Questions Answered...What Happens After "I Do"?

Marriage in Real Life

Send us a text

Marriage doesn't come with a manual, but our season three finale delivers something just as valuable: raw, honest answers to your most pressing relationship questions.
What does it truly mean to keep God at the center of your marriage beyond Sunday service? We explore practical approaches like praying together, studying scripture as a team, and serving others—creating a spiritual foundation that withstands life's inevitable challenges. For couples navigating parenthood, we offer counter-intuitive wisdom: scheduling one-on-one time with each child actually creates more space for your marriage to flourish. The tactical advice ranges from utilizing bedtime routines to finding trusted childcare so you can nurture your relationship without guilt.
Relationship routines can slowly suffocate even the strongest marriages. We discuss why intentional spontaneity matters and how to break patterns before stagnation sets in. Drawing from 33 years of experience, we share how faith shapes conflict resolution, teaching us patience and forgiveness when disagreements arise. Our conversation takes a thoughtful turn when examining what we learned from marriages we witnessed growing up—and how those observations shaped our own relationship journey.
When discussing advice for newlyweds, we don't sugarcoat the reality: marriage requires commitment beyond the wedding day. As one viewer perfectly stated, "Accept that you made the decision, now work on making it the right decision." Our candid discussion of Tyler Perry's film "Straw" highlights the struggles of single parents and the importance of community support, especially for women carrying heavy burdens alone.
Join us for this intimate conversation, and stay tuned for our upcoming projects: Lady P's new podcast "Let's Talk About It" launches June 23rd, focusing on women's perspectives regardless of relationship status. Like, share, and subscribe as we prepare for season four with more authentic conversations about navigating marriage in real life.
