We're all looking for a deep connection in life, and once we've found it, it can be tempting to get comfortable. And sure, there's nothing wrong with getting into the swing of things, but it's also important to keep it interesting—maybe listening to a marriage podcast together could be just what you need.
Fortunately, there are tons of relationship podcasts to choose from—and as a relationships writer and podcast host myself, I feel pretty qualified to give you my own recommendations. Whether you're looking to spice things up, looking for podcasts for struggling marriages, wanting to continue to learn new ways to connect with your lover, looking to rebuild or you're just looking for something new to do together, here's the best marriage podcast options (in my opinion) below.
Where Should We Begin? With Esther Perel
Have you ever been in a couples therapy session? That is what listening to Where Should We Begin? feels like. The host, Esther Perel, is a renowned author and therapist specializing in helping couples navigate difficult times, bringing marriages to a stronger place and helping folks move through the most challenging of times. At first listen, you'll feel like a fly on the wall, as other couples expose their true desires and fears, and you might even relate, and find help in Perel's advice. If you and your spouse are looking for a marriage counseling podcast that is emotional, sometimes heart wrenching and most of all, finds hope in the dark, this one's for you.
