Every couple has that moment — the first real disagreement that makes you think, “Wait… this is marriage?”In this episode, we talk about the reality of first conflicts after the honeymoon season fades. Whether it’s about money, in-laws, cleaning, or how you spend your free time, disagreements are inevitable — but they don’t have to be destructive.I’ll share insights on how couples can learn to fight fair: listening to understand instead of trying to “win,” pausing before reacting, and remembering you’re on the same team — even when emotions run high. We’ll also unpack how to recover after your first real clash — how to apologize meaningfully, reconnect, and move forward stronger instead of bitter.Because the truth is, the strength of a marriage isn’t measured by how few arguments you have, but by how you handle them.Listen in if:You’ve had your first big fight and wondered if that’s normal.You’re learning how to communicate without blowing up.You want to turn conflict into connection, not resentment.🎙️ Love doesn’t mean never fighting — it means learning how to fight right.

Want to avoid a lifetime of arguments over dishes and laundry? This episode is for you. We're diving into the "bedrock of marriage"—the division of chores and responsibilities. While it's ideal to have these talks early, life happens. So whether you're starting out or already deep in the trenches, we'll give you the tools to approach this topic with awareness and avoid unnecessary conflict.

Let's talk about what happens when the honeymoon phase is done and you are wondering how to keep the romance top notch despite the realities of a snoring spouse or morning breath that isn't bearable. What you do in such scenarios and in this phase may well determine how best you handle your marriage. If you have any questions or things you would like me to talk about please reach me on daisyoketcho@gmail.com

The honeymoon phase doesn’t last forever—one day it’s candlelit dinners, the next it’s arguing about who left the toothpaste cap off. Add in one partner being a night owl and the other an early bird, and suddenly “happily ever after” looks more like “compromise ever after.” In this episode, we dive into the real side of marriage after the glow fades: navigating routines, quirks, and those small but oh-so-loud differences that can either break you or make you laugh together.Question:When the honeymoon glow wore off in your relationship, what little differences or habits surprised you the most?

Marriage is beautiful, but let’s be real — it’s also messy, surprising, and sometimes downright hard.I’m Daisy Rema, newly married and learning on the go. This podcast is my space to talk openly about the highs, lows, and hilarious in-betweens of life after “I do.” From communication struggles to money talks, from family dynamics to keeping the spark alive, I share the real challenges most couples face but rarely talk about out loud.This isn’t expert advice or a fairy-tale version of marriage — it’s raw reflections, lessons I’m still learning, and stories that remind us we’re not alone. Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes I’ll bring in guests, but always it’s honest, relatable, and filled with hope.So, if you’ve ever wondered what marriage really looks like beyond the wedding photos, tune in. Let’s laugh, reflect, and grow through the journey — one episode at a time.

This episode is about the mystery of God's promise. God assures us in Isaiah 55 that's rain comes down on the earth, and causes seeds to grow until they are able to produce seed for a farmer to plant and bread to eat. Now, he relates this to his promise that just as the rain and snow came down and cause food to be given to people, so his word will not turn to him for it. Imagine that, imagine He's saying that His promise will come to pass. Trust in Him. This episode is just looking at that particular mystery. What I got to know was amazing, mind blowing, can't wait to share with y'all.
