What if we told you that the best marriage advice of all time comes from a chart-topping R&B hit? In this episode of the Marriage of Greatness podcast, Evan and Susan Money dive deep into the surprising, practical, and heart-centered marriage wisdom found in Brian McKnight’s classic song “Back at One.” Prepare to see marriage advice in a whole new light—and discover five simple, powerful steps that can transform your relationship starting today!

Key Highlights:

• A Love Song’s Hidden Wisdom: Evan and Susan break down the five steps from “Back at One” and explain how each lyric can be used as daily guidance to strengthen your marriage and keep the romance alive.

• Real-Life Examples: Hear how Evan’s habit of opening doors for Susan has become a cherished daily ritual—plus practical, honest stories of small gestures that make a huge impact.

• Forgiveness & Letting Go: Find out why you—and only you—can write a new chapter of forgiveness in your marriage, inspired by Mother Teresa’s wisdom.

• Intentional Time Together: Discover why unplugging from phones and enjoying shared activities (like walks and picnics) can create intimacy and joy, no matter how long you’ve been together.

• Consistency is the Secret: Learn why repeating these steps, over and over, isn’t just nice—it’s what separates good marriages from great ones.

Putting It Into Action:

1. Start Back at One: Choose one thing today to show your spouse they are your “dream come true.” (It can be as simple as a note, a kind word, or an act of service.)

2. Be Present: Try leaving your phone (and smartwatch!) behind during your next meal or outing, and focus entirely on your spouse.

3. Make It Plain to See: Put up a visible reminder—photos, notes, anything—that shows your spouse they’re the only one for you.

4. Repeat, Repeat, Repeat: Make these acts a habit. Consistency turns occasional romance into a lifestyle of love.

5. Challenge: For the next 30 days, fill your spouse’s “love tank” daily in their love language—without saying a word about it. See what shifts in your marriage!
