  • 065: Secrets to a Successful Marriage with Veteran and Military Spouse Tina Erwin
    Aug 4 2025

    What if the secret to a successful marriage wasn’t about being perfect… but about learning to love each other through the mess, the distance, and the fear?

    If you're a military spouse or in any kind of long-distance or high-stress relationship, you know it’s not always easy. The deployments, the uncertainties, the constant adapting. And yet, somehow, we still long for connection, for belonging, for a love that lasts.

    In this episode, I sit down with Tina Erwin, a retired Naval Commander, Navy wife, and mother, who’s been married for over 50 years. Through real stories and raw reflections, she shares the secrets to a successful marriage especially when life pulls you in different directions.

    From navigating fear when your spouse is in danger, to reclaiming your identity in the chaos of military life, Tina offers more than advice. She offers hope, humor, and hard-won truth.

    Whether you're just starting your military marriage, deep in the trenches, or wondering how to hold it all together…

    This conversation is your gentle reminder that the secrets to a successful marriage are rooted in love, faith, communication and the courage to grow together.

    This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever tossed and turned at night, woken up with their heart racing, or felt like anxiety was controlling their nights (and stealing their days).
