What Have 100 Episodes Taught Us About Marriage? (EP100)

Most podcasts don’t even make it past episode 10, but here we are. Welcome to the 100th episode of Change the Odds, the podcast dedicated to proving that marriage and family were never meant to be a game of chance. In this special milestone episode, host Kevin A. Thompson reunites with favorite recurring hosts Blaine and Adrienne Neufeld to look back on the journey so far, share a few laughs (and questionable singing voices), and look ahead to the future of the show. From the concepts that have truly transformed marriages—like attachment styles, the "window of tolerance," and triangulation—to why couples assume their experience is everyone's experience, the crew dives deep into what makes a relationship last. Plus, Kevin shares a wild, never-before-told story about a speaking gig in Seattle where he was literally rushed on stage. ⏱️ Key Moments & Timestamps 0:00 – Reunited and it feels so good!
