No. 114: From Roommates to Teammates in Marriage In this episode of the One Degree Podcast, we’re talking about what it looks like to go from feeling like roommates in your marriage to actually thriving as a team. We’re sharing honest convos, practical tips, and real-life stuff that’s helped us stay connected and rooted in our faith—especially in the thick of busy, everyday life. We’ll chat about how easy it is to drift into that “just coexisting” phase and what you can do to get back on the same page. From simple daily check-ins and learning each other’s love languages to setting shared goals and handling conflict like teammates instead of opponents—we cover a lot. • 0:00:01 – Meet us, Nathaniel and Xan! We’re kicking off this new video podcast journey and sharing what you can expect. • 0:03:13 – Why we’re focusing on Christian marriage (spoiler: it started with a convo at Great Wolf Lodge). • 0:12:19 – What the “roommate stage” looks like and how to be more intentional. • 0:19:58 – How to build that teammate dynamic and prioritize time together. • 0:27:09 – The magic of small moments and why they matter so much. • 0:33:03 – Reigniting connection with love languages and fun little things. • 0:37:41 – Communication tips that actually help you feel like you’re on the same side. 🎧 If this episode encouraged you, share it with your spouse, small group, or that friend who’s in the trenches of marriage and needs some hope. 💌 And if you’re not subscribed yet—what are you waiting for?
