So enriching and relatable

Long time listener, Laura and Zach are so relatable. I love the gottman method and L & Z’s approach to all types of relationship topics. Also - Laura - so inspired by you running that marathon in 2024. Zach - let’s execute on the listener sponsorship for Laura’s marathon!! We’re here for it. And you guys…because you’re here for - and HELP - so many people. 🩵

Great learnings via MTR with Zach and Laura

I have learned so much this year by listening to marriage therapy radio and find Zach and Laura‘s approach to the show very engaging and educational. I appreciate the practical exercises and tools that they teach listeners and the way they’re able to help listeners reframe our thinking about relationships. Listening to MTR regularly reminds me that relationships take a lot of intentional effort and struggle is common for most couples. Overall, listening to MTR is worth the time and I highly recommend this podcast to everyone.
