About this listen

💡 Falling in love is easy. Staying in love — that's the daily choice that makes relationships thrive.

In this episode of Saying Yes Again, Dr. Lisa and Tony dive into what it really means to "say yes again" — not just once at the altar, but every single day. With warmth, humor, and honesty, they unpack the small, practical choices that keep love alive: patience, grace, communication, and laughter (yes, even when socks are on the floor).

✨ You'll hear:

  • Why lasting love is built on everyday decisions, not grand gestures.

  • Simple practices for recommitting to your partner daily.

  • Real stories — tender from Lisa, witty from Tony — about what choosing love looks like in real life.
