131: How to be a Power Couple with Melanie Studley

by | Apr 21, 2023 | General Posts, Podcast

When you hear the term, Power Couple, what comes to mind? To me I think about a couple that is dedicated to each other and committed to building a marriage in which they know they can tackle every challenge that comes their way. 

My guest today is Melanie Studley. She’s been on our podcast before (check out the episode we did last year on how to talk dirty without feeling dirty or awkward). I admire how she’s taken growth and development in her marriage so seriously. I’m inspired by her – considering how dysfunctional things were between her and her husband, and where they are now, it’s like saying, “If THEY can make it, so can I.”

Several things stuck out to me in this episode. Melanie emphasizes the need for systems and processes, the importance of giving both people in the marriage partnership their voice, recording your wins and struggles, and the value of consistency and persistence.
