The host of A Fight Worth Fighting: A Marriage and Family Podcast has a lot of examples of good marriages in her life. Amanda Borrego-Perea's parents are still married. Her grandparents were still together before they passed. In addition, her dad is one of six siblings, and they are all in happy partnerships that seem only to get better. This is all good news. But it also made Amanda feel like she was alone when she started having issues in her relationship.
When Amanda entered what she calls "a hard season" with her husband, she thought they weren't going to make it. She presumed that no one else was fighting in their partnerships. However, one girls' night out with her cousins, aunts, and mom taught her otherwise.
That evening, she heard stories about the struggles her family members were dealing with. Amanda learned that every single woman in that group had fights. Every wife had low moments with her spouse, and they all had to overcome differences. Moreover, those struggles made their relationships stronger and made them last longer. This gave Amanda remarkable comfort. It also gave her an idea for the A Fight Worth Fighting podcast.
A Fight Worth Fighting: A Marriage and Family Podcast has a simple mission. It's a place for Amanda to expand on the advice from that girls' night. It's a platform for Amanda to consult with her elders. It's where she tries to get the best guidance about intimacy, parenting, managing a household, and more. In some episodes, Amanda talks to her divorced friends about what they learned in the process. In another episode, she asks a husband in a long-term marriage about the importance of sex. She touches on everything from postpartum depression to pornography. There is no topic off limits when it comes to marital life. Her goal is to make her listeners feel less alone in their marital struggles.
