    We Looked Like Marriage Goals While Our Marriage Was Falling Apart

    Why does your partner go quiet when you're trying to have a conversation?  You know they hear you, but it takes a minute to answer. And why does that silence make your heart starting beating faster? In this episode of The B-Side of Marriage Podcast, Ra’Shunda and Jason react to a video about why men go silent during arguments, then realize they're talking about a pattern that has shown up in their own marriage. What starts as a conversation about "what's for lunch" turns into something much bigger: trying to predict your partner's reaction, managing each other's emotions, overthinking simple questions, carrying responsibility for everything, and learning how childhood experiences can quietly shape the way we communicate with our spouse. We talk about what happens when one person needs space to process while the other experiences silence as uncertainty, why “fixing” isn't always what's needed, and what it takes to tolerate uncomfortable feelings without immediately trying to make them disappear. If you've ever thought, “Why can't you just tell me what you're thinking?” or “I'm trying to figure out how to answer without making this worse,” this conversation may sound very familiar. 👇🏾 Tell us in the comments: When conflict gets uncomfortable, are you more likely to go quiet, start fixing, or want to talk it out immediately? Marriage and relationship coaching with Ra’Shunda and Jason is available in Houston and virtually nationwide.  Book a free vibe check call at www.thebsideomarriage.com  @thebsideofmarriagepodcast   Because the real work begins at “I do.” ****************************************************** + FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/bsideofmarriage https://www.instagram.com/sincerelyshunda https://www.instagram.com/jota31 FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/thebsideofmarriage****************************************************** WATCH AT: The BSide of Marriage Podcast on Youtube - Bside Of Marriage Podcast Youtube ******************************************************WANT MORE?

    When Your Partner Shuts Down - Is it Avoidance or Self Protection

    Why does your partner go quiet when you're trying to have a conversation?  You know they hear you, but it takes a minute to answer.

    When Christian Marriage Advice Fails Wives

    What happens when the marriage advice you inherited leaves no room to question the expectations placed on wives? After watching Death of the Pastor’s Wife, Ra’Shunda and Jason had a LOT to talk about. In this episode of The B-Side of Marriage Podcast, we discuss our reactions to the documentary and use it as a starting point for a larger conversation about Christian marriage culture, sexual expectations, submission, church leadership, accountability, and the beliefs couples can carry into marriage without ever stopping to examine them. We talk about: The idea that wives are responsible for satisfying their husbands sexually Why a husband's sexual choices remain his responsibility What happens when religious authority discourages people from questioning leadership The different expectations sometimes placed on men and women in church communities Purity culture and the expectation that sexuality suddenly becomes simple after marriage What happens to a wife's autonomy when submission is interpreted as minimizing her needs How inherited marriage roles can create resentment Why couples need to examine the expectations underneath their relationship This isn't a conversation about prescribing one “correct” way to structure a Christian marriage. It's an invitation to ask better questions about the marriage you're actually building. ****************************************************** + FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/bsideofmarriage https://www.instagram.com/sincerelyshunda https://www.instagram.com/jota31 FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/thebsideofmarriage****************************************************** WATCH AT: The BSide of Marriage Podcast on Youtube - Bside Of Marriage Podcast Youtube ******************************************************WANT MORE?

    Raising Kids While Healing You

    Parenting is hard. Healing is hard. Doing both at the same time? That's the real work. In this episode of The B-Side of Marriage Podcast, Ra'Shunda and Jason open up about the gap between the parent they imagined being and the one their kids actually need. From projecting childhood fears onto your kids, to breaking the "because I said so" cycle, to raising critical thinkers in a world you didn't grow up in — this conversation is honest, relatable, and full of grace. What you'll take away from this episode: * How to recognize when you're parenting from your own unhealed wounds * Why your kids are not mini versions of you and why that's a good thing * Practical ways to meet your kids where they are emotionally * How to raise kids who think critically and express themselves freely * Why community matters more than ever for parents today Because here's the truth: you don't have to have it all figured out to be a great parent. You just have to be willing to grow alongside them. 💛 🎧 Listen now and share with a parent who needs to hear this today. ****************************************************** + FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/bsideofmarriage https://www.instagram.com/sincerelyshunda https://www.instagram.com/jota31 FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/thebsideofmarriage****************************************************** WATCH AT: The BSide of Marriage Podcast on Youtube - Bside Of Marriage Podcast Youtube ******************************************************WANT MORE?

    Marriage Coaches React to MAFS S20: Passion Isn't Found its Built

    Twenty seasons. Over one hundred weddings. Only twelve couples still married. Married at First Sight Season 20 based in Seattle, and we are watching the same pattern play out that over and over again. The wedding is electric. The honeymoon is exciting.

It is something you build...intentionally. In this episode of The B-Side of Marriage Podcast, we break down what MAFS Season 20 is showcasing about connection, desire, and what actually keeps couples together after the butterflies wear off.
