The Anatomy of Marriage

The Anatomy of Marriage is a candid and practical podcast hosted by married couple Seth and Melanie Studley, who use their own experiences as a foundation for exploring the real challenges and joys of married life. Each episode tackles common marriage issues — from communication breakdowns and financial stress to intimacy challenges and parenting disagreements — with honesty, humor, and a genuine desire to help other couples build stronger relationships. What makes the show unique is that Seth and Melanie are not therapists but a real couple sharing what they have learned through their own marriage journey, including the difficult seasons that tested their commitment and the breakthroughs that strengthened their bond. They regularly invite marriage counselors, therapists, and other experts onto the show to provide professional perspectives alongside their own personal insights. The podcast covers the full lifecycle of marriage, from the honeymoon phase and the adjustment period of early marriage to the challenges of raising children together and keeping romance alive through the busy middle years. Their authentic, unpolished approach has resonated deeply with listeners who appreciate hearing from a couple that is genuinely working on their relationship in real time.
