In this week's episode, we're busting 10 common marriage myths and talking about what actually makes a relationship thrive. Does getting married make everything easier? Do happy couples never fight? Will kids really bring you closer?

We're pulling back the curtain on some of the most widely held beliefs about marriage and sharing what we've learned as an interracial couple. We'll get real about the hard work, the missteps, and the intentional effort it takes to build a strong partnership.

Join us as we talk about:

• The truth about fighting, romance, and date nights

• Why your partner shouldn't be "your everything"

• The importance of setting boundaries with in-laws

• Why every marriage, even a good one, can benefit from therapy

• How love is a verb, not just an effortless feeling
