This heartwarming and often hilarious episode dives into the love story of Jami’s mom, Joa, and her husband, Charles King. From their unconventional first meeting to the deeply personal lessons they’ve learned over decades together, this conversation blends humor, vulnerability, and timeless relationship wisdom. Joa and Charles recount their early days, including the small-town “relationship whiteboard,” and the bold moment Joa asked Charles out. Their first date leads to a memorable bathroom mishap, a second date marked by instant connection, and the symbolic “blue rose” that still carries meaning today.
As the episode unfolds, Joa and Charles reflect on the long beach walks where they first talked about marriage, the foundational difference between what men and women desire, and the spiritual practice of loving each other even when they fall short. They open up about resolving conflict, including the time Joa invited Charles on a date during an argument that ended with them learning to tango. From forgiveness mindsets to small daily rituals like making coffee, they highlight the tiny, intentional acts that build unshakeable relationships. The episode closes with the Platinum Rule and how loving someone the way they want to be loved transforms everything.
This is a tender, joyful, and wisdom-filled look at love, commitment, and choosing each other again and again.
