Marauder Radio with Bob Zima: Why Marriage is WORK—And Why It’s Worth Every Minute

On today’s Behavioral Health Espresso, Bob Zima dives into a truth few want to admit: marriage isn’t just a blissful, carefree journey—it’s real, challenging work. But here’s the thing: that work pays off, bringing rewards that make every effort worthwhile.

Bob, a licensed clinical professional counselor and an improv comedy graduate from Chicago’s Player’s Workshop of the Second City, knows how to make these serious topics fun, relatable, and a little edgy. He’s the voice behind Marauder Radio, Pirate Radio for Mental Wellness, a space where men’s mental health gets the unfiltered treatment. With a combination of humor and hard truths, Bob explores the real effort it takes to keep a marriage healthy, resilient, and joyful.

Marriage isn’t about coasting; it’s about doing the work of communication, compromise, and care. And for Bob, that work often means what he calls “HOOYA Therapy” (Head Out Of Your Ass): breaking out of comfort zones, letting go of assumptions, and learning to understand your partner’s needs, even when it’s inconvenient. By staying committed to the work, couples can build stronger bonds, navigate life’s inevitable stresses, and create a partnership that brings true happiness.

Bob’s approach is refreshingly straightforward and packed with laughter. His unique, guy’s-guy perspective tackles marriage with just the right mix of humor and insight, reminding us that while marriage is hard work, it’s also an adventure that makes life richer and more rewarding. The payoff? A relationship that can stand the test of time and the tough moments that life throws at us.

Catch today’s episode of Behavioral Health Espresso for a shot of Bob’s no-BS wisdom on marriage, commitment, and the joy that comes from putting in the work. Because in the end, a healthy marriage isn’t about avoiding problems—it’s about facing them together, laughing along the way, and growing side-by-side.
