Marriage Reality Check

What starts off as a conversation about the highpoints and frustrations with Season 2 of Love is Blind quickly turned into a discussion about the Smiths and the crazy things done in the name of love on the Oscars' stage. The ladies are joined by a special guest, Husbae and they all debate what the five fingers said to the face.

The ladies talk with Laura Coronado,  host of "There Are No Nice Guys" podcast, about all things Grown Ass Dating. Discussing everything from dating while podcasting to the importance of therapy and self-discovery, the ladies continue their recent conversation from Episode 30 of There Are No Nice Guys. Listen to hear more about the impacts of dating beyond 30, the stigma of divorce, and the challenges of being in a woman in the pandemic.

Back for the holidays the ladies talk about another COVID Christmas season, catch-up on the latest life happenings, adult ADD, and relationships. This is a conversation focused on the difference between love and like, and how they impact relationships with yourself and your partners.

Marriage is an opportunity to grow in selflessness and commit to another human emotionally, spiritual, and legally. The ladies question the institution of marriage and discuss traditional views, long-term commitment, martial satisfaction, pitfalls, the importance of emotional investment, and the overall realities of love and marriage.

The ladies talk about complicated co-parenting situations and the reality of non-monogamous relationships. Nick Cannon and his baseball team of children brought up the double standard when it comes to having multiple kids with different partners. Being a “Baby Daddy” has a lot less stigma and that brings societal judgement of women into question (again).

The ladies kickoff Season 3 talking about their latest life changes, discussing the importance of quality friendships and the impact friends have on dating and marriage. They also talk about the recent RHOA scandal with Porsha Williams and her co-star’s soon-to-be ex-husband. Raising the questions: Are you a good friend? Would you date your friend’s ex? How much influence do your friends have in your relationships?

Hypocrisy and narcissism are dual epidemics running wild and free in this world. You cannot always spot the red flags while dating, and sometimes the tell-tale traits become more pronounced after getting married. The ladies of Grown Ass Dating talk infidelity, failed public apologies, wife shaming, the black community aggrandizing religion, and all things Derrick Jaxn.

Reunited and it feels so good. A lot has happened since we last recorded, insurrection, COVID vaccines, and a new season of Married at First Site. Join the ladies as they talk learned lessons from match.com, millennials being traumatized, white privilege, newlywed life in Florida, “pandemic fine”, extreme first dates, cheap tattoos, Harry and Meghan, and plans for their upcoming podcast anniversary.

Weddings stir up all the emotions and Rendi’s was no different. Join us as we celebrate grown ass love and talk with newlyweds Rendi and Husbae, some of their wedding guests, and members of the bridal party.  We had a few drinks (too many) and gathered a mix of happily married, successfully divorced, and peacefully single grown folks to talk about relationships.

Special guest and boss babe Michelle C. of Kandid Kisses TV and Kissable Lips Cosmetics joins us to talk about dating when you are a strong, independent, female boss. We discuss the challenges of dating when you’re a female entrepreneur and what it means to find a supportive partner when you are career oriented
