Banter & Bliss

About Banter & Bliss

We are the Sutters and we are married.  We love to share about how banter is a key tool we use to be really serious about marriage, but not too much.  As parents to 4 kids, after 10 years of marriage, we've learned a lot about communication and love, but certainly not everything.  We are hoping to encourage and uplift those around us and share a little about our lives and faith along the way. Each week we go on a weekly date, and each episode we will talk about this week's date, how we spoke each other's love languages, some marriage hacks, and more.  It's great to meet you, and please subscribe! Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
