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.

#72 My fiancé picks his mum over me
In this episode of Love for Life, Nichole and Ben tackle one of the most common yet unspoken relationship deal-breakers: the overbearing mother-in-law who treats your partnership like a three-person marriage. The hosts don't hold back on what needs to change before she says "I do," getting brutally honest about enmeshment and why red flags before marriage only get worse after.
This episode is essential listening for anyone dealing with intrusive in-laws, anyone whose partner can't say no to their parents, or anyone planning a wedding while secretly wondering if they're making a massive mistake. Nichole and Ben explore why having keys to your home isn't about trust, how cultural differences amplify in-law tensions, and the one conversation this listener must have with her fiancé before it's too late. If you've ever felt like you're competing with your partner's mother for priority in the relationship, this episode will either save your marriage or help you dodge a bullet.
