We're kicking off our 3-part gratitude series this November, and we're starting where it matters most: the dinner table.

Thanksgiving hits different when you're first or second-gen. Your parents tried to blend in with turkey and stuffing, but the rice and beans still showed up. The pancit made an appearance. The traditions collided. And honestly? That's the beauty of it.

In this episode, we're talking about what it means to celebrate holidays when your family comes from multiple cultures. How do you honor where you came from while building something new? What does gratitude look like when you're navigating immigrant guilt, family expectations, and a holiday that wasn't built for your story?

Steve and Grace get real about their own Thanksgiving experiences; from Grace's mom never making turkey to Steve's family blending Puerto Rican dishes with "American" traditions. They talk about the pressure to perform, the beauty of making it your own, and why you don't owe anyone a seat at your table just because it's a holiday.

This isn't about perfection. It's about presence. It's about choosing what traditions you carry forward and which ones you leave behind.

If you're doing our 30-Day Gratitude Challenge with us, keep going. Tag us @thelovesuite.podcast and use #LoveSuite30Days so we can celebrate with you.

Next week: Part 2 — Gratitude Without Guilt.

In this episode, we get real about what it takes to love someone from a different culture. From navigating family pressure and religious differences to blending traditions and raising multicultural kids; we break it all down.

This isn't theory. This is our life.

What We Cover:
• Why people date within their culture (and why that's changing)
• The real challenges of multicultural relationships  
• How to navigate family resistance and cultural expectations
• Teaching your kids both cultures without dilution
• Food, religion, rituals and what's worth compromising on
• Why your love isn't a betrayal. It's a bridge

From gun-wielding fathers to Greek landlords, Filipino Christmas lasting 200 days, and the non-negotiable shoes-off rule. We've lived it all.

If you're Black, Brown, Asian, Latinx, Caribbean, immigrant, first-gen, second-gen, or just trying to love someone whose world looks different from yours this one's for you.

Our listeners? You are us. You carry beauty in your roots. You carry stories in your blood.

We don't preach. We don't sugarcoat. We tell the truth about what it really takes to stay connected when life gets real.

Let's celebrate life because when it's rooted in love, truth, and legacy, it gets carried forward for generations. Our descendants will know love deeper because of how we lived it now.

Just because you said I do doesn't mean your eyes stop working. Attraction doesn't end when you get married. It just changes what you do with it.

In this episode, we get raw about attraction in marriage. That pull you feel toward someone else. The spark that shows up uninvited. What it's really showing you about yourself and your relationship.

You'll hear the water metaphor. Why someone can look so good when you're thirsty for attention at home. The 10% trap. That moment when you're ready to trade your 90% for someone who's only filling a tiny piece of what you actually need. We share what first attracted us to each other and how we navigate attraction outside our marriage.

We get into modern temptations. The coworker situation where attention gets confused with connection. The gym flirt when your partner is working long hours. Scrolling social media for flirtation because you're bored. These situations are real.

We also talk culture. Puerto Rican fire. Filipino strength. The cheesecake test that's been going viral. What it says about boundaries, trust, and where the line is between protecting your relationship and letting jealousy run the show.

The truth is attraction is normal. Acting on it is a choice. Your commitment doesn't cancel desire. It just redirects it. So when was the last time you felt that spark outside your relationship? What was it really showing you? Sit with that. Be honest with yourself.

Timestamps: 

00:00 Intro: Your eyes still work after I do 

10:00 What first attracted us to each other 

25:00 Marcus and Lila: The coworker situation 

29:00 Tina and James: The gym flirt 

31:00 The water metaphor 

40:00 The music conversation 

42:00 The 90% vs 10% breakdown 

54:00 The reconnection check-in 

57:00 Cultural perspectives: The cheesecake test 

01:05:00 Closing: Attraction is normal, acting on it is a choice

Love yourself well. Love each other well. Catch ya in the next episode. 💜

Friendship inside love can be beautiful until it starts to feel blurry.

In this episode we talk about what happens when “just a friend” starts sounding different. We unpack boundaries, emotional safety, and how our pasts, cultures, and attachment styles shape what feels threatening or secure in a relationship.

From same sex friendships to coworkers that get too close to nights out with single friends, we get into it all. We look at how culture plays a part, why some of us were raised to keep the peace, while others were taught to share everything.

This is not about control. It is about clarity, respect, and learning how to protect your love without losing yourself.

Real love does not mean cutting people off. It means knowing where the line is and staying honest about how you feel when it is crossed.

Storms have hit our marriage. Illness. Betrayal. Grief. Money struggles. Parenting crises. We learned the hardest part is not always the storm itself. It is the aftershocks when the dust settles and you are left asking, what now?

In this episode of The Love Suite Podcast we open up about the storms we have survived. From our son Caleb’s near fatal motorcycle accident to the long road of rebuilding trust after deep breaks. We share how we found ways to heal, reconnect, and grow stronger when everything felt fragile.

We have been married more than 20 years. Our love is shaped by multicultural roots, New York grit, and the daily choice to keep showing up for each other. From check ins to apologies without excuses, from honoring grief to tending love like a garden, we want to show you what it looks like to choose love after the storm.

If you have ever wondered how to begin again when it feels impossible, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of The Love Suite, Steve and Grace get raw about one of the biggest tests in any relationship. MONEY. From childhood memories of Vienna sausages, rice and ketchup, and balikbayan boxes, to hustling through multiple jobs and checking each other’s bills before marriage, they reveal how money is never just about dollars.

It’s about trust.
It’s about culture.
It’s about intimacy.

They break down how second-gen hustle and immigrant sacrifice shaped their money mindset, why couples fight about money when it’s really about fear and power, and the rituals they use to shift from survival mode to building legacy together.

This episode closes with a blessing for all couples learning to see money as sacred. It is a tool for love, not fear, for legacy, not just survival.

If you’ve ever argued about money in your marriage, this one will hit home.

Everybody thinks intimacy means sex, but we know it is so much more than that. In this episode we are talking about the everyday ways couples stay connected. The looks across the room, the late-night laughs, the small gestures that say we are still us.

We open up about the different layers of intimacy, physical, emotional, spiritual, and playful, and how Diwa, our soul essence, and Kapwa, our shared humanity, shape the way we love each other. From “maintenance sex” to stick figure love notes, from safe space to spooning struggles, we get into all the ways connection shows up outside the bedroom.

If you have ever wondered how to keep love alive through bills, kids, and heavy seasons, this one is for you.

💬 This week, try one nonsexual act of intimacy with your person. Then, hit us up and let us know how it felt. We really do read your messages.

We’ve had some real fights. The loud ones. The silent ones. The “why did I even marry you” ones. But the thing that almost broke us wasn’t the fighting. It was what we didn’t come back to repair.

In today’s episode, we get honest about how long it took us to learn the difference between conflict and disconnection. We share one of our worst arguments, how the strip club, a sudoku puzzle, and a frozen freezer all played a role, and how we finally learned to come back to each other instead of letting silence and pride win.

We also break down our Conflict Reset Tool — pause, name it, reset — and how it’s changed the way we fight and the way we love.

This one is for the couples who love hard, mess up, and still want to grow together.

Back in the day it felt like life was trying to eat us alive. Four kids going in four directions, long shifts, Texas heat, money stress, health scares, no sleep. We were running on empty and drifting from each other without even knowing it. 

In this episode we get real about those years when survival mode had us snapping, shutting down, and questioning if we would even make it. We talk about the chaos, the silence, and the distance that almost broke us, and how we pulled through, learned to reset, check in, and still choose each other.

This is not about picture perfect balance. It is about catching yourself before the drift gets too deep and finding small ways to come back together.

💜 Tune in and ask yourself what is one small shift you can make this week to bring your life back into balance?

🛋️ The Love Suite 

Marriage isn't just romance, cute photos and matching tees. It’s late-night silence. It’s holding on when life hits hard. It’s looking at the person you chose and asking, “Are we still in this?”

In this short welcome, Steve and Grace introduce you to The Love Suite, a sacred, grown-folk space where intimacy, truth, and real love live.
No filters. No pretending. Just two people telling the truth about what it takes to stay...with yourself, with each other, with love.

They’ve raised four kids, healed through trauma, forgiven what almost broke them, and now? They’re showing up to give it all language just for you, for your Diwa, for your Kapwa.

Because the world doesn't need more perfect couples.
It needs more real ones willing to reconnect.

Relationships grow through intention, softens through truth and rebuilds through choice.
