Ep 410 Make a Better You, Make a Better Marriage with Meygan and Casey Caston

Zach sits down with Casey and Meygan Caston, founders of Marriage365, to talk about how a marriage that nearly collapsed in year three became the foundation for a global relationship resource.

Both Casey and Meygan grew up surrounded by divorce, affairs, and unresolved conflict. Determined not to repeat their parents’ patterns, they entered marriage with optimism—but no tools. By year three, resentment, blame, and emotional shutdown had taken over, and Meygan found herself convinced she had made the biggest mistake of her life.

What changed everything wasn’t mutual effort at first—it was personal responsibility. After starting therapy alone, Meygan learned boundaries, emotional regulation, and how to take ownership of her part of the dance. Thirteen months later, her changed posture toward conflict forced a shift in the relationship dynamic, and Casey began doing his own work.

Together, they share how changing one partner changes the entire system; why marriage is not about solo dancing; and how resentment—not communication—is usually the real problem couples face. Zach weaves in his own frameworks around adulthood, repair, and the “dance” of relationship, while Casey and Meygan offer practical insight from years of coaching couples in crisis.

The conversation also explores forgiveness, curiosity, intentional choice, cultural myths about love, and why healthy marriages are built through habits—not hope.

Key Takeaways

• You’re not stuck – Changing yourself changes the relationship system.

• Marriage is a team sport – Two people dancing separately isn’t partnership.

• Resentment breaks communication – Most “communication problems” are really unresolved hurt.

• Repair requires ownership – A real apology validates pain and invites rebuilding trust.

• Acceptance matters – Forgiveness doesn’t have to be instant, but honesty does.

• Curiosity beats defensiveness – Looking inward is the first step toward growth.

• Feelings fluctuate; choices endure – Love is sustained through intentional action.

• Differences aren’t the enemy – Harmony comes from resolving dissonance, not eliminating it.
