Love Your First Year with Kyler & Britt Nixon
000 - Welcome to the Love Your First Year Podcast
Welcome to the Love Your First Year Podcast with Kyler & Britt Nixon!
Here, you’ll find practical conversations to help dating, engaged, and newly married Christian couples love their first year of marriage–and beyond.
Everything we share will be practical, biblical, and grounded in our own experience. Both from being married, but also from working with thousands of couples over the years.
We’ll release an episode each week and cover topics like God’s plan for marriage, communication and conflict, in-laws, your wedding night, finances, and more.
We’re so glad you’re here! If you have questions or need help, send us a DM on Instagram at @loveyourfirstyear. You can also find tons of free and premium resources, including our best-selling premarital course, on our website at loveyourfirstyear.com
And friend, we loved our first year of marriage… you deserve to love yours, too.
