You’re My Favorite Person | Scott & LaRae Wright on 14 Years of Marriage, Partnership & Personal Growth

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary and reflect on the marriage, growth, and deep partnership they have built together. Married on the fall equinox in an aspen grove above Park City, Utah, they revisit the symbolism that surrounded their wedding and explore how their relationship has become a place for self-discovery, curiosity, emotional safety, creativity, and becoming more fully themselves.

Scott and LaRae also open up about the parts of marriage that required real change—from career transitions and co-parenting to unhealthy coping mechanisms, communication patterns, and the runner-and-chaser dynamic they had to recognize and reshape. They discuss why partnership can become a mirror for unfinished inner work, what it means to be someone’s safe place, letting go of the need to be right, and the simple but powerful realization that after 14 years of marriage, they are still each other’s favorite person.
