À propos de ce contenu audio

Hey everyone, welcome to the Beyond the Seven Year Itch!

We're James and Carrie, a real married couple from Holland, Michigan, who've been together long enough to know that marriage isn't all sunshine and Netflix binges—though we do love those too. This podcast is our unfiltered, no-holds-barred take on married life... and then some.

We dive into the hilarious chaos, the everyday frustrations, the sweet moments, and the deep stuff that comes with sharing a life, a bathroom, and way too many Amazon deliveries. Expect funny back-and-forth banter (Carrie usually wins the arguments, but I keep score), occasional serious chats about what actually keeps a marriage going past the seven-year mark, and zero judgment—just two people figuring it out while cracking each other up.

Every episode we pick a random topic (sometimes pulled from whatever wild thing happened that week—like Valentine's Day drama, Super Bowl bets gone wrong in our house, or why Groundhog Day should be a federal holiday for couples), hit you with our Top Three lists on the subject, throw in a rotating fun segment (Am I the Asshole? Would You Rather? Grind My Gears? Two Truths and a Lie?), fire off some Quick Hit playful questions about our week, share your submitted stories and questions, and tease what's coming next.

It's marriage talk that's real, relatable, a little spicy, and always entertaining. Whether you're married, engaged, dating, or just watching to see if we survive another episode, hit subscribe so you don't miss the laughs (or the occasional therapy session disguised as banter).

Drop your own marriage stories, questions, or "help us settle this fight" moments in the comments or email us at connect@beyondthesevenyearitch.com—we might feature you on the show!

Subscribe to our YouTube channel, follow us on TikTok for the quick clips, and let's keep the conversation going. Marriage isn't perfect... but talking (and laughing) about it sure helps.

See you in the next episode! 💍😂
