“Welcome to Better Marriage Daily, where we give you tips on how to love each other in spite of each other.”

Today we step into a buzzy topic: open relationships. We’re not preaching or prescribing—just two people exploring honest questions about love, commitment, curiosity, and capacity. We talk through what “open” can mean, the values that anchor our marriage, and why Sean says, “It’s a lot of work just taking care of Vanessa—much less adding more women to fully take care of.” Translation: emotional labor, time, money, schedules, and hearts are real.

We cover potential upsides people mention (radical honesty, expanded community, personal growth) and real risks (jealousy, inequity, safety, secrecy, drift). Then we share how we test decisions against our non-negotiables—faith, trust, health, and long-term vision—and why, for us, intimacy thrives when the “we” comes first.

Whether you’ve considered openness, dismissed it, or you’re just curious, this episode gives you language, questions, and practical guardrails to keep your connection strong—no matter your choice.

“Welcome to Better Marriage Daily, where we give you tips on how to love each other in spite of each other.”

In this candid episode, we open up about a season that blindsided our marriage: menopause. When the mood swings, night sweats, brain fog, and sleep loss hit, we felt it in our calendar, our communication, and our connection. The wild part? Most doctors aren’t deeply trained on menopause, so the first answers we got weren’t enough.

Vanessa dove into research—evidence-based books, reputable medical sites, and women’s health educators—and brought back practical tools that changed our home: new language for hard moments, sleep-first rules, food and lifestyle tweaks, and a plan to track symptoms so we fight the problem, not each other.

We share what worked for us, what didn’t, and how partners can show up with patience, compassion, and teamwork. If you’re feeling unseen, unheard, or “not yourself,” this one’s for you. You’re not broken—you’re changing. And together, you can get through it.
