The Wedding Chaplain Podcast
Podcast Description:
The Wedding Chaplain Podcast exists to help couples prepare for more than a beautiful wedding day—it prepares you for a beautiful marriage.
Hosted by Dr. David Anderson, a minister with more than 1,800 weddings of experience. He is a pastor, counselor, author, and podcast host. This show serves as a practical, encouraging, and honest “premarital boot camp” for couples who want to build something strong, intentional, and lasting.
If you are engaged, seriously dating, or newly married, you will find clear guidance and real-world wisdom on communication, expectations, conflict, emotional and spiritual connection, family dynamics, and the habits that shape healthy marriages. Each episode blends expert insight with warmth, humor, and pastoral care, equipping you to navigate the everyday challenges and joys of marriage with confidence.
You will also hear conversations with long-married couples, wedding professionals, venues, vendors, mental health counselors, and fellow pastors and chaplains who bring their own stories and perspectives to the journey.
Whether you are planning your ceremony, preparing for premarital counseling, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, The Wedding Chaplain Podcast offers a steady, trustworthy voice to guide you toward a marriage marked by purpose, grace, and lifelong commitment.

Rev. Dr. David Anderson has walked over 1800 couples to their wedding day. And he wants to share that journey with you. This podcast is a boot camp or education for engaged couples preparing for their wedding day. Preparing for marriage and getting ready for a wedding are two separate things. We want you to have healthy marriages and perfect wedding ceremonies.
In this episode of The Wedding Chaplain Podcast, David Anderson talks with Dr. Laura Sicola about one of the most important foundations of a healthy marriage: communication.
Dr. Sicola is a leadership communication and influence coach, author of Speaking to Influence: Mastering Your Leadership Voice, host of the podcast Speaking to Influence: Communication Secrets of the C-Suite, and a TEDx speaker whose talk is titled “Want to Sound Like a Leader?” Start by Saying Your Name Right has been viewed millions of times. In addition to her work with leaders, executives, and organizations, Dr. Sicola and her husband also lead communication workshops for engaged and married couples in churches throughout the Philadelphia region.
This conversation helps engaged couples think carefully about the way they use words, tone, body language, and listening as they prepare for marriage. Wedding planning often brings major decisions, family expectations, financial conversations, and emotional pressure to the surface. Dr. Sicola explains how couples can communicate with more clarity, confidence, respect, and connection in the middle of those conversations.
David and Laura also discuss the gap between what one person thinks they said and what the other person actually heard, how small communication habits can create closeness or tension, and why healthy communication before marriage can shape the daily rhythm of married life.
Whether you are engaged, newly married, or simply wanting to communicate better with the person you love, this episode offers practical wisdom for building trust one conversation at a time.
