Today’s episode is our season finale. We feel so grateful that so many of our friends and family have been tuning in every week, and listening to us and the episodes we thoughtfully prepared and recorded. It feels pretty surreal that we finally got to follow through with a dream that we’ve had for years…<3 Our hearts are full of love and gratitude for each of you!!!

This is a really fun episode where we very openly talk about the intimate relationships in our lives. Dalia shares and answers vulnerable questions about her marriage and her experience and thoughts on waiting till marriage to be sexually intimate. She also shares tools that have really helped nurture a healthy and loving marriage the last 10 years. Dina opens up about dating, and how she is implementing and practicing what she has learned along her journey having been married and divorced in her 20’s. We hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we did recording it. We got a little carried away so its a longer episode but since it’s our last one of the season we felt like it was needed. (;

We tried to be honest and respectful with this conversation and hope that you feel that in our words. Here are a few of the other things that we shared in this episode:

    •    Dalia references this podcast episode from Faith Matters called The God Who Waits. (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/faith-matters/id1307757928?i=1000757998475) - “To love is to be inherently vulnerable.”

    •    Here are some links to the books shared in this episode That We Might Have Joy (https://a.co/d/0iKEgWWk) by Jennifer Finlayson-Fife (JFF), Gift From the Sea (https://a.co/d/02Ta8SRp) by Anne Morrow Lindbergh, 8 Rules of Love (https://a.co/d/04e1zytU) by Jay Shetty.

    •    Here is a link to our episode on Spotify about how we nurture and navigate female friendships in our lives:

    •    The note Dalia read at the end of the episode to summarize the episode inspired by the work of JFF: “When two people are willing to grow, tell the truth, and stay present with each other, marriage/relationships become one of the most powerful places for joy, intimacy, and spiritual growth.”

    •    The quote shared from a video (https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8gLyvax/) Dalia saw by Maddi Castellano:

“Remember to marry a man who wants to be a husband and a father, not have someone who wants a wife and kids.”

We hope you have a gorgeous day and we will see you next season!! <3

Sending love always,

Dalia and Dina <3
