What if 20 minutes a day could change the direction of your marriage?

In Episode 278 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra introduce the Daily Debrief, a simple, intentional conversation that helps couples process the day, release emotional residue, and move into tomorrow with clarity and hope.

This practice helps couples:

• Identify daily wins and losses without blame.

• How a short daily check-in builds long-term emotional safety.
• What it means to be your spouse’s safest ally.
• How to give each other hope at the end of the day.
