Mark Adderley and Nadia Sawalha dive headfirst into the complexities of marriage in this candid episode of 'How To Stay Married (So Far)'. With humour and honesty, they tackle sensitive topics like mental health, vulnerability, and the dynamics of gender roles within relationships.

Nadia, on the other hand, reflects on her own experiences and struggles with vulnerability, shedding light on the emotional layers that often accompany marriage. Their conversation is peppered with anecdotes about everyday life – from battling chia seeds to dealing with coffee machines – adding a relatable touch to the heavier themes discussed.
