They say laughter is the best medicine—but in marriage, it’s also one of the strongest glues. In this episode of The Favorite Marriage, Monty and Jeannine explore how humor can strengthen your marriage, ease tension, and remind you not to take life—or each other—too seriously. From inside jokes to playful teasing, we’ll talk about the power of joy-filled moments and why couples who laugh together really do last together.

We’ll share some of our own laugh-out-loud stories from 30 years of marriage, unpack how humor can turn conflict into connection, and offer practical ways to bring more laughter into your relationship. Because at the end of the day, joy isn’t just a bonus in marriage—it’s essential.

Just 5 minutes. One meaningful perspective shift. A better, stronger marriage.

One of the biggest misconceptions about marriage is that once you’ve made it through the wedding day - you say your “I do’s,” ride off into the sunset, and the rest just magically falls into place. The truth? Nothing could be further from reality. In this week's 5-Minute Friday episode, Monty & Jeannine explore this misconception.

The wedding is a moment; marriage is a lifetime. Too often, couples spend more energy planning for that one day than they do preparing for the countless days that follow. But marriage isn’t sealed by a single “yes” at the altar—it’s sustained by the countless “yeses” you choose every single day. Each morning, you have the opportunity to recommit to your spouse—for better or worse, in the highs and the lows. That’s where the beauty of real love lives: in the daily choice to keep showing up, keep loving, and keep saying “I do,” over and over again.
