🎙️ One Year In: Marriage, Blended Families & Permission to Riff with Ronnie Merrell One year of marriage down. So naturally, we brought back the guy who made it official. 😂 In this episode of Can I Riff?, Erik and Bailey are joined by their friend Ronnie Merrell, who officiated their wedding, to look back on their first year of marriage and everything that came with it. They get real about building a marriage after divorce, blending a family, learning how to parent together, navigating conflict, and recognizing when you’re accidentally arguing with the baggage of a past relationship instead of the person sitting in front of you. Ronnie also shares his advice for year two: stay intentional, make time for each other, remember why you chose each other in the first place, and give each other grace upon grace upon grace. ❤️ And because this is Can I Riff?, the conversation obviously doesn’t stay serious for long. The riffs include Taylor Swift, outrageous concert ticket prices, Toy Story, Britney Spears, Hanson, the Indy 500, becoming a full-fledged “race dad,” Snake Pit chaos, jorts, bald-guy advertising, and several turns nobody could have predicted. 🏎️😂 It’s a conversation about marriage, blended families, parenting, second chances, friendship, faith, and finding a way to laugh while figuring it all out. 🎧 Permission to riff? Permission granted.
