Unpacking Love

Kicking off our premarital series with a focus on medical tests that couples might consider before tying the knot. I am not a medical professional; I've simply read some online articles and wanted to share my findings here. It's crucial to conduct your own research for a comprehensive understanding of these tests. Think of this episode as a platform to raise awareness about important considerations before marriage.

Up next: Ep. 99 Prenups & Ep. 100 Premarital Counseling
