Love for Life Podcast
The podcast for modern couples who want real connection that lasts.
Hosted by relationship and family coach Nichole Farrow and her husband Ben, this show is for couples trying to stay close while raising kids, building careers, and handling the stress of everyday life. Each week, they unpack the real issues behind modern relationships—intimacy, emotional connection, mental load, conflict, communication, and the quiet resentments no one talks about.
With a mix of expert insight and raw honesty, Nichole and Ben give you practical tools to strengthen your relationship, raise emotionally secure kids, and create a life you both actually want. Because working on your relationship isn’t just for when things go wrong—it’s a lifestyle choice that impacts everything. Research shows couples who invest in their connection are 6x more successful and live 4 years longer.
If you’re ready to break generational cycles, ditch the surface-level advice, and do the real work of love—this is your podcast.

#46: Surviving the 7-Year Itch: What Actually Keeps a Marriage Strong
This week marks our 7th wedding anniversary.
Seven years of being married, raising kids, working through hard conversations, and still managing to laugh together, most days.
In this episode, we’re sharing what’s helped us stay connected and in love through the real-life challenges that test most long-term relationships. Not the curated Instagram version, but the messy, honest, day-to-day work of choosing each other over and over again.
We talk about the little habits that have made the biggest difference, how we handle money in marriage, why we never let resentment fester, how we navigate arguments without disconnecting, and the small ways we prioritise our relationship even in the busiest seasons.
We also reflect on the science behind lasting marriages, including the 7-year itch. With divorce rates peaking around the seven-year mark, this conversation is especially important for couples wondering what it takes to go the distance, not just survive, but feel emotionally safe, seen, and still attracted to each other.
Whether you're newly married, feeling disconnected in your relationship, or wondering how to bring back the spark. This episode is a reminder that strong marriages aren’t built on grand gestures. They’re built on friendship, trust, and showing up daily with intention.
