THE RELATIONSHIP PODCAST THAT CHOOSES TRUTH OVER COMFORT
SCROLL
ABOUT THE SHOW
Married With Benefits is a relationship podcast and community created by Brittany and Colby Richardson, where we drop the script and get real.
At the heart of it, our voice is authentic and unpolished in the best way, so listeners feel like they’re sitting at the table with us, not being lectured. Our journey from friends with benefits to Married With Benefits is rooted in honesty, love, and growth, and along the way we’ve tackled questions that shaped our own relationship—like Is Marriage Worth It?, Can Marriages Survive Without Brutal Honesty?, and Tradition or Tension: The Holiday Dilemma.
MORE THAN A PODCAST
Married With Benefits is a community built on raw connection, honest conversation, and authentic love, reminding us all that we don’t walk through life alone.
EPISODES
Join us for bi-weekly conversations and mini motivational pep talks on relationships, marriage, family, and of course, the tough stuff. Because Netflix doesn’t cover this stuff.
MEET THE HOSTS
We’re Colby and Brittany — the couple behind Married With Benefits.
We both grew up in Rowlett, Texas, just outside of Dallas. We met at 16 in high school, friends, then more than friends, then on and off for years, and eventually found our way back to each other. Today, after seven years of marriage, ten years of parenting, and two daughters who keep us on our toes, we’re 38 and still learning each other in real time.
Our story has never been traditional. We became parents before we became husband and wife, and somewhere between growing up and growing together, we realized something important: most people are quietly fighting for their relationships and their sense of self, and almost no one is talking about it honestly.
That’s why we started Married With Benefits. Not for likes or clout, but because we felt a pull we ignored for years. We tried focusing on careers. We tried staying comfortable. We kept our story private. But purpose has a way of chasing you down. Eventually, we stopped running.
OUR RELATIONSHIP STORY ISN’T PERFECT AND THAT’S THE POINT
If you’re still reading this, you belong here. You don’t need a perfect marriage or all the answers. You just need the desire for better, for yourself, your relationship, and your family.
Colby spent nearly a decade as a high-producing IT recruiter, but his real calling has always been people: pushing them to see their potential, lead with purpose, and stop avoiding the hard truths.
Brittany is the grounding force, a sharp observer, a gentle challenger, and the balance to Colby’s intensity. She brings clarity to chaos and heart to the heavy moments.
