Listen Later

Welcome to Season 3 of Single You the podcast. I started this podcast in August of 2020, thank you for every listen, every review, every DM & every share. You have helped me stay consistent.

Now let's get into the tea of S16 E5 & E6 of the reality show "Married at first sight": Marry Me in Tennessee, Nashville. What can we learn from the behaviors of these 3 couples? What behaviors do we not want to execute in our own dating lives?

Statistic; "Married At First Sight" Has Matched 59 Couples So Far — 15 couples are living happily ever after since the cameras stopped rolling. That's 25.4% of staying married. LESS than finding someone to marry on your own. (source)

Points were made;

  • 2:56 Dominique & Mackinley. Are they really meant for each other? Red Flags we see. 
  • 4:52 How much is trying to change for someone at our detriment? 
  • 6:50 Do opposites truly attract? Is that a good or a bad thing? 
  • 11:32 How often do you try to be someone your partner will like? 
  • 14:39 Fast launch or slow burn when it comes to this show and making it to decision day.
  • 16:52 Jasmine & Airris. Red flag that he's never been in love and he's 39? 
  • 26:10 Would Dr. T tell Jasmine to pack it up and go or wait it out? 

    • More discussion on the following; 

    • How I see love very differently now at 39 vs. 22. 
    • What questions should we be asking about sex? 
    • Should we be that honest when it comes to our attraction to our partner? 
    • Shaquille & Kirsten. What does all that complaining mean for Shaq? 
    • Can attraction grow? Can we date someone long term we aren't attracted to? 
    • Why I no longer say "this is God" especially when it comes to men.

      The first two seasons of “Single You” have been about the journey into a toxic, abusive relationship and the journey out and into healing. They served a specific purpose and those shows will always be there.

      Now it’s time to pivot; I want to go on a journey of proving that a marriage can be healthy, people can be happy but it all depends on the truth we tell to ourselves and the work we do.

      I speak to the Black woman of faith who desires to be married. Who wants to date with intention.
