Episode Details

What does it actually take to build a marriage that thrives? Lee Baucom has spent 30 years answering that question for thousands of couples, and he's been testing his answers inside his own 38-year marriage the whole time.

Lee is a PhD, marriage coach, author of seven books, and host of the Save The Marriage Podcast and Thriveology Podcast. In this episode he breaks down the Pause Button Marriage, the three levels of connection every relationship needs, and what it genuinely looks like to move from surviving to thriving as a couple.

He also shares the question his wife Kathy stopped him mid-argument with. Short, direct, and worth stealing.
