412. What Healthy Marriage Looks Like - The Pillars That Should Just Be "Normal" In A Marriage

In this episode, Nick and Amy discuss the things that should just be "normal" in a healthy marriage. That doesn't mean we are all doing them, but we should be! Whether your relationship is thriving or you feel like roommates just trying to survive, this conversation will help you understand what strong couples do differently, and how to apply it in your own marriage starting today.

Nick & Amy break down the pillars that every healthy marriage needs in their opinion:

• Open, Judgment-Free Communication — how to talk about anything without fear, shutdowns, or defensiveness
• Teamwork Over Competition — shifting from “me vs. you” to “us vs. the problem”
• Respect in Public and in Private — because tone and words can build love or burn it down
• Emotional & Physical Affection — the fuel that keeps intimacy alive (far beyond routine)
• Shared Responsibilities — creating fairness, partnership, and connection at home
• Personal Space & Identity — why your marriage thrives when you remain whole as individuals
• Clear, Healthy Boundaries — protecting trust and creating emotional safety
• Appreciation & Gratitude — the tiny daily habits that keep love from growing cold.

If you’re ready to build a marriage that feels safe, passionate, playful, respectful, and deeply connected, this episode is for you.
