My Husband: How to Build an Open Relationship That Works

My husband CASEY GARVIN and I dive deep into our own relationship, answering questions from listeners about our journey, our love, and our openness over the past eight years.

On this episode, we get deep about:

* The unique ways that we navigate and heal from conflict.

* Who proposed to whom.

* How we planned our atypical wedding.

* How we learned to embrace jealousy in our open relationship.

* What our personal rules around openness are.

* How we navigate sexual health.

* And some fun things, like our favorite things about each other.
