In this heartfelt and energetic episode of the Weaponized Marriage Podcast, Dr. Ryan and Kendra Hewitt reflect on their recent kid-free trip to Spain and why building fun into your marriage is essential at every stage. Sharing stories from their Mediterranean wedding adventure, cultural insights, and a few laugh-out-loud moments, the Hewitts dive deep into how travel, spontaneity, and breaking routine can breathe life back into a relationship.

From dancing until 4 a.m. at a multilingual wedding to rediscovering how rest doesn't always mean relaxation, Dr. Ryan and Kendra explore how stepping outside your daily patterns helps you see each other, and yourself, more clearly. Kendra shares raw reflections on how her younger self used to define success and how travel gave her fresh perspective. Dr. Ryan unpacks what happens when you take a break from your normal rhythm and discover what’s actually serving your marriage… and what’s not.

They also touch on:

• How fitness and health enable meaningful shared experiences as you age
  

• The difference between a trip and a vacation (and why both matter)
  

• Why waiting for the “right time” might mean never making memories at all
  

• How even small getaways can spark deeper conversations, creativity, and connection

In this episode of The Weaponized Marriage Podcast, Dr. Ryan and Kendra Hewitt unpack the real rhythms, decisions, and priorities behind staying physically fit as a married couple in their 40s. They go beyond “five health tips” and talk about real-life: busy schedules, hormonal shifts, sex, energy, parenting, and what it actually takes to build a strong body and stronger partnership.

Dr. Ryan shares his expertise on fitness programming, training pyramids, and strength-based longevity, while Kendra opens up about her evolving approach to nutrition, metabolism, and the emotional labor women face. Together, they talk about how they’ve aligned their values, schedules, and environments to support each other in health, without losing intimacy, connection, or joy.

Key Takeaways:

• Couples who train together, stay together. It starts with respecting and planning each other’s fitness time.
  

• Strength training is non-negotiable for long-term energy, metabolism, and sex drive.
  

• Meal prep and macros aren’t militant: they’re marriage tools that foster teamwork and sustainability.
  

• Sleep, scheduling, and alcohol boundaries matter more than willpower.

Many women carry silent resentment in marriage, not because they want control, but because they’ve had to take it. In this episode of The Weaponized Marriage, Dr. Ryan and Kendra Hewitt unpack a viral Instagram post that ignited deep conversation around polarity, leadership, resentment, and emotional safety in relationships.

They explore why so many women feel exhausted, unseen, and emotionally starved, and how men can unintentionally contribute to their wives' disconnection, not through malice, but by abdicating leadership in key areas like emotional presence, household dynamics, and communication. This episode doesn’t just diagnose the problem, it offers insight into how couples can rebuild trust, shift roles, and co-create a vision for their marriage.

Key Takeaways:

• Emotional neglect can show up in subtle but destructive ways, often mistaken for disinterest or burnout.
  

• Men must take ownership of leadership in faith, family, fitness, and finances to create safety and polarity.
  

• Women often don't want to lead, they're just tired of doing it alone.
  

• Simple, consistent actions, not grand gestures, build connection and trust.

"You can’t feed a woman neglect and expect her to glow. You either nurture her soul or watch her disappear." – Kendra Hewitt
