Today in episode 12 of Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew, we walk you through what we do each month with each other - check ups.

See if it has an affect on your relationship. We'd love to hear what you guys think of it.  If you haven't yet, please rate and subscribe to the show to hear more!

Today in episode 10 of Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew, we sit down with our good friends Madilyn Bailey & Jimmy Benrud. This was a fun one guys. We've known both Jimmy & Madilyn for over 3 years now, and it was such a pleasure to catch up with them. Madilyn Bailey is a pop singer and songwriter originally from a small Wisconsin town, now residing in Los Angeles. Over the last ten years, Madilyn has worked hard to foster a community of nearly 10 M fans (6.5M on YouTube alone) of her and her powerful voice. We talk about advice they received from a couple in a nursing home, how Madilyn gets to be creative for 8 hours a day, and how Jimmy manages all of the behind the scenes of her business - all while still maintaining a successful relationship. We both learned a lot from them and can't wait to see where they go from here. Tune in for an exciting one, Jimmy & Madilyn.   You'll hear us tease it in the episode, but Madilyn has a song coming out soon, Wisconsin, so stay tuned for more details on that! We can't wait for you guys to hear just how amazing this song is.

Today in episode 9 of Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew, we sit down to talk about the exes in our life and how they’ve shaped us into the people we are today. This was a tricky one, we aren’t gonna lie. Sitting down and talking about previous failed relationships is never easy, but as you’ll hear, we both think it’s important to revisit these moments instead of erasing them. And in the end, we’re incredibly thankful for the lessons we learned prior to meeting each other. We encourage you to listen closely on this one. Let us know what you think.  And of course, a huge thanks to Lauren for submitting the topic!  If you haven't yet, please rate and subscribe to the show to hear more!
