Two people who dated for a dozen years. Relationships. Babies. In-laws. Weddings. Losing friends, making friends. Not in that order, but we’re giving our takes ...
Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life.
Buckle up, because this week, we’re talking near-death experiences—the kind that make you rethink all your life choices… or at least laugh about them later. 😅
It all started when Matt took a dive off a ladder (yes, really) and ended up with a concussion. Turns out, March is Ladder Safety Awareness Month—coincidence? We think not. 🤕🤣 But that’s just the tip of the near-death iceberg.
We’re diving into wild personal stories, from close calls in car accidents to questionable college decisions (looking at you, gravity bongs), plus some insane Reddit tales that will make you double-check your seatbelt and maybe avoid sketchy ladders for a while.
💬 Got a near-death experience of your own? Drop it in the comments—we promise to gasp appropriately.

41: Travel Gone Wrong 2.0
Amy’s bestie Sarah Karl is back as we dive into the real side of travel—because let’s be honest, bringing kids means it's a trip, not a vacation. We’re talking about the joys (and challenges) of traveling with parents, the importance of having a solid friend crew to travel with, and, of course, some wild Reddit travel stories that will make you rethink your next trip.
From family traditions on the road to how the right travel buddies can make (or break) a vacation, this episode is packed with laughs, lessons, and maybe a few why-did-we-do-this moments.

40: Measure Twice, Argue Once
House projects: A true test of love, patience, and whether or not you’ll make it out still speaking to each other. From quick fixes that turn into weekend-long sagas to the ultimate challenge—building bunk beds without a meltdown, Matt and Amy dive into the reality of tackling projects as a couple.
Hanging curtains? Should’ve hired a professional.
Grocery runs? Why do we even have a list if we’re not following it?
Building a house? Maybe too much bonding time.
Bunk beds? Nothing like holding a power drill and biting your tongue at the same time.
Of course, we’re not alone—so we’re bringing in Reddit’s finest home project fails to remind us that at least we didn’t burn the house down (yet).
💬 What’s the dumbest home project fight you’ve had? Drop it in the comments—we won’t judge. Much.

39: Second Chances
Second chances – are they a blessing or a big ol’ mistake? In this episode of the Midwest Married Podcast, we dive deep into the messy, heartwarming, and sometimes straight-up chaotic world of giving people another shot. From stories of rekindled connections (and regrets ) to wild Reddit tales of love, betrayal, and redemption, this episode has it all.
Can people truly change? Is a second chance a fresh start or just round two of the same drama?
Let us know in the comments: Have you ever given someone a second chance? Did it end in happily ever after or total disaster?
