In Episode 2 of This is Why We’re Late, we rewind to where it all began—saying “I do” at just 21 and 23. We share what it really looked like to build a marriage in the middle of our twenties while we were still figuring out who we were individually.

From navigating personal hardships in the early stages of our relationship to learning how to have the hard conversations most couples avoid, we talk honestly about the foundations that carried us through the ups and downs. We explore what it means to grow alongside your partner without losing yourself—and why placing unrealistic expectations on each other can quietly erode even the strongest love.

Seventeen years together and nearly twelve years married, we’re grateful for every lesson, failure, and growing pain. This episode is about building something that lasts—on purpose, through honesty, and with the courage to grow together.
