Marriage hopeful single

This series is so powerful... Having gone through a long term relationship but not quite making it the whole way and blaming most of the strife on my Ex this series opened me up to a lot of realities I had been thinking about but not really sat to disect and digest. Loved it so much I wish there were more topics of life like adultung, parenting, financial futures, friendships mental health, all the good stuff done in the most beautiful way

Beware listening to episode 10 while in public

Because it had me crying like a little baby. What a thought provoking, eye opening, entertaining, and ultimately beautiful series about love.

Biggest take away

“You only really need a wedding if you shouldn’t have one and you only need to get married if you don’t need to”. This really hit home because for the longest time i thought i never wanted to get married, when in fact i just don’t want to get married just to prove something.

Interesting Views on Marriage

This was a series about marriage and various stages including: the wedding, living together, sex, money, divorce and even death. It left out one major option, the decision to have kids. This just assumed like most that everyone wants kids and the option not to would never come up. I consider that a major issue since the presenter claimed he was presenting varied viewpoints. It included comments from real couples and experts on relationships.

Valuable insight and perspective

I really enjoyed this podcast and I think it’s a valuable listen for all married people or people in a long term relationship. No matter what your relationship looks like you’ll find something to relate to.
