Prime Marriage Podcast

We are Chris and Brandi Futrell and we are here to have conversations about marriage. Are we qualified couple therapists? Nope. We are pretty disfunctional ourselves at times. We don't have everything figured out, but we invite you into the conversation as we discuss what has worked for us and may help you too!
