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.

#66: Are You Normalising What You Should Be Fixing
When did we start calling 'surviving' a marriage success?
This week, Nichole and Ben respond to a powerful listener confession: "Am I the arsehole for wanting more from my marriage?" She's being told by everyone - her mum, her sister, the internet to "focus on the good" and accept that "this is just what marriage is like." But she sees other couples who are genuinely happy and wonders: surely there has to be more than this?
In this episode, they break down why we've normalised relationship mediocrity, the three warning signs you're settling for dysfunction, and what to do when everyone's telling you to lower your standards.
If you've ever been made to feel dramatic for wanting connection, or guilty for expecting your partner to actually show up emotionally this one's for you.
