This week, we’re bringing the spice with our hottest takes on all things marriage! From separate bank accounts and family holidays to pooping in front of your spouse (yep, we went there!), nothing is off-limits. Whether you’re newlywed, engaged, or just curious how other couples do life together, this episode is full of laughs, honesty, and real-life wisdom. We also dive into a little thrifting chat, Halloween plans, and our love for Marshall’s. Get ready to laugh with us, nod along, and maybe even rethink a few things in your own marriage!
