  • What Do You Actually Want From Your Marriage? | Date Your Wife Experience LIVE
    2026/08/26

    What happens when you take the conversations from the Date Your Wife Podcast and put real couples in the room?

    This week, we're taking you inside the Date Your Wife Experience LIVE.

    Garrett and Danielle White aren't just talking to each other about marriage. They're opening the conversation to couples who are actively confronting the same questions around sex, money, communication, parenting, expectations, success, and connection.

    And this week's conversation starts with one deceptively simple question:

    What do you actually want from your marriage?

    Not what your spouse needs to change.

    Not everything they're doing wrong.

    Not the marriage you think you're supposed to have.

    What do YOU actually want?

    Garrett shares what happened when he reached a point where success could no longer solve what was missing at home.

    More money didn't fix it.

    Another trip didn't fix it.

    Another car, hotel, business win, or external accomplishment wasn't going to create the marriage he wanted.

    Something had to change.

    Inside this live Date Your Wife Experience, Garrett, Danielle, and the couples in the room unpack:

    • Getting clear about what you actually want from your marriage
    • Why being right doesn't mean you're getting the result you want
    • The illusion of trying to control your spouse
    • How success can hide disconnection at home
    • Money, sex, parenting, communication, and expectations
    • Creating non-negotiables inside your relationship
    • Communicating what you want instead of expecting your spouse to guess
    • Taking responsibility for your side of the marriage
    • Recognizing when your current strategy simply isn't working
    • Making the pivot necessary to create something different

    This is the Date Your Wife Podcast in a different format.

    You're not just hearing Garrett and Danielle unpack their own marriage.

    You're stepping inside the room where couples are doing the work in real time.

    If something in this conversation exposes a conversation you and your spouse need to have, don't just listen to it.

    Have it.

    And if you're ready to take the next step, come experience these conversations with us LIVE.

  • The Conversations Married Couples Avoid | Truth, Resentment & Intimacy
    2026/08/19

    Why do couples wait until resentment becomes a blowup before finally saying what they actually feel?

    In this Date Your Wife Experience, Garrett and Danielle White bring couples into a conversation about one of the most important—and uncomfortable—skills in marriage:

    Learning to speak the truth before disconnection takes over.

    Garrett and Danielle have spent decades navigating marriage, business, sex, parenting, money, conflict, and the stories they've created about each other along the way.

    In this live experience, they open that conversation to other couples and expose something nearly every marriage encounters:

    You start believing you're the only couple dealing with this.

    You're not.

    This session explores:

    • Why couples hide what they're actually feeling
    • How unspoken resentment turns into disconnection
    • Speaking truth without turning every conversation into a fight
    • Why avoiding conflict doesn't create peace
    • Sex, rejection, and the stories couples silently carry
    • The connection between honesty and intimacy
    • How appreciation changes the emotional environment of a marriage
    • Why couples need community—not just crisis intervention
    • Moving beyond surface-level communication
    • Creating conversations around sex, kids, money, God, and marriage

    One of the central truths Garrett exposes is simple:

    An inability to speak the truth kills connection.

    When couples stop communicating about the things that actually matter, they don't necessarily stop talking.

    They start talking about everything except what matters.

    And slowly, husband and wife move into separate worlds.

    This experience is about interrupting that pattern before resentment, isolation, or crisis forces the conversation.

    The Date Your Wife Experience brings couples together to have the conversations that are difficult to create alone—and to build a marriage intentionally instead of waiting until something breaks.

  • Should Married Couples Schedule Sex? | Rejection, Intimacy & Desire in Marriage
    2026/08/12

    Can scheduling sex actually improve your marriage—or does putting it on the calendar kill the very thing you're trying to create?

    In this episode of the Date Your Wife Podcast, Garrett and Danielle White have an unusually candid conversation about sex, intimacy, rejection, desire, and what happens when you've been married long enough for years of expectations and experiences to pile up.

    Danielle opens up about wanting intimacy without every touch automatically becoming an expectation for sex, while Garrett breaks down the other side of the equation: how years of small sexual rejections can stack up for a husband until he becomes hesitant to initiate at all.

    That leads them into a bigger question:

    What if you just scheduled sex?

    Inside this episode, Garrett and Danielle unpack:

    • Why intimacy and sex aren't always the same thing
    • How sexual pressure affects women inside marriage
    • How repeated rejection affects men
    • Why good sex is something couples actually learn together
    • The tension between safety, security, fantasy, and excitement
    • What happens when sex becomes predictable
    • Whether scheduled sex removes pressure or creates more of it
    • Why date night doesn't automatically equal sex
    • Keeping desire alive in a long-term marriage
    • Garrett and Danielle's own challenge to experiment with scheduling sex

    This isn't a conversation about the "correct" amount of sex a married couple should be having.

    It's about being willing to have the conversation in the first place.

    Because after decades together, Garrett and Danielle are still discovering that assumptions about what the other person wants can create more distance than the actual problem.

    And sometimes improving your marriage starts with being willing to say the uncomfortable thing out loud.

    ❤️ Take the Conversation Into Your Own Marriage

    The Date Your Wife Experience is a live community where couples use the tools and strategies Garrett and Danielle have developed in their own marriage to create more honest conversations, stronger communication, deeper connection, and greater intimacy.

  • Why Couples Stop Seeing Each Other; The Hidden Stories That Destroy Marriage
    2026/07/29

    How often are you talking to your spouse…

    …and how often are you talking to the version of them you created years ago?

    In this episode of the Date Your Wife Podcast, Garrett and Danielle White unpack one of the biggest relationship traps couples fall into: living inside old stories instead of seeing the person standing in front of you today.

    What begins as a conversation about one of Garrett's viral marriage carousels quickly becomes a deeper discussion about communication, emotional triggers, respect, family conditioning, long-term attraction, and why so many couples unknowingly sabotage connection.

    Inside this episode:

    • Why couples stop truly seeing each other
    • The stories we carry from years of marriage
    • How family patterns shape relationship expectations
    • The difference between reacting and responding
    • Why emotional triggers create distance
    • Communication that builds trust instead of resentment
    • Long-term attraction after years together
    • Why date nights alone don't fix disconnection
    • Building a marriage based on today's reality—not yesterday's assumptions

    One of the biggest takeaways:

    You don't have a marriage problem.

    You may have a story problem.

    Because when you continue relating to an old version of your spouse, you stop experiencing the person they've become.

    After more than 25 years together, Garrett and Danielle continue to share the conversations that most couples avoid—but desperately need.

    If you're dating, engaged, married, or rebuilding your relationship, this episode will challenge the way you communicate and reconnect.

    2026/07/15

    What slowly pulls two people apart in marriage?

    It's usually not one catastrophic moment.

    It's the small moments of disconnection that go unspoken.

    In this episode of the Date Your Wife Podcast, Garrett and Danielle White explore the hidden emotional dynamics that shape long-term relationships, beginning with a candid conversation about Danielle's audiobook, God Is My Ghostwriter.

    Together they discuss:

    • Emotional connection
    • Vulnerability
    • Honesty in marriage
    • Attraction and intimacy
    • Roommate relationships
    • Emotional leadership
    • Communication
    • Long-term relationship growth
    • Marriage after decades together

    This episode offers an honest look at what it takes to continue choosing each other after 25 years of marriage.

    Because healthy marriages aren't built on perfection.

    They're built on truth.

  • We Had It All—and Still Felt Empty | The Date Your Wife Experience - LIVE
    2026/07/08
    After nearly a decade of running the Date Your Wife podcast, Garrett White (founder of Wake Up Warrior) and his wife Danielle launch something new: The Date Your Wife Experience, a live, faith-centered event for married couples. In this inaugural episode, Garrett and Danielle get honest about the version of their marriage most people never saw — 23 years together, two rising companies, five kids, and a marriage that looked perfect on paper while they quietly lost connection with each other. They walk through the four stages every marriage moves through (Survival, Success, Performance, and Covenant) and the choice that changed everything: putting God back at the center of their relationship. Listeners also hear unscripted, in-the-moment testimonials from couples in the Wake Up Warrior community — including Jake & Mackenzie, Dave & Angie, and Stephen & Laurie — on what actually shifted in their marriages. This is not a coaching call and not a therapy session. It's an honest look at where your marriage really is, and an invitation to bring faith into the center of it. JOIN LIVE: This is part one of a two-part series. The Date Your Wife Experience runs live and free every Thursday night at 6PM Eastern — bring your spouse, or come solo. www.dateyourwife.com/live
