This is Marriage

Ash and I took an online quiz so now we're experts on the five love languages and communication.

Spoiler alert: Ash and I both cry. Deal with it. Tonight we got emotional as Ash and I talk about mom shaming and the guilt most moms carry around. Ash talks about how she feels like a bad mom. At the end of the episode I made Ash come up with 5 reasons that she is a good mom. Tears were shed and I had a hard time talking.

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss SANTA!!! We talk about whether you should let your kids believe in Santa or not. Also, when/if should you tell your kid that Santa is a big hoax? Are there negatives to letting your kid believe in Santa? Does it eventually create trust issues between you and your kid? Will it give them a complex? We don't know. We're probably the worst people to ask. Anyway, we have a ton of fun and Ash is a major space case tonight. It was weird. Enjoy!

Tonight we talk about the power of gratitude to help get through a rough patch and the way it can change your outlook on life. We share 5 things we are grateful for (one of which was that baby boy didn't wake up and interrupt the podcast).

On this episode of the podcast, Ash and I talk about our feelings on Christmas. We talk about the appropriate time to start decorating for Christmas (the answer is after Thanksgiving and not one minute before) as well as our feelings around gift giving and the whole commercialism of the holiday.

On this bonus episode, you get a real-life-first-person-honest-to-God ghost story.

Ash is back and healthier than ever (although wicked sleepy). Tonight we are STOKED to bring your our first ever Halloween special. We share our thoughts on scary movies, our favorite creepy podcast, whether or not we believe in ghosts, and we share some first-hand accounts of the supernatural.

Hey guys, sorry to do this, but Ash is wicked sick (say that in a Boston accent for extra credit) and so we aren't recording a new episode tonight. So, instead of a new episode, we thought we would treat all our new listeners to an old favorite episode. The one where we talk about poop. I really don't know why everyone loved it so much, but here it is. Enjoy!!

Chores. We all have to do them and we all hate them. Tonight we talk about the division of labor within the household. We talk about our different philosophies on chore charts (for adults) and the expectations of what our house should look like.  Let's face it, it is hard to keep a house clean with 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a toddler, but that doesn't mean we should be embarrassed about it. Ash and I talk about the fact that our house isn't what we want it to be and is a major source of unhappiness.

On this episode of the podcast, Ash and I talk about communication and the many problems couples have when it comes to telling people how we feel. Many relationships are ruined by poor communication and yet it is something that many many couples overlook. We talk about validating your partner's needs, how to show love, and how to talk about a need that isn't being met. It's funny, It's real. This is Marriage. Check it out, please rate and review!
