In this episode, Willie Moore Jr. interviews gospel singer Canton Jones about navigating loss and grief in marriage. Canton shares the story of how he unexpectedly lost his father and later his mother while trying to balance his music career and family life. He explains how his wife Mona was instrumental in supporting him emotionally through the mourning process when he felt like he was drowning. Canton emphasizes the importance of a spouse using affirming words to remind their partner of who they are in the midst of grief. He also discusses learning to communicate more openly with his wife about his vision and plans rather than assuming she'll just follow along. Throughout their 23 years of marriage, they've had to establish guidelines like no venting about their relationship to others and not walking away from arguments. Canton transparently shares his journey of realizing he needs his wife, not just wants her, and having her handle parts of his business forced him to value her role. He encourages men not to compare their spouse to others and to instead focus on figuring out their own dynamic. Canton advises that couples who build a life woven together from the beginning have an advantage over those who come into marriage as "two whole bricks."
