Making Marriage Easier (Feat. Arlene Pellicane)

Arlene Pellicane is a marriage advocate dedicated to helping couples build strong, joyful relationships. Through her books, podcasts, and speaking engagements, she challenges the narrative that marriage is inherently difficult, instead presenting it as a fulfilling and worthwhile commitment. Drawing from her own 26-year marriage, Arlene emphasizes that while some obstacles may emerge, they can be navigated successfully with the right mindset and dedication.

Arlene stresses the significance of truly knowing a partner before marriage, advocating for time, patience, and careful observation of character. She shares insights from her own love story, where friendship provided a solid foundation for a lasting marriage. Key factors such as conflict resolution, integrity, and family interactions help determine long-term compatibility, and she encourages individuals to seek guidance from trusted friends and family when making relationship decisions.
