I Think I Love You Riley & Caro
-
- Maatschappij en cultuur
Falling in love with someone is easy. Staying in love with the same person, year after year, is much harder. That's why we're recording an hour of conversation every week of our first year of marriage. For us, it’s a way to dig into our fascination with one another and this existential question of lasting love. For you, it’s an invitation to creep on our marriage as it unfolds, mistake by mistake and lesson by lesson, since no one ever really told us about theirs. We’ll work through fights, expose probably too much of our sex life, and try to get to answers for how to stay in love in this little human experiment called I Think I Love You.
Riley & Caro
Consider also seeking out podcasts created by black people, as well as those which aim to shed further light on systemic racism in America. A few suggestions: @nprcodeswitch , @yoisthisracist , the 1619 project by the @nytimes, “74 Seconds” (which tells the story of Philando Castile’s murder), and @livvperez’s podcast are a few that come to mind.

A WHOLE YEAR IN
On the anniversary of our marriage, one year in, we zoom way out and ask each other some questions. How have we grown, together and individually? How can we be better in this next year, and the years to come after that? And of course, what have we learned about how to stay in love?

Week Fifty One: What Are You Into?
Riley and I have asked one another thousands of questions over the course of our relationship, but very few of them have been explicitly directed towards understanding one another’s sexuality. That changes in this conversation.

Week Forty Nine: You Wanna Talk About Poop And Sex?
NOT AT THE SAME TIME. Well, in the same conversation, just not both at once, you know what I mean. We check in on progress since a healthy breakthrough in our understanding of our own sex life, and recount a particularly unhealthy "breakthrough" off the highway somewhere in suburban Massachusetts.
-
Week Forty Eight: Do We Need a Sex Therapist?
Riley and I break down a particularly painful experience that took place the night before, which forced us to address the current state of our sex life.

Week Forty Seven: Introducing The Edible Games
Caroline and I take edibles and see how much of a detailed finance conversation we can get through before they kick in. The odds were not in our favor.

Weeks Forty Five and Six: I'll Have the Last Laugh
If you've never considered making financial decisions based off of a mantra, then you're not living. In this conversation, Riley and I talk finances (plot twist: I have decided to become savvy as hell with money). We also dip our toes into airstream progress, chat about how Riley learned to create an electrical system from scratch, and discuss whether we should change our approach to sharing pod-related information on social media or not.
