Got some sh!t to say?

Husbands Aaron and Liam (@taleoftwokings) are this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals, as they are probably the most inspirational couple we’ve highlighted in a very long time. These two have so much love between them and it is so refreshing and exciting to experience via social media. If you have a moment, give them a follow and a few double taps to show them some love. Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about a common partnered experience: cuddling. How important is cuddling to your relationship? And, is cuddling the prelude or finale to intimacy with your partner? Finally, the guys bring you the April edition of Listener Sh!tuations.

Husbands, Corey and Jeffrey (@therosehubbys), are this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals. This recently-married couple can only be described in one word: OPULENCE!

Then, Marko and Tony sit around the Critable to talk about nitpicking and how detrimental it can be to a relationship. What are the underlying reasons a person would find it necessary to nitpick their partner’s actions? And, is there an effective way to get your message across without nagging on nitpicking? Listen in on the guys’ experiences and solutions to this common relationship issue.

This week, Marko and Tony are heading over to New Zealand to highlight and celebrate the relationship of Waldo and Wynand (@wwhusband), this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals. This couple is every bit of loving and into one another and we just can’t get enough! Check out (and get inspired by) their PDA-palooza, and let them know the Critellis sent you. Then, Marko and Tony sit down to talk about kids … or more specifically, how difficult it is for gays and lesbians to have kids when they decide they want to. Should it be so challenging for those that want to be parents, to become parents? How do we give gays a better chance at being dads?  Then, the guys are joined at the virtual Critable by last week’s #QRG, Blake and Matthew (@blakeandmatthew) to talk about their relationship, its inception, and the journey to becoming the parents they’ve always wanted to be.

We are absolutely obsessed with this week’s #QueerRelationshipGoals, husbands Wesley and Derrick (@willis_partyoftwo) - as they are pretty perfect in just about every way. Black love, romance, adventure, and just about everything you could want in a relationship, these guys are the truest definition of inspirational and aspirational. We enjoy them and know you will! Go give them a follow on IG and let them know the Critellis sent you. Then, the guys sit down to talk about their experiences with long distance relationships and whether or not they think they can work. Could you successfully see an LDR through? What circumstances would have to be in place for you to willingly enter a long distance relationship? Marko and Tony explore this topic. Finally, @thecritellis read this week’s Listener Sh!tuation and do their best to give some guidance, Critelli-style.
