What does hosting a relationships podcast do to your marriage? Would it become couples therapy, showing you all the issues you hadn't dealt with? Or does it bring you closer together as you talk with inspiring couples who share their stories of overcoming struggles and building strong relationships.

In a special bonus episode to celebrate the conclusion of the first ever season of Couple Goals, we turned the tables on our hosts, Luke and LJ Meates. Now they're the ones in the hot seat! We reached out to all the guests who have been on the show this year and they've sent in their questions for the Meates' to answer.

Luke and LJ have also gathered their TOP RELATIONSHIP TIPS from every conversation this season. These are the things that hit them hardest, caused them to re-examine their relationship and gave them practical things to try.

Season 2 of Couple Goals coming in 2026!

Check out our channel for more uplifting relationship support, real marriage stories and deep wisdom on how to make relationships work.

Every couple will go through tough spots in their relationship, and we know how challenging and difficult that can be. IIn a culture that increasingly favours ease and comfort, many people feel like divorce is the only way forward, but what if there was another option?

Divorce and Relationships Coach Claire Auchmuty has years of experience working with couples in crisis, and she believes there's always hope for resolution and reconciliation. As she always says, 'the only caveat for change is willingness'.

She sensitively asks people the question, 'what if you don't need a divorce?' - often helping them to realise that changing their outlook and bringing in an outside perspective can completely change their relationship for the better.

This episode is packed full of important questions, helpful advice and practical next steps to apply in our relationships wherever we're at. Claire also tells us all about her new relationship audit and how courageously confronting the cracks now can help prevent them from becoming chasms later down the line.

Andy and Dana Masters were never supposed to work. When they met in L.A. 17 years ago, this singer-songwriter from South Carolina and trainee minister from rural Co. Down, Northern Ireland, didn't get on well – with Andy's jokes not quite landing with Dana. But humour not translating across cultures was just one of the obstacles to overcome. When they started dating, they quickly realised they were opposite in (almost) every way.

But despite opposing personality types and backgrounds on different sides of the Atlantic, they have been able to build a relationship that has grown and thrived through everything that life has thrown at them.

They share the one thing they have in common that keeps them united despite their differences, how they navigate a cross-cultural relationship and how they've developed habits in their relationship which protect the values they care most strongly about.
