Is marriage outdated—or are couples just doing it wrong?

With marriage rates at an all-time low and a growing number of young adults saying marriage is “obsolete,” Matthew and Monica Powers dive into the uncomfortable truths nobody wants to talk about. From phone addiction and emotional distance to sexless marriages and unrealistic expectations, this episode pulls back the curtain on why so many couples feel disconnected and what actually works.

In this honest, funny, and unfiltered conversation, we talk about:

• Why New Year’s resolutions fail couples every year
• How phones are killing intimacy (and what to do instead)
• The power of gratitude, vulnerability, and letting the small stuff go
• Why most couples aren’t having enough sex and how to fix it
• How experimenting within healthy boundaries can reignite desire
• Why marriage isn’t outdated, but lazy marriage is

This isn’t marriage advice wrapped in clichés. It’s real talk for real couples who want more connection, more fun, and a marriage that actually feels alive.

If you’re tired of surviving marriage and ready to enjoy it again, this episode is for you.

If marriage is so outdated… why do the healthiest couples still fight to protect it?
