In this episode, recorded during their anniversary celebration, Chris and Richelle Alessi dive deep into the myth and reality of “opposites attract” in marriage, sharing candid stories from their own journey.

From awkward first encounters and hilarious miscommunications to learning how to process conflicts and celebrate opposing personality traits, they reveal how their differences have shaped their relationship—and sometimes challenged it.
