Long-term love isn’t just romance and roses—it’s late-night talks, feeling like roommates sometimes, cultural clashes over Christmas… and still choosing each other anyway.
In this episode, I sit down with Marie, a French entrepreneur living in Germany, who’s been with her German husband for 26 years. She shares how they went from a slow-burn love story (including a very delayed first kiss at Oktoberfest!) to building a life with three kids, two cultures, and very different personalities under one roof.
We talk about what it really looks like when opposites attract—Marie is the energetic butterfly, her husband the calm, steady rock—and how that dynamic can be both comforting and incredibly frustrating. Marie opens up about the season where she felt invisible, more like a vase on the table than a woman and partner, and the courageous conversation that became a turning point in their marriage.
You’ll hear:
- How they kept intimacy and connection alive while raising three little ones
- What to do when you feel taken for granted or like “just roommates”
- Why you can’t change your partner—but you can change how you relate
- How bicultural couples can honor both traditions without losing themselves
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this it?” in your long-term relationship, this episode will give you hope, language, and next steps.
