The couple discusses how they keep the spark alive in their marriage after four years, by going on date nights and doing small gestures to show they care, their goals and dreams which include traveling, financial stability, and personal growth, and their key practice of having a vision for their relationship and reminding each other of it every day. Kristina Mathieu and Wes, a couple who are also business partners, talk about their relationship and the challenges they faced in communicating and working together. They share how they learned to be better active listeners and the progress they made in their relationship through therapy. Wes talks about how he used to struggle with understanding the importance of good communication and boundaries due to not having any role models for healthy relationships, but has since learned and grown. Kristina also emphasizes the value of prioritizing oneself in a relationship and speaking up.
