The 200% Marriage Podcast with Meredith & Craig - Episode 121

We’re throwing the challenge flag on ourselves. 🚩

For 120 episodes, we’ve been the podcast world’s best-kept secret under the name "The Road of Life." But let’s be real - if you’re looking for a kick-ass marriage, that show name doesn't exactly scream "results." It was fine. And around here, "fine" is a four-letter word we don't settle for.

Welcome to Episode 1 of The 200% Marriage Podcast (and episode 121 of our journey).

In this episode, we’re officially re-branding and kicking off a brand-new podcast era where we are taking you behind the scenes of our new book, The 200% Marriage.

We’re talking about the cover art that almost looked like a formal wedding invitation (yuck), why our family has no idea what we actually do for a living, and the "testes" (testimonials) that include everything from spelling debates to creepy wingmen.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• The Challenge Flag: Our favorite tool for navigating uncomfortable conversations without attacking your partner. And how we threw it on ourselves this week.

• The Cover Story: How we went from "formal wedding vibes" to a cover that looks like "going into the mountains to have sex" (thanks, Aunt Val!).

• The Dedication: A heartfelt tribute to Mer's dad and why this book is for anyone ready to stop being roommates.

• The Forward: A special reading of the forward written by our mentor and friend, Greg L. Kimble

What’s Next? Since you asked (repeatedly), we are making the podcast the "audiobook" version of The 200% Marriage. Every week, we’ll read a chapter and then dive into a chit-chat about stories from the "cutting room floor" that didn't make it to print.
