“This video made me smile ear-to-ear. Some couples aren’t ready to hear what Ramit has to say, but clearly this conversation came at the perfect time. They were so excited. What a breath of fresh air!”

“These two are THE POSTER COUPLE. Holy crap. Wow. Their communication, their self-awareness, their ability to absorb, comprehend and pivot. Damn. 👏👏 Ramit, if only we could all be such good students! GREAT episode!”
