Most couples try to serve their spouse the way they want to be served.
That is the mistake.
In Part 2, we unpack what true service looks like, how ego and pride can get in the way, and why asking “What can I do for you?” changes everything. Serving is not weakness. It is strength expressed through love and intention.
When both people focus on giving, both people feel cared for.
That is the power of serving.

How We Met
Before the marriage, before the lessons, before the “goals”… there was a lavender pantsuit, a bold move at the office, and a first date at Chili’s.
In this episode, the Eagletons tell the real story of how they met. From first glances and exchanged business cards to late-night phone calls, gym dates, and a very memorable cheek kiss. It’s funny, honest, a little nostalgic, and proof that strong marriages don’t start with perfection. They start with conversation, intention, and showing up as your real self.
