Welcome to The 3L’s Podcast, a raw, unfiltered, and hilarious take on marriage, relationships, parenting, money, and everything in between. We’re a husband-and-wife duo, married nearly 15 years with four kids and more stories than we can count. Each week, we dive into the highs and lows of building a life together, from dating and raising children to navigating finances, intimacy, and family drama. We’ll also break down the money moves and mindset shifts that help couples build wealth and create a legacy for their families. Because love is great, but generational impact? That’s the real goal. Expect real talk, laughter, a little bit of raunchiness (because marriage isn’t always PG), and lessons we’ve learned along the way. Whether you’re dating, newly married, knee-deep in parenting, or just curious how couples make it work, this is the podcast for you. 🎙️ New episodes every Friday.

    MY HUSBAND CHEATED WITH MY BEST FRIEND WHILE I WAS PREGNANT! | The 3L's Podcast Ep 63

    What would you do if you found out your husband was having an affair with your best friend of 22 years, while you were pregnant? Would you forgive them, walk away, or stay for the sake of your children? In this episode of the 3R Podcast, Eman and Mimi tackle one of the most painful forms of betrayal. When the two people you trust most destroy your trust, who deserves your forgiveness? We explore a heartbreaking dilemma involving a woman who discovers her husband and lifelong best friend have been having an affair during her pregnancy. Now, with a newborn baby, a broken marriage and everyone offering conflicting advice, she faces an impossible decision. Is forgiveness enough to save a marriage? Does staying mean accepting disrespect? And once trust disappears, is rebuilding a relationship even possible? Before tackling the dilemma, we also discuss the growing pressures of living in the UK, the reality of relocating to Dubai and whether moving abroad offers families a better quality of life. In this episode, we discuss: The devastating betrayal of a spouse and best friend. Whether a marriage should survive infidelity. Why forgiveness doesn't always restore trust. The financial and emotional reasons people stay after an affair. Setting boundaries between friends and spouses. Why separation sometimes helps couples make difficult decisions. The rising cost of UK living and the truth about relocating abroad. Would you forgive your partner if they cheated with your best friend? Or would you cut them both off forever?

    "YOU'RE 41! WHY DO YOU WANT AN 18-YEAR-OLD WIFE?!" | The 3L's Podcast Ep 62

    Would you let a 41-year-old man marry your 19-year-old daughter? And what if he openly admitted he wanted a younger woman because she would be easier to mould and control? Welcome back to the 3L Podcast, where we talk Life, Love and Legacy! In this episode, Eman and Mimi tackle the controversial comments made on the Winners Talking Podcast about older men seeking wives aged 18 to 21, particularly from church. The conversation raises serious questions about age gaps, religion, traditional marriage values and the fine line between guidance and manipulation. As parents raising both sons and daughters, we share our concerns about young women entering marriage before developing their independence, careers and identities. We also reflect on our own experience of marrying in our mid-20s, the financial struggles we faced and why we now believe young adults deserve more time to grow before settling down. In this episode, we discuss: Why would a 41-year-old specifically pursue an 18-year-old? Is seeking a younger wife about traditional values or control? Are churches doing enough to protect young women? The dangers of marrying before finding your identity. Why financial independence matters before marriage. African marriage traditions and modern relationships. How parents should prepare their children for dating, marriage and adulthood. Is a large age gap the problem, or is the intention behind the relationship more concerning? Join the conversation!

    “MY HUSBAND FOUND MY SECRET TOY!” | The Christian Marriage Taboo | The 3L's Podcast Ep 61

    Are there boundaries Christian couples should never cross when exploring intimacy in marriage? And why does the church rarely prepare couples for the realities of married life? In this week's episode of the 3R Podcast, Emmanuel and Mariam open up about one of the most sensitive conversations in Christian relationships: intimacy, personal desires, faith and the expectations husbands and wives place on each other. We share our experiences of adjusting to intimacy after becoming parents, the importance of self-control and why certain influences might create distance between couples rather than bring them closer. We also question why so many Christians enter marriage without understanding how to communicate their needs, preferences and boundaries. Our dilemma follows a Christian wife whose husband makes an unexpected discovery in her bedside drawer after four years of marriage. His discovery exposes years of hidden frustration and conversations neither partner felt comfortable having. In this episode, we discuss: Should Christian couples have boundaries around intimacy? How parenthood changes physical and emotional connection. Why the church rarely prepares couples for married life. The influence of adult content on relationships. A wife's secret purchase and her husband's reaction. What scripture teaches about temptation and self-control. Why honest communication matters in marriage. Is the biggest threat to intimacy what couples do behind closed doors, or what they are afraid to discuss?

    "MY HUSBAND CHANGED AFTER HIS FRIEND GOT DIVORCED!” Is His Marriage Next? | The 3L's Podcast Ep 60

    Can your divorced friends destroy your marriage? Or is your marriage already in trouble if someone else's divorce changes how you behave? In this episode of the 3L Podcast, E-Man and Mimi tackle a controversial conversation about friendship, marriage and the influence of people around us. When a close friend goes through a divorce, where do you draw the line between supporting them and protecting your own relationship? We explore whether divorce influences friendship groups, how personal experiences shape the advice we give and why some married people start questioning their relationships after witnessing someone else's marriage fall apart. But the real controversy begins with this week's dilemma. A wife reveals how her husband's behaviour has changed since his best friend got divorced four months ago. Once a present husband and father, he's now staying out late, missing bedtime routines with his children and making plans for nights out, including visits to gentlemen's clubs. She feels like she's slowly losing her husband while he's busy supporting his newly single friend. Is he being a loyal friend, or using his friend's divorce as an excuse to escape his responsibilities? In this episode, we discuss: Should married people distance themselves from divorced friends? Can someone else's relationship trauma damage your marriage? When does supporting a friend become neglecting your family? Are divorced friends a bad influence, or are people responsible for their own choices? Is the husband in this week's dilemma crossing the line? How do you protect your marriage without abandoning your friendships? E-Man and Mimi share their different perspectives on boundaries, loyalty, accountability and the importance of knowing yourself. We want to hear from you. Would you confront your partner, question the friendship or trust them to make the right decisions?

    Your Child’s Friends Might Be the Problem… And You Don’t Even Know | The 3L's Podcast Ep 59

    How much control should parents have over who their children call friends? As children move into secondary school, their world gets bigger. New friendships, social media, vaping, peer pressure and influences enter their lives, often without parents knowing the full story. In this episode of the 3L Podcast, Eman and Mimi discuss one of the hardest parts of raising teenagers. When do you step in, and when do you trust your child to make their own decisions? After watching their own son move through different friendship groups, they reflect on how friendships affected his behaviour, confidence and experience at school. They also discuss why knowing your child matters, especially when you notice sudden changes in their personality, anxiety or attitude towards school. Eman shares his own experience of having a friend his mum disapproved of, despite the same friend protecting him from situations his parents knew nothing about. It raises a difficult question. Do parents truly understand the social world their children face every day? The conversation also explores faith, parental example, communication and why raising children with strong values matters more than trying to control every person around them. Main points: • Should parents choose their children’s friends? • Vaping, peer pressure and teenage friendships • Spotting changes in your child’s behaviour • When parents should intervene at school • Why communication matters as children get older • Teaching values instead of trying to control friendships • Creating a home where children feel safe enough to talk • Why raising a child still takes a village Would you stop your child from being friends with someone you believed was a bad influence?

    £60K Wedding or a House Deposit? This Couple CAN’T Agree! | The 3L's Podcast Ep 58

    How much is your dream wedding worth, and would you go into debt to make it happen? In this episode of the 3L Podcast, we’re talking about the rising cost of weddings and whether couples are putting too much pressure on themselves to create the “perfect” day. From luxury venues and destination weddings to family expectations and viral weddings on social media, costs quickly add up. We also look at the bigger financial question. If you had £60,000, would you spend most of it on your wedding, or have a smaller celebration and put the rest towards your first home? We share our own experience after 15 years of marriage and discuss why the financial decisions you make before saying “I do” matter long after the wedding day is over. Then we get into this week’s dilemma. A bride has dreamed about her wedding since she was 12. She wants the grand venue, big family celebration and everything she has pictured for years. Her fiancé wants something small and affordable. He keeps returning to the spreadsheet, while she feels like she’s watching her dream disappear. With only seven months until the wedding, neither person feels heard. Main points: • Dream wedding vs buying a home • The pressure of social media weddings • Should you ever borrow money for your wedding? • Family expectations and who gets a say • Destination weddings vs UK weddings • Finding financial compromise before marriage • Why the marriage matters more than the wedding day Would you sacrifice your dream wedding to start married life in a stronger financial position? 💌 Send us your dilemmas & questions! ✨ Subscribe for more episodes on love, marriage, money & building a lasting legacy!

    Would You Exploit Your Kids for Followers? The Dark Side of Family | The 3L's Podcast Ep 57Content

    Should You Post Your Kids Online for Views? Social media rewards authenticity, and for parents who create content, family life often gets the most attention. But when posting your children leads to more views, followers, brand deals and money, where should you draw the line? In this episode of the 3L Podcast, Emmanuel and Miriam discuss the reality of sharing your children online. As parents and content creators, we have faced this question ourselves. Miriam knows motherhood content performs well, but the risks around privacy, bullying, unwanted attention and AI raise serious concerns. We also discuss consent. Children grow up, opinions change, and something a parent posts today might become something their child wishes had never been shared. Then comes this week's dilemma. A content creator built her account to 42,000 followers without featuring her children. After posting her daughter, engagement exploded. One bath-time video reached 200,000 views and brought brand enquiries. Her following grew to 61,000. The problem? Her husband had already set a boundary about showing their daughter's face, and he felt she was starting to view private family moments through the lens of content. Main points: • Should parents post their children online? • Are followers and brand deals worth the privacy risk? • When does family content become exploitation? • Should both parents agree before posting their child? • How much say should children have over their digital footprint? • Are some family moments too private for social media?

    She Helped Me Escape My Abusive Ex… Then Started Dating Him | The 3L's Podcast Ep 56

    Would you ever date your friend’s ex? What if you knew the relationship was abusive? This week on the 3L Podcast, Emmanuel and Mimi get into a difficult conversation about friendship, loyalty, relationships and whether people deserve a second chance after a damaging past. The dilemma takes things to another level. A woman escapes an abusive relationship with the help of one of her closest friends. Her friend comes to her flat at midnight, helps her leave, listens to the details of the abuse and supports her through the aftermath. Then months later, she finds out through Instagram that the same friend is secretly dating her abusive ex. The friend says she “couldn’t help” falling for him. But was this love, or the ultimate betrayal? We debate whether dating a friend’s ex should ever be acceptable, whether enough time passing changes the rules, and whether a person’s abusive past should define who they are forever. If someone goes to therapy, changes their behaviour and becomes a different person, do they deserve another chance? Or should your loyalty to your friend make their ex permanently off limits? We also discuss the uncomfortable question behind the dilemma. Did the friend develop feelings afterwards, or did she secretly want him all along? Main points: • Should your friend’s ex always be off limits? • Does time change the rules? • Do people with abusive pasts deserve second chances? • Is secretly dating your friend’s ex an unforgivable betrayal? • Should you tell friends everything about your relationship? • Did she support her friend, or study the relationship because she wanted him? • Where should friendship boundaries begin and end? What would you do if your closest friend started dating the person who hurt you? Like, comment and subscribe, and tell us where you draw the line.
