Is it unreasonable to want one lazy day a week? Should your mother-in-law have a key to your house without you knowing? And can your husband dip into the kitchen fund for a vintage motorcycle if he promises it'll "go up in value"?

In this episode of The Beyond I Do Podcast, Byron and Margaret react to three real "Am I being unreasonable?" stories from married couples. We talk about the husband who treats every weekend like a second job, the wife who came home to find her mother-in-law unloading groceries in her kitchen, and the couple $5,000 away from a kitchen reno when a "once in a lifetime" bike shows up.

Three different problems. One common thread: when you make agreements as a team, you keep them as a team. Marriage is for adults.

What we cover:

• Why "resting" isn't the same as "not helping"
• Passive-aggressive vacuuming (yes, it's a thing)
• Boundaries with in-laws and why the conversation starts with your spouse, not their mama
• Yours, mine, and ours money — and what happens when someone breaks the deal
• How small broken agreements quietly chip away at trust

In this episode of The Beyond I Do Podcast, Byron and Margaret sit down with Angela and Surie Alexander, married 41 years, to talk about a love story tested by two life-altering crises: a brain aneurysm two years into their marriage, and a car accident 15 years later that took the lives of two of their sons.

Angela shares how she turned unimaginable grief into purpose by becoming an author, speaker, and subject of a documentary film, and what she believes actually holds a marriage together when everything falls apart.

Angela's book, Miracles in Action, and her documentary are available now.

In this episode of The Beyond I Do Podcast, Byron & Margaret sit down with Jennifer Struffert, founder of Enduring Connections and Advocacy, a divorce coach, relationship coach, and co-parenting mediator who went through the same coaching training program they did.

Jennifer gets real about the difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict, why "how you show up" matters more than what your partner does, and the one question she asks clients who are stuck trying to decide whether to stay or go. She also opens up about her own divorce, what she wishes she'd known, and why coaching and therapy aren't an either/or.

In this episode:

• The real difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict

• Why accountability (not blame) is the turning point in relationship coaching

• The question that helped Jennifer finally make her decision

• Why therapy and coaching work better together, not against each other

• How to co-parent through high conflict without losing the kids in the middle

• Three things every couple in conflict needs to hear
