Practical and Actionable Guidance

I enjoy this podcast immensely - the content is always fresh and realistic, and I love how Aaron and Jocelyn work together to share the message. Highly recommend to any couple in any season of their relationship, but especially to those who are in one of the tougher seasons of raising young kids.
Rebecca-Pat Russell

Thankful!

The Freemans are real, honest, and practical! Which takes work and they offer tools, which are very beneficial to the long-haul.
Ericka Sylvester

So helpful

Practical, helpful, marriage-saving stuff!
cnit16

Enjoy the content, wish for less interruptions.

I enjoy the content because I feel like it’s nice to be reminded of the ways we can improve our marriage. I don’t love how Aaron is constantly interrupting Jocelyn. I’ve been binge listening to episodes recently and it occurs quite often.
AngMichWhite

Phenomenal!

That’s the only word that fits! I am a mental health therapist and I give these episodes as homework to clients. The Freemans are creating incredible content and I so appreciate it.
RealEstateWithJasmine

Just Give it a Listen

I came across this couple from a video I found on Instagram and have been hooked ever since. They break down such foundational elements every couple goes through in a way which is so easy to digest. I look forward to their new content every week and am so thankful I came across them. My husband and I also took their 30-day challenge and it was so worth the investment. We now do weekly check ins every week and it has truly made such an impact. Thank you to what you bring to couples every week. I hope their content helps whoever else is reading this. Just listen to at least one of their episodes, it’s worth your time.
tcisfrustrated

So refreshing!

Thank you for your light yet direct approach to discussing relationship issues. I feel like I want to listen to every episode at least three times because there is so much to learn. I truly appreciate you and am thankful we found you.
TBuckey

Required Listening!

I work in the marriage industry, but the research can be dry and boring. I love how the Freeman’s break down the findings in an engaging way that’s easily digestible and applicable. Highly recommend for those in a relationship, be it married or not. Thank you, Freeman fam!
Lindsayengineer

Great advice and information!

I’ve only just started listening to the podcast and I’ve learned so much! I’m noticing things about myself that I didn’t realize before. Great listen!
momofgcm

so relatable!

i love your podcasts because they are so relateable and useful. being aware of our issues and listening to the podcasts to keep the info fresh on my mind is wonderful. thank you!
emgee08

So relatable! So applicable!

My husband and I are high school sweethearts with 4 kids, and have really benefitted from listening to episodes either together or on the same day and starting healthy conversations around the concepts! Even having known each other most of our lives, we are still learning healthy ways to strengthen our marriage, and this podcast and couples challenge have been great tools!!
Lizzie225402

😁

I love how these episodes have practical tips to help improve your marriage! They also do a good job at explaining concepts that completely apply to my husband and I, but we didn’t have the words to explain. The episode on What Men Need is a perfect example of this.
drimacus005

Great tips

Love listening weekly to get great tips to help my marriage!
Rios2.0

This Podcast changed my life!

This podcast is amazing, I love listening to the transparency and the real life practical steps to take to better my marriage. I would recommend this podcast to anyone married and for those that plan on getting married!
MonteDondik

Listen and Decide

Meaningful and significant is establishing fundamental groundwork for healthy conflict. Each person making these commitments and communicating as Aaron and Jocelyn discuss is a critical component to all conflict. Two gems in this podcast among many are “emotions are data” and “when you feel emotional overwhelm-listen more than you talk”. #decide
Lanceisgod

Beneficial

This podcast has been beneficial to me. It has allowed me to understand everything I’ve missed in my relationship. It helps me grow as a man everyday. Thank you guys!
Anne15!

Great podcast!

I love your podcast and find your ideas and insights very helpful. I look forward to each new episode and am excited to introduce some of your talked about practices to my husband.
mlvara83

Tynetina737

Sooooo helpful!!!

I LOVE your podcast!! It is so refreshing and helpful hearing your points of view, both from a man and woman’s perspective. You guys always have something valuable to add to the other’s comments/teachings. I swear your topics come on at the perfect time, just when I need to hear them. All of your info is so helpful, I listen often, and take notes when I’m able. I hope you guys help continue changing couple’s relationships for many years to come. You’re both the BEST!! Much love from Illinois.

Relatable Couples Conversation

I stumbled upon The Freemans on Instagram and signed up for a 30-day challenge after scrolling through their content. Now a follower, I thought I’d listen to their most recent podcast and wow! I was delighted by how relatable and refreshing they were. I immediately sent the podcast to my spouse because it was brief enough to get though while driving or doing chores, but provoking enough to inspire conversation. I can’t wait to learn more, and to strengthen my marriage… because love is commitment and intention every day 💍🤍🫶
HannaM2

Perfect supplement

This podcast is the perfect supplement to the making up and moving forward guide. It keeps everything at the top of my mind and I love sharing episodes with my husband. The Freeman’s are great at keeping things simple and give examples to improve our love life! I look forward to listening to every episode :)
Rachel Schirman

Useful insight for day to day life in my relationship

I’ve found this practical advice not only relatable but digestible and immediately useful in my day to day communications with my partner. I always look forward to the next episode to see what topic is being discussed next!
catherinereviewsapps

One can make a difference

My husband and I were/are struggling for years after babies came into our life. In January, baby #3 arrived. Shortly thereafter I started pumping and bottle feeding the baby, and so every night I had a bunch of pump parts and bottles to wash. I also started walking about 30 minutes per day. I found this podcast and 30 day challenge, and signed on myself. I've listened privately for 8 months now. They are extremely thoughtful and thought provoking. I do believe that my time spent listening to these podcasts has improved my relationship with my husband. I look forward to a time when we have time to listen together.
StEnIe55

Short and sweet

I love the Freeman’s podcasts, they are always short and to the point. I get a man and woman’s perspective of their practical information. I tend to listen first and then send the ones my husband can benefit from to him.
Pupster815

Realistic and doable advice

I’m a new follower and finding what I’ve heard in the podcasts has been realistic and doable advice. We are two full time working parents to two very busy kids. We are learning to make us a priority and what a difference in our lives it is making. Thanks for your work, all couples need to follow the Freeman’s.

Profound Insights

I stumbled across this podcast recently and have been devouring several episodes each day. The hosts are not only knowledgeable but incredibly relatable. They tackle complex relationship topics with a perfect blend of expertise and authenticity. I love all their practical tips and personal insights.
ADomanay

Invaluable marriage wisdom

I’ve been listening to The Freeman’s for about 6 months now. They are amazing. The amount of wisdom and knowledge they have is incredible and I have learned so much just by listening to the podcasts. Although my marriage has a long way to go until reconciliation and full healing, I know that God has us in his hands and it’s people like the Freeman’s that help along the way. Hoping for my husband and I to use the guides and read the book intentionally because I know it’s going to help! The 30 day couples challenge back in June helped a lot.
interiorpro

Wonderful marriage advise!

I regularly listen to the Freeman’s podcast for help with relationships. Their content is practical and illustrates views from both sides. I appreciate the wide variety of topics they cover, as well as the advise they present!
Megan199112

Excellent guidance!

I love listening to this podcast! Jocelyn and Aaron are a wealth of helpful relationship guidance and they give practical real life examples.

Love this podcast!

I love the modern approach to relationships in today’s world. The Freeman’s are relatable with their audience and are clear, concise & compassionate in the messaging through their podcasts.
Betzaida King

Love it!

Love the latest episode! It reminded me about those little things that as the years pass we tend to forget like wearing something different to bed to change things up.

Realistic Relationship

What a blessing to listen to a relationship podcast that is REALISTIC. I love the real life examples used that help me gain greater clarity on my interactions with my partner. This podcast has given me so many useful tips to deepen genuine connection that otherwise I may have missed. Thank you so much for this resource- it’s a game changer.

Everyday better

I enjoy this podcast because it’s snippets and ideas to make everyday better in your relationship. It’s practical and ideas I can put into practice right away. I have listened and gotten so many gold nuggets for over the past year.
Jess Sunshine Girl

Pushing Products

Annoyed at the teasing of info and not actually providing actionable info. They want to sell you on their guides and retreats … I get it but it’s too much and not enough value.
chacha3678906

Love Accout

I love listening to the Podcasts! Always positive, Jocelyn and Aron are so supportive in repairing relationships. We all need to hear what they are saying. We love making deposits to our Love account!
laurenfoster22

Amazing podcast other than the fact that…

Love this podcast! They have great insights and advice! My only qualm is that Aaron cuts Jocelyn off a lot and sometimes even says “no that’s not gonna work” after she gives a great analogy or thought. I’m not a huge fan of that and I would love to hear more from her.
JeSsIcA34567

Awesome advice

Great advice. Definitely helped my relationship and communication.
Tess D RN

Truly life changing!

I cannot express how much I LOVE the Freemans! I have been listening to their podcasts after originally coming across them on insta & I am hooked. I listen to them when I’m cleaning my house & everything they talk about is relatable, easy to digest, & is applicable in not only romantic relationships, but all relationships in general. I’m excited to keep listening & learning with the Freeman’s. Thank you for sharing with us!
mllove36

Full of hope and gratitude!

Jocelyn and Aaron provide so much amazing, relatable content! My husband and I recently found their resources and I can already feel the impact it has had. We now have the tools we need to keep moving forward. The Freemans have given me hope, hope that was lost a long time ago.
stephaniella22

SO good!

I cannot say enough good things about this podcast or the Freemans! I discovered their resources during a difficult time and found so much validation and reassurance. I really felt seen. The Freemans acknowledge challenges empathetically, but they also invite listeners to confront themselves and their partnership honestly. The topics are relatable, and the advice is inspiring yet practical. Thank you for this invaluable resource!
Lawolken

So Practical and Down to Earth

Absolutely love listening to this couple. Hearing their advice often just helps me keep the health of my marriage, and my behavior in our marriage top of kid. Easy to apply. Lots of Aha Moments. Easy to listen to. Started working with them in private couples session last year and couldn’t be happier with the outcome and the conversations my husband and I are having now because of their help.
navesinknicole

Educational Applicable and practical

Binge listen to multiple episodes per day so good
Prestonmusic

Modeling HOPE for a thriving relationship.

These two are the real deal. They live what they teach and are transparent about how their marriage works and doesn’t. It’s easy to fall into cynicism around love and connection sometimes… I really appreciate how the Freeman’s give practical advice and strategies with the mindset and principles that are the foundation for the actions. Stop what you’re doing and listen.
Bible Ereader

Thank you for investing in the lives of others.

Solid wisdom wrapped in practical application…We should never stop growing as a person or in relationships /marriage. This podcast offers sound advice - and is relatable even for those who’ve been married a while….THANK YOU!
Swaltwalt

Very helpful and poignant!

This podcast is super helpful and on the nose! There are many things that they talk about that I felt alone in and I felt so much better finding out it was an issue that many people deal with! Definitely listen!
Corinne Angelica

SO helpful!

I just started listening to this podcast and I can’t stop! They’re so relatable, give such awesome advice that not only helps you feel validated but also allows you to take steps to improve your relationship right away. Love it! Highly recommend!
GT Fan1

A relatable podcast for all ages!

Love this podcast! The Freemans present relatable topics in a clear and concise manner. We have been married for over 30 years, yet we always come away with nuggets of helpful, practical knowledge. Wish we would have been exposed to these tools years ago!
personal trainer mom

Practical advice with clear takeaway’s

My husband and I have been listening to the Freeman’s for a while. We will listen to an episode then discuss it together. They breakdown common relationship problems and give clear guidance on things to do. There advice is just so much more practical than other marriage podcasts. And I also think they hit other topics not commonly talked about, like intention versus impact.
JulieAashley

Listening for 2 yrs now!

I’ve been married 3 years now and The Freeman’s have provided so much valuable advice. I’m truly thankful because their podcasts really helped my husband and I navigate the first years of marriage. From learning our communication styles to learning how to argue in a healthy way has been extremely helpful. Can’t wait to hear all the valuable advice they will share as they enter a new phase in life as parents. There is so much to learn and love how easy they make it to understand! Thank you for supporting us couples and congratulations on baby Skye! 💛
