    S1 Episode 12: Del Martin & Phyllis Lyon – The Daughters of Bilitis

    Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon have the distinction of being the first gay couple to be married in the state of California. But their journey to the altar is far from an easy one. That's because, after that fateful day in 1949 when girl meets girl, the two will spend much of their 55-year love affair fighting for basic human rights beginning with the formation of the first lesbian rights group in the United States. Their love story is full of passion, commitment, and companionship to be sure. But it is also shroud with decades of gender discrimination; societal, cultural, and familial prejudice, and the pain that comes from living in constant fear of arrest or institutionalization, all for being the one thing everyone should have had the right to be… ourselves! ►Follow us on Facebook here This episode is brought to you by amiethedatingcoach.com Grab Amie's free Ebook, 5 Dating Traps to Avoid ►https://www.amiethedatingcoach.com/getlovenow  Title Song "Brave" by Sad Puppy Follow Sad Puppy on Twitter Follow Sad Puppy on Instagram

    S1 Episode 10: General Tom Thumb & Lavinia Warren | The World's Biggest "Little" Love Story

    On February 10, 1863, a wedding occurs in Manhattan’s Grace Church that takes New York City and the rest of the world by storm. The “fairy wedding” as it will be known, has a guest list that consists of the crème de le crème of high society and is so popular with the masses that it knocks coverage of the American Civil War (which is at its height) off the cover of the New York Times for three straight days. The groom, Charles Stratton, and his bride, Lavinia Warren are not politicians, or famous sports figures, or famous industrialists of the day, they are what was commonly known at the time as “Freaks.” Freaks who perform under the tutelage of one Phineas Taylor (aka P.T.) Barnum of Barnum & Baily Circus fame. Charles, who goes by the stage name General Tom Thumb, and Lavinia stand just 3’4” and 2’8” respectively thus are considered dwarfs or little people.  Despite their diminutive size, they are arguably the most famous couple in the world in the mid-late 19th century. Together they perform in over 20,000 shows, be seen by over 50 million people on five continents, and live out a decades-long love story that has to be heard to be believed. ►Follow us on Facebook here This episode is brought to you by amiethedatingcoach.com Grab Amie's free Ebook, 5 Dating Traps to Avoid ►https://www.amiethedatingcoach.com/getlovenow  Title Song "Brave" by Sad Puppy Follow Sad Puppy on Twitter Follow Sad Puppy on Instagram

    S1 Episode 9: Eija-Ritta Berliner-Mauer & The Berlin Wall | The “Object” of My Affection

    Great love stories come in all shapes and sizes and the one Swedish model-maker Eija-Ritta Eklöf has for her man is no exception. The love affair begins in 1961 when she is just seven years old and watching a television program about an electrifying new construction project in Berlin, Germany. Unfolding on screen right before her eyes is the birth of what she will later describe as “the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.” He’s tall, slim, and has one of the most important jobs in Germany. But all is not what it seems in this love story because Eija-Ritta’s future husband is not a man, he’s not even human… he’s a wall.  ►Follow us on Facebook here This episode is brought to you by amiethedatingcoach.com Grab Amie's free Ebook, 5 Dating Traps to Avoid ►https://www.amiethedatingcoach.com/getlovenow  Title Song "Brave" by Sad Puppy Follow Sad Puppy on Twitter Follow Sad Puppy on Instagram

    S1 Episode 8: Pierre & Marie Curie | Love & Fallout

    Pierre and Marie Curie are the most successful and renowned husband and wife team in the history of science. Together they make discoveries in radioactivity (even coining the term ‘radioactivity’) that will lead to everything from the modern X-ray to radiation therapy for cancer treatment. But their path to true love and scientific innovation is far from an easy one as it's fraught with government oppression, sexism, radiation poisoning, and the intense sorrow that comes from experiencing the tragic loss of a spouse. Still, the relationship that develops between these two extremely bright minds is filled with so much love and respect that one might say, scientifically speaking, it’s their greatest discovery of all!

    S1 Episode 7: John & Abigail Adams | A Revolutionary Marriage

    John and Abigail Adams are arguably, America’s first power couple. John is one of the United States’ founding fathers and its 2nd President. And although she grows up in a time and place when a woman’s role is a domestic one and they're meant to be seen not heard, Abigail is a true outlier. She is highly intelligent, multilingual, politically savvy, has an insatiable curiosity about the world, and pushes for women’s rights well before it is in fashion. Their love and devotion to one another is undeniable as it revealed repeatedly in the over 1100 love letters the two wrote one another that still survive today. Together, John and Abigail not only help shape the future of America but do it without any scandals, the birth of six children, only three of which will fully see adulthood, and while spending almost a third of their 54-year partnership apart. ►Follow us on Facebook here This episode is brought to you by amiethedatingcoach.com Grab Amie's free Ebook, 5 Dating Traps to Avoid ►https://www.amiethedatingcoach.com/getlovenow  Title Song "Brave" by Sad Puppy Follow Sad Puppy on Twitter Follow Sad Puppy on Instagram

    In the final days of World War II, army intelligence officer Lt. Kurt Klein is given orders to go check out an abandoned Czechoslovakian bicycle factory.

    S1 Episode 1: Richard & Mildred Loving | A "Loving" Relationship

    Fast asleep in the bedroom of their rural Virginia home, Richard and Mildred Loving are like any young newlywed couple in love who have a plan to spend the rest of their lives together. Unfortunately, local law enforcement has other ideas for the Lovings... an arrest and a trip to jail. The reasoning for their arrest is simple it’s 1958, they're in the Jim Crow South, Richard is white and Mildred is black. Feeling that their arrest is not only immoral but also illegal the Lovings decide to fight. A fight that begins when Mildred sits down to write a simple letter and ends with the couple’s appeal for social justice in front of the Supreme Court of the United States of America. ►Follow us on Facebook here This episode is brought to you by amiethedatingcoach.com Grab Amie's free Ebook, 5 Dating Traps to Avoid ►https://www.amiethedatingcoach.com/getlovenow  Title Song "Brave" by Sad Puppy Follow Sad Puppy on Twitter Follow Sad Puppy on Instagram
