The Story Behind In Between the Speaks
"Who We Are"
Welcome to In Between the Speaks—where honest conversations live, love is redefined, and real-life relationships are given room to grow.We’re Arthur and Marie Howard, a husband-and-wife team passionate about helping couples bridge the emotional and communication gaps that often go unspoken. What started as late-night conversations on our own couch turned into a calling—a podcast that speaks directly to the spaces most couples avoid, misunderstand, or mishandle.Arthur is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Assistant Superintendent of Schools with years of experience counseling couples, men, and individuals through emotional disconnect, anxiety, and relationship burnout. Marie is a certified life coach, speaker, and minister who has mentored women through seasons of growth, grief, and transformation. Together, we bring both the clinical insight and the lived experience to help people heal, reconnect, and build love that lasts.Our podcast isn’t about perfection—it’s about process. Each episode pulls back the curtain on the conversations that shape relationships: miscommunication, unmet needs, intimacy issues, financial stress, forgiveness, identity, and more. Through heartfelt dialogue, practical tools, and spiritual wisdom, we walk with couples as they navigate the “in-between” moments—the ones that can either break a relationship or deepen it.This website was created as a hub for everything we offer: podcast episodes, book resources, coaching and counseling services, and details about our upcoming couples retreat, The Royal Connection. Whether you’re here to find hope, tools, or just know you're not alone—we’re honored to be part of your journey.Let’s rewrite what love looks like—together.
