  • There’s so much we can learn from the older (and wiser) generation of grandparents! Today we thought we’d tap into that wealth of knowledge by asking grandparents to send in their best life advice and sharing them on the podcast! It was so sweet to read advice from people who have already gone through the season we’re in now and we were reminded of what’s most important in life. We hope this episode makes you happy like it did for us 🙂

    Love you guys!

  • Today, we had the pleasure of sitting down with relationship expert, wife and mom of two- Dr. Morgan Cutlip to chat about managing the mental load in marriage for more joy, less resentment, and deeper intimacy. All topics she covers in depth in her new book, A Better Share! This conversation was both eye-opening and encouraging. We gained valuable insights on recognizing unhealthy patterns in how we carry our mental loads, how to prevent the resentment from creeping into your marriage and how to keep your marriage playful and fun despite how long it’s been! Let us know your thoughts in the comments 🙂

  • Today we tackled the countercultural topic that marriage isn’t just about your happiness. Oof, we know this one is a tough pill to swallow for a lot of people but in a world telling us to only pursue what makes us feel happy in the moment, we felt this episode was an important reminder that when it comes to your commitment to marriage, it’s always worth pursuing. We hope that whether you’re engaged, newlyweds, or have been married for a long time you find hope in this episode, knowing that marriage is a beautiful gift and wonderful tool for character refinement, compromise and selflessness- sometimes more than we’d prefer ;) Love you guys!Shawn & Andrew Check out SKIMS best intimates including the Fits Everybody Collection and more at https://www.skims.com/couplethings #skimspartnerBeam Kids is now available online at https://www.shopbeam.com/COUPLETHINGS Take advantage of our exclusive discount of up to 40% off using code COUPLETHINGSFollow our podcast Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/shawnandandrewpods/Subscribe to our newsletter ▶ https://www.familymade.com/newsletterFollow My Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/ShawnJohnsonFollow My Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@shawnjohnsonShop My LTK Page ▶ https://www.shopltk.com/explore/shawnjohnson Like the Facebook page! ▶ https://www.facebook.com/ShawnJohnsonFollow Andrew’s Instagram ▶ https://www.instagram.com/AndrewDEastAndrew’s Tik Tok ▶ https://www.tiktok.com/@andrewdeast?lang=en#Marriage #Happiness #Refinement #Relationships #ShawnandAndrewPods(00:00) - our biggest fight ever (02:12) - life updates (04:18) - why we are doing this and how we disagree (12:30) - “the point isn’t the “happiness”, it’s about support”(18:56) - viewing emotions (andrew's pov)(24:00) - being fully known and loved (28:17) - do you run away if there is no happiness?

  • Today we made a new friend we know you’re going to love. Jessica N. Turner is a mom, content creator, blogging veteran, Wall Street Journal Bestseller, award-winning marketing professional, public speaker…you get the idea- she’s amazing! Jessica’s story is anything but ordinary and so is her optimism and perspective on how to get back on your feet. Her new book “I thought it would be better than this” touches on her story of losing her 16-year marriage when her husband came out as gay and how this life-shattering moment gave her the grit and determination to pick up the pieces and choose hope to build a beautiful next chapter. Whether you’ve faced disappointment in dating, at work, in marriage or anywhere else in your life (as we all have) this episode is for you!

  • Today we sat down with critically acclaimed singer songwriter and breakout Country music star, Adam Doleac and his wife and number one supporter, MacKinnon Doleac! We became fast friends with this couple and loved chatting with them so much. Adam opened up about the inspiration behind his latest song “Bar Named Jesus” with Thomas Rhett and talked about how his own marriage often influences his music. Mackinnon shares her perspective on the ups and downs of being a wife and mom while being married to a country star. This couple was so relatable, genuine & fun and the conversation felt the same way :)

  • In today’s episode we dug into the topic of “success” and what that means to both of us these days. This was a pretty deep one! It was cool to reflect on how our views of success have changed over time and talk about how we don’t usually agree with how the world defines “success.” We would love to hear your thoughts on this one so please let us know in the comments if you resonated with this one! We also share some books that have helped us with this topic—check out the links below.

  • In today’s episode we made a list of things we wish we could tell ourselves as newlyweds. It was so fun to reminisce on the “honeymoon phase” after we got married and think of all the ways we’ve grown individually and as a couple since then. We hope this episode encourages you in whatever stage of marriage you’re currently in and to our single friends out there, don’t settle! Marriage is such a gift when it’s with the right person and that person is worth the wait :)

  • Welcome back to Couple Things! Let’s just say in today’s episode Andrew had a field day because we dove into something he’s extremely passionate about and that’s psychology! Better yet, we dove into how different psychological principles apply to marriage and how they can improve your relationship and strengthen your bond. I know this may sound fancy, but they’re actually pretty simple ideas and it was so interesting to understand a bit more about how our brains are wired. We talked about attachment styles, gratitude, confirmation bias and more! We hope you learn something new in this episode because we definitely did!

  • Today’s conversation was such a meaningful one, wow we loved this couple. Rebecca St. James has won countless Grammy and Dove awards, is an accomplished actress and the author of more than a dozen books. You probably recognize her husband, Cubbie Fink, as a founding member of the multi-platinum Grammy-nominated band Foster the People. While they’ve both experienced high success, one of the coolest things about them is that they’ve been so open about the hard seasons they've walked through together and it’s helped so many people. In their new book, they open up about their journey with infertility, childhood trauma, depression, processing emotions, career, parenting and more. Honestly anyone can learn something from their story, they’re amazing. We hope if you’re going through a hard season, after listening to this episode you feel encouraged to keep going.  
    We love you!
    Shawn & Andrew

  • Have you ever wondered how early is too early to start teaching your kids some responsibilities around the house? We have and that’s why we absolutely loved this conversation about teaching our kids how to clean up in a fun and helpful way with the world-renowned experts themselves, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin from “The Home Edit!” Clea and Joanna recently released their newest children’s book “The Rainbow Cleanup” to show kids that cleaning can be fun! Now, as the hosts of “Extreme Makeover Home Edition,” Clea and Joanna are helping kids and adults alike stay organized and live a more simplistic, peaceful life! Parents out there- definitely give this one a listen :)

    Love you guys!
