    AQ008: An Open Conversation on Love, Relationships & First Years of Marriage pt. 1 | feat. The Dixons

    A Valentine's Day Special! Featuring Tyler and Tori Dixon, this conversation was such a blessing to record and even moreso an honor to share for anyone who is simply interested a bit of a refresher, a reset, and even taking the dialogue in this show to reflect on what's important in your own life, love, and relationships.  Peyton asks a series of questions on universal relationship dynamics, and Tori and Tyler willingly share their humble and honest experiences, perspectives, and lessons learned on the realities of love throughout the different stages of their relationship from dating to their first years of marriage. (and, might we say, their answers are ones you won't want to miss!) In this episode, you'll find... that simple but intentional actions go a long way, that dating your partner is always in style, that love goes beyond just a feeling, that welcoming faith into your foundation is a timeless cornerstone, that it takes 100/100 from both sides,  and that jumping in the car for ice cream at sunset while signing your favorite music never gets old!  Join us to see what these questions stir in you to write your love story the way you always dreamed it to be!
