The Couple's Classroom

Is living together before marriage a relationship "cheat code" or a recipe for disaster? In our fourth episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo dive into the reality of cohabitation in Singapore, a move that is often considered rare and sometimes even taboo.   It turns out, moving in reveals things a dinner date never could. From Hazelle’s absolute strike against doing the dishes to the realization that they have vastly different standards of hygiene, the couple exposes the habits that clashed the hardest. They discuss the "Trial Period," the daily adjustments required to share a space, and what living side-by-side truly revealed about their compatibility.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our third episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo dive into the "ultimate taboo" that breaks most couples: finances. It turns out, being a "Saver" and a "Spender" isn't just a personality trait, it’s a lifestyle clash. From the high-stakes stress of a wedding budget to the awkward reality of who picks up the check at dinner, we’re breaking down the numbers. We even get into the "Great Angbao Debate" and how James’s pragmatic saving habits balance out Hazelle’s "treat yourself" philosophy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is age really just a number, or does society make it a problem? In our second episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo tackle the 6-year age gap that everyone seems to have an opinion on. It turns out, going public wasn't all celebrations, from social media trolls accusing Hazelle of just wanting "fresh meat," to James realizing he had to level with his own maturity to win over her parents and keep up with her success.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our first episode, James Wong and Hazelle Teo get honest about the messy shift from "just interested" to 100% committed.
