It's hard to know where to go for marriage advice, so we brought 3 relationship experts back into the studio to ask them more of your questions about what makes relationships work at every stage of life.
How do we manage when the mental load of life becomes overwhelming, or when financial stress, low libido or marriage secrets threaten to damage our relationship beyond repair? Do we need to share everything with our partner, or should we hold some things back?
Philip Jinadu, Cathy Madavan and Katharine Hill have decades of experience supporting couples, and they answer your questions with hard-won wisdom on the importance of gratitude, love languages and forgiveness.

Whether you're newlyweds or been married for 50+ years, this is the podcast for couples navigating the day-to-day reality of marriage. Who want more than they've got, who care about making relationships work in a culture where it feels like everything is against commitment and long-term love. We talk to couples who've built strong marriages through hardship and change, alongside experts sharing practical, research-grounded marriage advice — the Gottman Method, premarital preparation, and what actually makes a marriage work long after the wedding day.
Every episode brings you real stories from real couples and experts who've really lived it: infertility, chronic illness, addiction, financial pressure, blended families and everything in between. We don't do easy answers or clickbait relationship hacks. We do hope. Because whatever you're facing, you're not the first couple to face it, and you won't be the last to come through the other side stronger.
Our guests bring you their highs, their lows and what they’ve learned – so we can help you build a stronger relationship and know that whatever you’re going through right now, you’re not alone.
These are honest, unfiltered conversations about intimacy, communication, marriage, mental health, resilience and faith, hosted by Luke and LJ Meates.
Topics covered include anxiety, building connection, infertility, bereavement, mental health, faith, growing a family, parenting, communication, love languages, disability, hope, conflict, sex and intimacy and much more.
Couple Goals is produced by Care for the Family, a UK charity that's supported relationships for over 30 years. Our expertise is brought together here with fresh coaching and insight for a new generation of couples building their relationship from the ground up.
