Intro

“Keeping our connection alive as husband and wife is really about being intentional. When you are intentional, it becomes more meaningful to spend time together.” – Peter

A couple's connection is the backbone of a strong relationship. Yet seasons of life—parenting, work pressures, and health challenges—can easily strain this bond. Choosing to nurture connection intentionally helps couples stay close, support one another, and grow stronger through every change.

Delia continues her conversation with Peter and Harriet Chung, married for 40 years, as they share practical wisdom on staying emotionally connected through life’s transitions. They discuss the habits that have kept them close engaging in shared activities, planning meaningful trips, practising each other’s love languages, and setting intentional long‑term goals.

The Chungs also reflect on how mentoring younger couples has strengthened their own marriage by encouraging them to look outward, grow together, and revisit the insights they offer others. Through candid stories from their parenting years and the decisions they made as a team, they show how intentionality, trust, and open communication can sustain connection across decades.

You can also listen to Peter and Harriet as they share, "Building a marriage that communicates better."
