Within four days he decided to quit his job to pursue a higher calling. People called Kelly frantically thinking he was going to end his life, and within 24 hours they found themselves engaged. You don’t want to miss their full version of this.Lou and Kelly have certainly had their fair share of nontraditional milestones.

Between their immediate families, there are 13 divorces - not exactly a good model for a healthy marriage. Brad and Tami knew that they would need to look elsewhere to learn how to stay married - and now, they’re sharing their knowledge with others, both through a marriage counseling business and their new book, the first in a series of relationship advice books they plan to write. We discuss everything from tandem bicycles, personality quizzes, and the highs and low points in Brad and Tami’s relationship and marriage. You’ll even get to hear the best relationship advice they ever received - from complete strangers! Shownotes Blog Post: www.loveintently.com/blog/tandem-marriage-with-brad-and-tami-miller/2018/9/5

Shruthi and Hank had clear intentions when they met: a relationship with someone that could result in a lifelong partnership. They just didn’t know they wanted it with each other. For the duration of Shruthi’s college mission trip to India, they shared stories, puns and the occasional deep conversation. After getting to know one another without the pressure of trying to impress a possible partner, they realized an authentic connection beyond friendship. For a first generation Indian American and a native Texan, recognizing and overcoming cultural differences became necessary and eventually second nature in their beginnings as a couple. This first year built the foundation on which their perspective on healthy conflict and resolution was built.After four years of partnership, Shruthi and Hank tied the knot and immediately moved to London where they began their married life together. The Parkers share with Sophie how their devotion to communication, harmony, and one another led to the realization of the life they’d imagined before they even met.You can keep up with the Parkers at thehonestshruth.com or @TheHonestShruth on Instagram.www.loveintently.com/blog/shruthi-and-hank-thehonestsruth
