I Think I Love My Wife

In this episode (There is no playbook), I talk about the stress of navigating tough personal seasons while in a relationship and some of the personal growth required to be a good partner. I continue my conversation from episode 3 with a friend, who’s been recently married, and examine his journey towards marriage.

We discuss the importance of having support during extremely difficult personal times and struggles. We focus on what it means to really understand your partner in marriage and to be a leader of the household. We highlight the ongoing learning process that occurs and the challenges of not having proper examples growing up. We go deep on how tough situations (like losing your job) can affect your relationship. We also examine the ways pride can get in the way of asking for help and getting the support you need to move forward.

In this prelude episode, I introduce myself as your host and provide insight to the catalyst for creating the I Think I Love My Wife (ThinkLoveWife) podcast.

In my journey to seeking relationship advice, I realized how important it is to seek counsel from people that are currently married. It also made me realize the void there is when it comes to getting the perspectives of married men of color, especially married Black men.

My goal is to have honest, real, and authentic conversations with married men about relationships (the challenges they've faced and how they've overcome them), their journey to proposing, the pressures we put on ourselves as men, and those that come from societal norms and generational expectations. In this episode, I also explain the meaning behind the podcast's name, my intentions for this podcast, and the expected structure of it.
