In this episode, the Aunties discuss the days of MySpace and Black Planet, when things were still simple and we were less emotionally attached to the online world. Their experiences with people approaching them to date online. They also discuss simple and effective ways to conduct yourself online when you're married, single, or in a relationship. Studies show that social media can have lasting effects on romantic relationships in a negative way.

Securing the marital bag
Are you single and wondering how you will handle finances in a relationship or marriage? Are you the financial saver in your relationship, but your partner likes to spend? Do you and your spouse keep your finances separate? Do you maintain a "rainy day" fund?
If you said yes to any of the above, then this episode will surely resonate. The Aunties discuss one of the top reasons couples divorce in America, finances. They delve into ways single people that live with their partner can manage household bills and feeling secure not being the breadwinner in your marriage. Ultimately it's up to you and your partner to figure out what works best for the two of you. Communication and honesty is the key to being equally yoked financially and sustaining a healthy relationship.
