26 Years Married and He Says There's NO Secret (The Truth Hurts)
What does it really take to stay married for 26 years? In this episode of The Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down with entrepreneur Kailash for an honest, no-fluff conversation about love, commitment, and why most modern relationships fall apart before they ever get strong.
Kailash breaks down the difference between a SPRINT and a MARATHON in relationships - why chasing the spark keeps people single, why arranged love can outlast "falling in love," and the red-light test that quietly predicts divorce. If you're dating, engaged, married, or rebuilding after heartbreak, this one will shift how you see commitment.

Kailash· Guest0:11
