Gerard + Jessie Pepper have been partners in crime since 2005. Their relationship started over a clean pile of laundry, and now they dish about life, love and how to keep from losing your mind on a podcast called Marriage Is Funny. Gerard loves his day job as a financial actuary, and Jessie continues to build her career as a lifestyle expert and online brand at StyleAndPepper.com. They enjoy preaching and speaking whenever possible, are always happiest while hosting friends and family in their home, and love being enthusiastic pet-parents to a rescue pup named Sadie Mae.

  • Why they started a marriage podcast at the worst time in their marriage

  • Why they decided to be child free and why they opted to become foster parents instead
  • The beautiful gifts and intense challenges of hosting short term foster placement
  • The impact of foster parenting on their marriage
  • If fostering has shifted their perspective on having children of their own.
