Until Women's Retreat Do We Part

In this episode, Paul reflects on his wife Lori's weekend at a women's retreat and what their rare overnight separations reveal about marriage. He addresses critics who call their close partnership unhealthy, explains that their togetherness is a mutual choice after 20 years of working from home, and contrasts that with studies showing many couples have only minutes of meaningful daily interaction.

Paul invites listeners to consider how much quality engagement they have with their spouse and whether it’s enough, encouraging reflection on closeness, space, and what “doing marriage well” looks like for different couples.
