Why do some marriages stay strong and connected while others slowly start to feel like roommates?
In this episode of The Standard Podcast, Preston Woody sits down with his wife, Dakota, for an honest conversation about marriage, trust, attraction, emotional safety, and some of the biggest things men misunderstand about their wives. After nearly eight years of marriage and three kids, they share what has helped them build trust, work through conflict, stay connected, and keep choosing each other through different seasons of life.
You’ll also hear about:
• What makes a man trustworthy
• Why women need more than provision
• What helps a wife feel safe
• Why owning mistakes builds respect
• Masculine and feminine dynamics
• How to handle emotional conflict
• Why spiritual leadership matters

If you’re married, dating, or want to build a stronger relationship someday, this episode will give you a lot to think about.
