Join Abe and Elaine as they dive into Gottman’s final principle for making marriage work: Shared Meaning. This episode explores what your marriage stands for ….beyond chores, communication, or conflict.

They’ll talk about how every couple needs to define the philosophy of their marriage:
• What do we value?
• What traditions matter to us?
• How do we see parenting, politics, faith, or family roles?
• What are the small daily rituals that make us “us”?

From tiny moments like Sunday morning routines to the big beliefs that guide your life, shared meaning is what turns a relationship into a legacy.

Tune in as Abe and Elaine unpack how couples can discover, define, and intentionally build their shared story…together.
