When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually blissfully weirdness – also known as love. In this episode we dive into marriage, a topic we believe should be extra unique and always Against The Grain. We chat about all the things that make our marriage weird and beautiful, as well as specific ways we’re trying to evolve and grow stronger as a couple.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“We can best help children learn, not by deciding what we think they should learn and thinking of ingenious ways to teach it to them, but by making the world, as far as we can, accessible to them, paying serious attention to what they do, answering their questions -- if they have any -- and helping them explore the things they are most interested in.” ~ John Holt
