Do Opposites Still Attract? How Celebrating Your Differences Makes Your Marriage Stronger
Season 8 · Episode 21
mercredi 25 février 2026 • Duration 49:09
Can the things that attracted you to your spouse when you were dating become annoyances when you're married?
Perhaps, but if you make the effort, your differences can become the glue that keeps your marriage strong - even when those differences are like night and day.
In this episode, recorded just before their 5th wedding anniversary, Chris and Richelle Alessi dive deep into the myth and reality of “opposites attract” in marriage, sharing candid stories from their own journey.
From awkward first encounters and hilarious miscommunications to learning how to process conflicts and celebrate opposing personality traits, they reveal how their differences have shaped their relationship—and sometimes challenged it.
You'll learn practical tips on effective marriage communication, building trust as a couple, and using personality differences as strengths rather than sources of division.
Chris and Richelle open up about:
- Navigating literal vs. general communication styles
- Dealing with conflict when one spouse needs time to process
- How family and sibling dynamics affect early dating and marriage decisions
- Learning to trust and support each other’s strengths
- Using differences to enrich the family, especially when raising kids
- Why personality and communication habits change across seasons of marriage
If you want to strengthen your marriage, build mutual respect, and find fun in the unique ways you and your spouse are wired, this episode is for you!

SHE Said: What Wives Wish Their Husbands Understood About Them
Season 8 · Episode 20
mercredi 18 février 2026 • Duration 57:06
The men had their turn - now the ladies respond.
Mary Alessi and her daughters Stephanie Alessi Muiña, Gaby Alessi Calatayud, and daughter-in-law Richelle Alessi dive into the heart of what women really want men to know. Hint: it’s not about solving every problem, but being heard, valued, and understood.
You'll hear candid laughs about double standards, quiet moments that actually mean something, and learn why one small effort (think surprise ice cream or a morning coffee) can transform a wife's day.
With real-life stories on teamwork, compromise, respect, and the power of feeling safe, these wives break down how deep connection often comes from small, intentional acts—not perfection.
Tune in as they spill behind-the-scenes secrets that could help both husbands and wives crack the code on communication, affection, and building a home where everyone feels truly seen.
REMINDER: Make sure you hear the men's "What He Said" episode so you get both sides of this conversation!

No Offense: Why Men Should Master Emotions and Quit Being Easily Offended | S6 E17
Season 6 · Episode 17
mercredi 24 janvier 2024 • Duration 34:14
If the title of this episode offends you, that's the point.
In every area of our modern culture, being offended has become a badge of honor, even among men who once had the strength to stand on convictions rather than being overly sensitive.
To combat this epidemic of emotional drama, Steve Alessi welcomes back his life-long friend and guest Pastor Steve Hage, as they challenge men to embrace their masculinity and avoid easily taking offense. You'll learn why men need to support and sharpen each other, and how they are sometimes discouraged from being strong emotionally.
You'll be challenged to trust in God rather than people, to love others unconditionally, and to celebrate the role of strong men in a society that desperately needs them.
