❤️ Strong marriages aren’t built on grand gestures — they’re built on deep friendship. Curiosity, laughter, emotional safety, and feeling like you’re on the same team form the foundation of lasting intimacy.

We’re Andrew and Lara Pilcher — married 20 years, parents of two, and a couple blending clinical Body–Mind–Heart understanding with real marriage experience.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why friendship is the strongest predictor of long-term marital satisfaction — and how rebuilding your friendship can transform your emotional and physical intimacy.
