What I Love About 15 Years of Marriage
Welcome to the Joyful Mom Podcast!
In this heartfelt anniversary episode, Megan celebrates 15 years of marriage to her husband, Justin, reflecting on the joy, growth, and resilience they’ve built together. What started as a simple realization—“Wait, it’s been 15 years?”—turned into a meaningful exercise of writing down what she truly loves about their relationship. Especially after walking through a challenging season filled with hard conversations and hard feelings, this reflection became a powerful reminder: marriage takes intention, work, and a shared commitment to stay connected.
Megan shares some of the qualities she treasures most about their marriage—how they laugh often, get on the same page quickly, value each other’s opinions, and genuinely enjoy being together. Inspired in part by the book Eight Dates by John Gottman and Julie Gottman, she reflects on how what once seemed like major differences actually reveal deep alignment in values, dreams, and faith. From talking business (engineer meets online entrepreneur) to playing volleyball with their kids to dreaming big about life decisions—like moving into a bus for two years—their ability to move toward shared goals has been a gift.
Most importantly, Megan reminds listeners that love deepens through seasons—both beautiful and difficult. She encourages every wife to pause and ask: What do I love about my marriage? Why is my marriage the best? Because when you intentionally look for what’s good, you begin to feel it again. And those feelings matter.
Happy 15 years to Megan and Justin—proof that laughter, shared faith, and choosing each other again and again can make love grow even stronger with time.
