This Is Married Lala + Winston

Happy 2023! Our home buying journey is wrapping up and as of the publish date we are less than 48 hours away from being homeowners! Can you even handle it?! There is a special little town in New York State called Kingston and we have been to it many times. We love the shopping, the vibes, the quiet, and we’ve had some pretty good food there too. We started journeying up to escape the doldrums of daily life and found ourselves just loving it there. So much so that we strongly considered just moving there. In this latest episode, we’ll get into why we ultimately decided that we wouldn’t do that. What’s more? Kathy Hochul signed some new marriage legislation in our state so we’ll download you on that. We advise a couple grappling with a financial challenge. And we give some props to our couple crush of the week!

Happy holidays, y'all and welcome to our new listeners! We're winding down and headed into some well-deserved time off but not before we dive deep into our move matrix. Back in 2020, when the world was on fire and we were stacking paper, we started seriously considered leaving the city responsible for our love. There was a lot to consider. Which region do you think ended up in the top spot when it came down to it? Spoiler alert: It's not Putnam County, NY!

This week in marriage we're also dissecting the drama of Madalyn Boucher's marriage license fiasco. Madalyn hasn't been listening to This Is Married and it shows. We'll share some advice with a couple with differing viewpoints on where to talk about money. And we'll, of course, bestow a brand new Couple Crush of the Week.

We're back to dive deep on leaving New York City and answer all the burning questions you're dying to know about this huge decision we're making. Everything from, "When?!" to "Why the hell are you leaving the greatest city on the planet?" we venture to let you in on. Of course we'll also fill you in on our feelings, the historic vote in America's 117th Congress to pass the Respect for Marriage Act, our advice to a new couple thinking about getting engaged, and our newly crowned Couple Crush of the Week. We swapped out our cocktail glasses and swapped in a nice bottle of red to set the mood for the week. Put on some warm socks, pull up your cozy luxe weighted blanket and join us!

Tag team back again! We have missed our listeners so much and it's so good to be back after nearly 18 months away. We've got a little bit of everything for our triumphant return. A little bit of scandal: Good Morning America is a real life The Morning Show and we are here for it! A little bit of life update: We kept wanting to come back to the podcast but life had other plans. A little bit of life advice: When you think you're about to start a fight about facial hair, think again! And a big surprise: Let your minds go wild!

We're obsessed with the NBC TV show Good Girls! The premise revolves around three women in Detroit who resort to criminal activity to make ends meet. It's a good show, but it's also a good case study for our podcast! We will examine all three relationships in this show, and we start with Stan and Ruby. Both of them are the moral centers of the show, and both of them aren't really, truly, about this life. As they grapple with balancing a Holy life with a life of crime, we ask ourselves.....Is This Married?

Let's face it, during the pandemic, we've all had a change of heart about one thing or another. Maybe you've decided to spend more time with family? Or maybe you are deciding to quit our job and venture out on your own. Well, if you do the latter, would you tell your spouse, partner, or significant other? This is the question we're pondering while watching the latest episode of Black-ish. The main character does the exact thing, while not telling their spouse. And his wife is....cool with that? Let's discuss.
