Epic Marriage is the podcast for couples of faith who want more than just "making it work." Hosts Nick and Alex Leyva tackle the conversations most couples avoid—betrayal recovery, faith transitions, physical connection, trust rebuilding, and rediscovering desire after years of marriage.
With 12 years of marriage, 5 kids, and training among top family scientists and marriage therapists, Nick and Alex bring real experience to real problems. No fluff, no surface-level advice—just the tools and insights you need to transform your eternal marriage.
Whether you're newlyweds figuring it out or longtime couples ready for something better, this show gives you permission to have the difficult conversations that lead to breakthrough. Because "for time and all eternity" should feel epic, not exhausting.
Hard seasons are not a sign your marriage is broken. They are the curriculum.
In this episode of the Epic Marriage Podcast, Nick and Alex Leyva close the season with the most honest life update they have ever shared. Baby number six arrives in August. Nick is releasing his first book, a 30-day plan that helps husbands lead through delivery and the first month of fatherhood. And the family is walking through what Nick calls a Red Sea moment, backed up to the water, praying for it to open.

The Real Reason Good Marriages Quietly Fall Apart
If your marriage looks fine on paper but feels quieter than it used to, this episode is for you. Good marriages rarely fall apart from one big betrayal. They quietly come undone from small patterns ignored long enough to compound, until couples find themselves fighting for a relationship they should have protected years earlier.
In this episode of the Epic Marriage Podcast, Dr. Brian Willoughby joins Nick and Alex Leyva to name what actually causes most marriages to drift, and what stops it. They cover the three buckets of marriage failure, the dating pyramid most couples build upside down, and the weekly habit that quietly holds long marriages together. Brian draws on 16 years at BYU's School of Family Life and decades of research on dating, commitment, and divorce prediction. He also covers the marriage premium most couples don't know about, the relational reframe of the sacrament, and the two questions every husband should be answering himself.

What Holds an Eternal Marriage Together
If your marriage looks fine on the outside but feels heavy underneath, this episode is for you. Author and mental health educator Ganel-Lyn Condie joins Nick and Alex Leyva for a conversation about what actually keeps an eternal marriage alive over decades, not days.
In this episode of the Epic Marriage Podcast, Ganel-Lyn shares the seasons of almost-divorce, the Portland Temple visit where 30 years of covenant making came alive in vision, and the line she texted her adult kids the moment it hit her: covenants keep you when you keep them.
She also reframes therapy as education, mental health support as part of how a husband provides, and the Abrahamic trial as a model for how marriage walks couples through their unhealed childhood wounds. Underneath it all, a conviction borrowed from Elder Brook P. Hales. Mortality works.
