In this episode, Nick and Amy talk about a fantastic article written by 80/80 Marriage called "These Outsiders Can Make Marriage Impossible". In marriage, its you and your spouse, the two of you. Then there are your "Thirds".... The "Thirds" are any out side force that influences your marriage. It could be a friend, co-worker, business partner, family member, or even a project or business that takes a lot of your time or has an influence on your marriage.

Most couples probably have a "third" impacting their marriage in some way... or have at least have experienced it in their marriage, and it is something that can have a severe impact on your marriage just as it did for Nick and Amy. Nick and Amy share parts of the article by 80/80 Marriage and things that you can do in your marriage to identify the "thirds" and steps you can take to remove them from your marriage and built a stronger barrier.
