Welcome to all Kate’s readers and listeners. As you can see, I love her too.

Thanks to an election season that just won’t quit, we thought the time might be right to do a series on the principles and practices of getting along. How do marriages stay solid? How can we inch closer to the perfect union politicians are always on about? How do parents and families make room for all kinds of children?

Here are our 3 favorite episodes from the series and below, you’ll see some of our top takeaways.

It’s a noisy world where useful ideas get screamed over by people who don’t always have our best interests centered in the frame. So, every Wednesday morning, a nice woman named Rachel makes sure I send out my list of takeaways pulled from the week’s podcast. So please, enjoy this weekly round up of things we’ve learned and want to integrate into our daily lives.
