Everyone leaves the temple holding hands. A temple matron told Jenny Oaks Baker this, and it stuck. When you grow closer to God, you grow closer together. That principle has anchored 27 years of marriage. In this episode of the Epic Marriage podcast, hosts Nick and Alex Leyva sit down with Jenny Oaks Baker, a Grammy-nominated violinist, and her husband Matt Baker, a CEO who manages both his company and logistics for Jenny's national tours.

Nick and Alex Leyva sit down with Dr. Chelom Leavitt, a sex researcher and associate professor at BYU who has spent her career helping couples understand sexuality as something sacred, not taboo. Married for 36 years with nine children, Dr. Leavitt teaches that strong marriages don't happen by accident—they happen through daily intentional commitment.

Nick and Alex Leyva celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Family Proclamation by unpacking Elder Ronald A. Rasband's recent General Conference talk. Discover the untold story of how President Russell M. Nelson led the committee that drafted this document, why it was first shared at a Relief Society meeting, and what the gender roles actually me

Nick and Alex Leyva unpack what makes temple marriage truly epic in this second episode. Moving beyond the checkbox mentality of just getting sealed, they explore the restored truths in the Family Proclamation that protect covenant relationships. Temple marriages have a 12-14% divorce rate compared to 63% for the general population ages 20-40. But sealing alone isn't enough. The Leyva's walk through the three core truths restored through modern prophets: eternal identity, pre-mortal existence, and the plan of salvation. These aren't just doctrines; they're the foundation that helps couples build marriages that last. Nick's mission experience teaching a Buddhist convert who realized he was a prince and Alex's struggle with numbing out to familiar truths both show why knowing you're a child of God changes everything about how you approach marriage. The proclamation isn't just a document on the wall; it's the roadmap for creating something that defeats death itself. Follow Epic Marriage: Website: https://YourEpicMarriage.com
