In this episode of The Beyond I Do Podcast, Byron and Margaret sit down with Jason and Christie McMullen — married 26 years, together 28, and marriage mentors to over 100 couples through Harborside Christian Church in Safety Harbor, Florida.
They're not therapists. They're not gurus. They're a real couple who have done the work and are committed to helping other marriages succeed, and in this conversation, they bring it all.
What you'll learn in this episode:
The gym analogy that explains why most marriages stall out
Two communication tools: "clear as kind" and "the story I'm telling myself."
Why men are waffles and women are spaghetti — and what to do about it
The golf vs. tennis conversation framework
How to maintain real intimacy when life is busy and exhausting
The 10pm rule that stops fights before they start
What "friends of your marriage" are — and how to find them
Whether you're newlyweds or 25 years in, this conversation will give you tools you can use tonight.
