When your parents’ lifestyle makes you uncomfortable—what do you do? 🤯In Episode 248, we read an email from a woman trying to navigate a very complicated family dynamic. After growing up loosely Christian, she’s now leaning more into her faith—but her mom and stepdad have recently entered a polyamorous relationship and moved a third partner into the family home… a woman who also happens to work with her dad. 😳She’s feeling overwhelmed, grossed out, and unsure how to handle visits or conversations without compromising her values or cutting ties completely.So what does it mean to respond in a godly way—without enabling what you don’t agree with?We talk about:Why you don’t need to know every messy detail 🧼How to love people where they are, not where you wish they’d be ❤️And the real freedom that comes from accepting you can’t change anyone but yourself 🙏🏾Tap in for a raw, real convo—and then join us in the comments:How do you set boundaries without being harsh or judgmental?50% OFF of our E-Course, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Premarital Advantage⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Email list⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Contact Us: [email protected] Us a Voicemail: +1 727-619-4629⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave a Review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Every week we share with you all exactly how married we are.

This week, we’re responding to two emails—both full of tension, questions, and heart.First up:A man writes in, self-conscious about being seen as a “toxic male.” 😓He wants to correct things in his relationship—like how the house is cleaned—but he’s struggling with how to say it and whether he even should.He’s worried about being part of the problem…But is he overthinking society’s expectations and missing what’s actually going on in his own relationship?Then we hear from a woman with a difficult dilemma:She overheard something serious about her friend’s marriage—infidelity. 💔The friend knows what’s happening in her marriage, but she hasn’t shared it directly.So now, the question is:Do you bring it up? Or do you stay quiet and show support another way?Glen and Yvette weigh in on why some people stay silent about their pain, and how to be a safe, steady friend—even when you know something you weren’t meant to hear. 🧏🏾‍♀️Episode 246 is now live—watch and join us in the comments:What would you do if you knew something about your friend’s marriage…but they didn’t tell you themselves? 👇🏾50% OFF of our E-Course, ⁠⁠⁠The Premarital Advantage⁠⁠⁠!! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Email list⁠⁠⁠Contact Us: [email protected] Us a Voicemail: +1 727-619-4629⁠⁠⁠Leave a Review⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Every week we share with you all exactly how married we are.

Or are we missing something?We talk about how easy it is to misjudge a whole situation when you’ve only got one side, and we get real about some of our own relationship moments where both people thought they were right—but nobody was actually hearing each other.Tap in for the conversation, stay for the callout—we need more men to speak up and share their side. ✍🏽👂🏾50% OFF of our E-Course, ⁠The Premarital Advantage⁠!! ⁠The Website⁠⁠The Email list⁠Contact Us: [email protected] Us a Voicemail: +1 727-619-4629⁠Leave a Review⁠Every week we share with you all exactly how married we are.
