"Me Time & We Time: Why It Matters" — In this episode of The Parley Podcast, Pastor Josh and Lady J break down one of the biggest fights couples keep having: the balance between needing space and needing each other.

Whether you're newly dating or decades into marriage, the tension between "me time" and "we time" isn't a sign something's broken — it's a rhythm to learn. We're getting honest about:

• Why "I need space" isn't rejection
• How much alone time is healthy (and when it's hiding something)
• Practical ways to protect your "we time" without losing yourself
• What the Word actually says about rest, oneness, and serving each other

The Parley Podcast is where the sermon ends and we begin — real talk about relationships, life, and faith for the culture.

Not perfect. Mature. There's a difference.

• The signs you're ignoring because they're cute
