This week, we dug through the relationship archives and found the old “things we love about each other” lists that we wrote each other from way back when we were young, broke, and a bit dramatic… and immediately realized a few of them were sweet, some were still true, and several absolutely could not be read on the podcast.
We talk about early dating, being broke, Valentine’s Day confusion, Hooters, flowers at 4 a.m., cooking, tattoos, old cards, iPad drawings, and the weird little things that somehow turn into 20 years of being together.
It gets cringey, funny, a little sentimental, and probably too honest at times.
Thanks for listening and watching the Wife Approved Podcast.
