A Transformative Journey Through Modern Relationships

About the Podcast

Life is Hard – Marriage is Easy is a groundbreaking podcast that expands upon the revolutionary concepts introduced in the bestselling book of the same name. Each episode offers listeners an intimate, unfiltered exploration of what it truly means to build a resilient marriage in an increasingly complex world.

Hosted by Kerry Michael St. Martin and his wife, who have weathered life’s storms together, the podcast goes beyond surface-level relationship advice. It tackles the fundamental paradox at its core: while modern life presents unprecedented challenges—career uncertainty, financial pressure, social media comparisons, family obligations, and struggles with personal identity—marriage doesn’t have to add to that burden. Instead, when approached with intention and understanding, it becomes the anchor that makes everything else manageable.

The show features candid conversations, expert interviews, listener stories, and practical exercises that transform abstract relationship principles into actionable strategies. Whether you’re newlyweds navigating your first major conflict, long-term partners feeling disconnected, or somewhere in between, this podcast meets you where you are with empathy, wisdom, and hope.

What sets this podcast apart is its refusal to sugarcoat reality. The hosts acknowledge that marriage requires a God-driven purpose, positive reinforcement, and mindset and behavioral traits that yield success. But they also demonstrate that this work doesn’t have to be complicated. The principles are simple—it’s the application during difficult times that challenges us. Through storytelling, research-backed insights, and transparent discussions about their own relationships, the podcast creates a space where listeners feel less alone and more equipped to strengthen their partnerships.
