Keeping Love, Fun and Friendship Alive in Marriage

Published on: 6th August, 2026

Is friendship in your marriage taking a back seat?

Between deadlines, family commitments and the demands of daily life, it can be easy to lose sight of the small ways we show love. Taking a moment to count the ways your spouse cares for you may help you rediscover simple ways to love them in return.

In this episode, June speaks with Rodney and Li Yen Chin, who are celebrating 25 years of marriage, about keeping friendship, fun and connection alive through every season of married life. Li Yen shares why expressing love in ways that matter most to your spouse is essential, while Rodney reflects on learning to speak kindly, listen patiently and give his wife his full attention, just as he did during courtship.

From revisiting cherished memories to the simple reminder to “treat me like your girlfriend”, discover practical ways to nurture love, strengthen friendship, and help your marriage grow deeper, closer and stronger.
