When I tied the knot, I wasn't handed a magical manual for a blissful marriage—just a state-issued pamphlet as thin as my patience with bureaucracy. Let's tear that pamphlet apart as we navigate the precarious, but often rewarding, landscapes of marriage and family dynamics. With a mix of humor and seriousness, Scott and I dissect the inadequacies of one-size-fits-all solutions and propose a more personalized support system for newlyweds. We don’t shy away from the thorny subjects, like the correlation between religiosity and divorce rates, and whether faith-based premarital counseling is the glue for marital longevity or simply societal pressure in disguise.

Have you ever wondered if the controversial speech of public figures can do more than just ruffle feathers? Can it actually affect our collective mental health? We break down the balance between free speech and protecting the public's mental psyche, using contemporary examples to stir the pot. And, inspired by Andrew Yang's innovative policy ideas, we examine the prospect of free, secular marital counseling networks. But that's not all—financial planning and division of labor also make the cut as we share methods for couples to manage their resources cooperatively.

The concept of 'moments' might just be the secret ingredient for sustaining intimacy in a marriage. From daily check-ins to monthly surprises, we suggest a framework for building a deeper connection with your significant other. We then wade into the turbulent waters of infidelity, considering how psychologists and married individuals perceive adultery differently. Scott and I don't hold back as we discuss the complexities of emotional co-regulation, attachment theory, and even propose the idea of a secular, free marital counseling network in California. Tune in for an episode that's like a heart-to-heart with an old friend—honest, sometimes raw, but always with your best interests at heart.
