Andy and Dana Masters were never supposed to work. When they met in L.A. 17 years ago, this singer-songwriter from South Carolina and trainee minister from rural Co. Down, Northern Ireland, didn't get on well – with Andy's jokes not quite landing with Dana. But humour not translating across cultures was just one of the obstacles to overcome. When they started dating, they quickly realised they were opposite in (almost) every way.

But despite opposing personality types and backgrounds on different sides of the Atlantic, they have been able to build a relationship that has grown and thrived through everything that life has thrown at them.

They share the one thing they have in common that keeps them united despite their differences, how they navigate a cross-cultural relationship and how they've developed habits in their relationship which protect the values they care most strongly about.

How do we make relationships work in the face of everything life throws at us, in a culture where it feels like everything is against commitment and long-term love?

Every episode, two couples share honest relationship stories about their best and worst moments together - revealing how they survived relationship challenges, what they learned, and how their couples advice could benefit us all.

Featuring deep conversations about real relationships that don't hide the hard stuff, this couples podcast is for anyone seeking relationship advice, wants to hear authentic love stories, or simply loves love.
