just for the two of them. Marquis made it clear: uninterrupted time together is essential. And we couldn’t agree more.
Friendship First
At the center of it all is their friendship—it’s the heartbeat of their marriage. Whether they’re roasting each other during Madden matches or bonding over shared hobbies, they make space for joy. Their playful connection keeps things light, even when life gets heavy.
Notes to Their Younger Selves
When asked what they’d tell their younger selves, Taylor shared something powerful: Don’t let other people’s broken relationships define what’s possible in your own.
Marquis chimed in with this gem—being with the right person unlocks a version of you that’s better than you imagined.
That kind of wisdom only comes from living it.
What’s Ahead
Even after navigating some tough health challenges early on, they’re hopeful and excited about the road ahead. From long-overdue adventures to simply enjoying the peace they’ve earned, their outlook is inspiring.
Marquis and Taylor remind us that friendship is more than a bonus in marriage—it’s the foundation. If you haven’t checked out their show yet, do yourself a favor and give U Stuck Wit Me a listen. Their laughter, love, and authenticity just might shift your perspective on what a marriage can be.
