9. First Comes Love, Then Comes (Not Necessarily) Marriage...
Nick Flora is back, and we’re talking the death of old relationship beliefs and formation of new views on the role of marriage in romantic relationships. Do we even need marriage, guys? Is it for everyone? Does marriage really have to be the CULMINATING crown on every successful romantic relationship? Spoiler: we really don’t think it has to be.

8. Sister Sister
This week we pivot into the the theme of the death of marriages. In this episode, I talk with my sister, Sam, about her marriage and the elements that led to its demise. We cover the topics of pornography addiction, dysfunctional familial cycles, and more. (If you're not LDS and have been wondering "what is up with Mormons and the porn thing?", we cover that.)

Customer Reviews
Layered and Nuanced
Every episode is layered and nuanced. As soon as the episode ends I typically immediately listen to it again because there is so much to examine. These are universal topics that we typically don’t talk about because they expose our vulnerabilities, but I think it’s about time we embrace our vulnerabilities.
Hearing what you didn't expect
You don't expect it, when the words and feeling you've had in years past come out of the mouth of others. It's not the same experience, it's not the same problems, but hearing that the feelings and emotions are reflect by others who are struggling through similar and difficult situations is staggering every time it happens. We constantly think our problems are so unique to ourselves that there is no else out there who would understand those feelings. Hearing these stories, reminding myself that it needs to be shared, this needed to be said. Please let us talk about it now, and keep talking about it.
