This podcast was recommended by a therapist. I started listening to different episodes that spoke to me. Although, I’m not a deeply religious person I still feel you can get something out of listening to their sound and well thought conversations. My partner and I may not make it through this...Read full review »

My name is Isaac I am the one who had an affair on my wife and I didn’t even know how bad I was hurting her until I listened to multiple podcasts but most of all yours!

Caleb & Verlynda have become like close friends for me. I am grateful to this candid, optimistic and caring husband and wife for their edifying Christian perspectives. Learning from their knowledge, research, and experience turns my commute into a spiritual journey and each day I arrive to...Read full review »

My husband and I recently hit a rough patch and this podcast has been such a blessing! A married friend couple recommended OYF to us and expressed that it has been very helpful in their relationship. We listen to episodes on our own then reflect on them together to compare take aways. We are...Read full review »

I love the research, banter, and spiritual wisdom this couple brings to the table! I used to listen to this podcast everyday on my commute and loved it! I hope they’ll make new episodes soon :)

I’ve been enjoying listening to this podcast until today. He is so knowledgeable and his voice is also pleasant. However, his wife’s laughing sound is extremely loud and distracting so I had to turn the volume down almost every episodes.
Myiphoneworksfine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/21
What is being said is helpful, buuutttt I can not stand to listen to this podcast because of the wife frequently saying “alright, ok, k, ya, ohhh, mhm, yup” like just be quiet or say a sentence. 😩 So annoying and distracting.
christiandrummer1297! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/21
Good info, but I get the feeling verlynda is playing dumb so that she can make Caleb feel smart. (A lot of us women learned this behavior growing up). The power dynamics feel so unequal, like she’s a kid who’s bad at school and he’s trying to teach her math and bemused at how naive confused she...Read full review »

I love the banter between the two of you. You are modeling teamwork, forgiveness, vulnerability and so many other valuable lessons just in observing your dialouge. I love the research based aspect of the content. It becomes not just an opinion of one but something larger and it becomes harder...Read full review »

This podcast is a real blessing. We just signed up for and finished the first lesson of the first module of the communication course as well. My husband and I listen to several episodes daily.

I stumbled across your podcast several months ago and have enjoyed it so very much! My husband and I have hit some really hard times, and along with counseling, we have used your podcasts (and support resources) as tools for learning, practicing new skills, and improving our intimacy THROUGH the...Read full review »

Just found this podcast and going through a hard time in my marriage, and it gives me a lot of hope and tools and perspective I never really had before. Thank you
demariem via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/20
It may sound pretentious, but this really is “the marriage podcast for smart [smaht] people.” I listen to a number of marriage podcasts (and enjoy them). This one goes the deepest into the psychology of marital relationships. That’s NOT to say that it’s all theory. I find that it’s practical and...Read full review »

My marriage has been struggling. I’ve sought out countless resources and so far this is the best. Great information, actionable items, ways to do self-reflection, and ways to help your spouse. The love for my wife has only increased by listening and applying what I have learned. It’s given me...Read full review »

mam8o no. 5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/20
Helpful and solid show. However, I’ve been listening for several years and noticed a trend that verlynda is a shamer and lacks compassion, particularly around sexual infidelity. Im no expert but it seems to be opposite of the Christlike framework they mention. Appreciate Caleb’s neutral approach.
Nsueller via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/20
Age 57 and working on 2nd marriage... Great info that only applies to my situations randomly, but i love to listen just to hear people with good communication skills talk about anything. Kind of like if you have a good voice, you could make singing the phone book sound good!
Raindrop007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/20
So glad I found this podcasts, helps me understand and process a lot of questions I have had. Easy and fun to listen to
Azblondie13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/20
I like all of the easily-digestible tidbits of wisdom in this podcast! It’s a great way to boost any marriage, and it’s free! I appreciated the episode on dealing with a narcissistic spouse, and I think it would be great to follow it up with an episode on spouses with Borderline Personality...Read full review »

Thank you for all the wisdom, insights , the pleasant exchanges! They say “love [alone] can’t save a marriage, but knowledge does,” and thank you so much for the information and knowledge shared. Love it!!!
Casey_EverNow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/28/20
Thank you so much for all the insight! I started listening to your podcast and shared it with my husband who is al caught up with your show now. We love your podcast! You speak on so many topics that are very needed for marriages today. Thank you for all the help!!!!

I can not begin to express how informative all this was for myself . Thank you again for everything you do !!! I am hoping that my husband will be willing to listen to your podcast soon

Best podcast for married couples trying to improve their marriage. I’ve found episodes that address a wide variety of issues, this is my favorite podcast on marriage I’ve found.
FaithJJordan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/19
I found the marriage podcast for smart people while looking for insight into my dysfunctional marriage. They deliver so effectively, touching on necessary and tough topics. Topics that are especially hard to find in Christian settings. Thanks guys!
LovenMercy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/19
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I think this podcast is clear, concise, research and proven modality based, and fun to listen to. I will use it in my own marriage and both refer to it and recommend it to my couples.

Thank you for some great tips for helping us have a healthy marriage. It’s been so helpful!

My husband and I just recently started listening to this podcast because our marriage of 30 years hit some rocky roads due to some major family crisis and empty nesting. I can’t say enough how each episode relates and challenges us to do more for us. I’m so very excited to keep going and grow...Read full review »

I have been listening to these podcasts for about a month- I am so impressed with how hard subjects are tackled with sensitivity and practicality, and loads of dry humor! Caleb and Verlynda talk about things that many don’t want to talk about. So grateful for these podcasts. It has given me...Read full review »
Cecegee33012 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/19
This was exactly what I was looking for. The topics are spot on. I’m glad to get research based info, and the show is bite sized enough to keep my husband’s attention. I have to agree that the announcer is just awful and detracts from otherwise normal, non irritating voices. It’s like Winona...Read full review »

My husband and I have had a tumultuous marriage from the start with terrible family dynamics and our own strong personalities butting heads. Over the years we withdrew from each other, essentially roommates, but stayed together for the sake of the children. We created a lot of hurt and trauma...Read full review »

My husband and I recently separated and I’ve been devouring this info to learn more about myself. It’s because of this podcast that I opted for a therapeutic separation instead of divorce.

Caleb and Verlynda, just want to say thank you for pouring so much love and insight into your podcast. This has challenged me, showed me many areas of opportunity, and given me tools/hope to be a better husband. Love you guys!!
HectorSLeon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/14/19
This a great podcast with actionable tips to help you “keep that loving feeling”. And they are a fun couple with light hearted banter.
Brkroon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/19
10/10 -What an absolute awesome podcast. The wisdom & insight shared , that is derived from a foundation of Christian principles can be implemented immediately.
Miss Hijinx via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/28/19
Like this show it’s clarity and balance. Room for growth—- I would like to see the wife’s role here expanded beyond supportive and summative. I bet she has more wisdom than is exhibited here.
Pineina via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/18
Caleb and Verlynda are the best! Lots of sound research based advice. So much great content. My husband and I have listened to so many of you podcasts, over and over.

Brooke Lazor via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/23/18
I enjoy how specific the episodes are—this has helped me to think more carefully about the different challenges a marriage faces, rather than feeling overwhelmed by a general discouragement. Both hosts are very skilled communicators who are sensitive and helpfully professional.
james in oxford via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/30/18
Yes, that’s a chorus line from an 80s pop song. And it also may sound like the title of an episode addressing some type of addiction, but in the sense that I mean- well... maybe it actually is my own case of addiction... I might just be addicted to your podcast! So, can you do an episode on that...Read full review »

Late 2016 to late 2017, our marriage was a hell. On our third year of our marriage, all our inner mess and baggages surfaced to the point that we have to separate to two countries. Your podcast has been one of my solace during the agonizing months. I binged! I would make my husband listen to your...Read full review »

I’m not married yet, but feel better prepared for it after listening. Thank you!
happyjam33 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/18
I am very excited to re-listen to these episodes. I wanted to know if you could do an episode on being the spouse and the “do’s and don’ts” of what to do when your spouse has been sexually abused?
Dave12282000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/18
I may be the minority on this but I literally cringe at her “ohh, ok, ahh, ya “ additions to every comment. It’s like fake surprise or fake interest in what was said. And he sounds almost degrading to her by correcting her or not letting her talk. The actual topics aren’t bad but I’m not sure I...Read full review »

Thank you for finding a way to make this podcast happen. I know it is a financial sacrifice. I have greatly benefited from the sound, research-based advice.
