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.

#28: Why Modern Marriage Feels So Hard—And What You Can Do About It
Marriage today looks nothing like it did for our parents—and yet we’re still holding ourselves to outdated expectations that don’t fit real life.
In this episode, Nichole and Ben talk honestly about why modern marriages are struggling more than ever. From shifting gender roles to the constant stress of parenting, career demands, financial pressure, and the mental load—this is the stuff that slowly chips away at connection, even when you love each other.
They unpack the real reasons relationships fall apart (it’s not just infidelity), why conflict isn’t always the problem—and what couples actually need to feel safe, seen, and supported in 2024.
If you’re feeling like your marriage is more survival than connection lately, you’re not alone. This conversation is the permission slip and the perspective shift most couples never get.
