Going to the chapel and we’re gonna get married... maybe! If you’re trying to figure out if you wanna spend the rest of your life with this person or cut your losses and move on to the next (or just run for the hills), this is the episode for you! 

Zuri & the Group Chat (Travasha + Leah) are kicking it off — and they’re on opposite ends of the spectrum! We’ve got anti-marriage vs. #wifeyforlifey, and you’ll love the debate. Plus they discuss if a wedding is worth it, and how their childhood/parents crafted their ideas about marriage. There’s also a really random tangent about exchanging cows for women... how did they get there? Help. Get ready for a hilariously honest convo with some majorly different POVs.

Finally, Zuri chats with Beverley Andre, who is an amazing marriage and family therapist. Beverley is going to breakdown signs that you and your partner are (or aren’t) ready for marriage; why love isn’t enough of a reason to get married; and provide expert tips on navigating the “if you like it then you BETTER put a ring on it” conversation with your partner!

Are you ready for a very sexy smorgasbord of different perspectives & POVs? We’re breaking down the difference between kinks & fetishes.. whether it’s healthy to save sex for marriage.. and Throuples! Yep, you read that right -- we’re also diving deep into the world of polyamory (and how it’s totally different from being a sister-wife). 

Zuri talks to Sex Expert Gigi Engle about the G spot (and other sexy spots); why so many people are saying NO to hook-up culture and embracing celibacy; and how to have great phone sex (minus the awkward vibes...bc, yeah. it can get awk.). 

Next in our 'Real Woman, Real Story' segment: Zuri chats with Kay Kay, a 28-year-old virgin who is saving herself for marriage. Kay Kay opens up to Z on the reason she chose this lifestyle; if 'The Wait' ever gets difficult for her; and why she refuses to let purity culture define her decision.

Finally, Z chats with The Trifecta Love -- Kassandra, Carly, and Paoulo -- a committed polyamorous throuple (with 3MIL+ Tik Tok followers!) who live their love out loud by sharing their group love story with the world. They also open up about the difficulty of coming out to their families; confess if they ever struggle with jealousy; and how they let love lead the way in all of their relationships!
