What IS the male ego—and why does it cause so much friction in relationships? In this powerful episode of Life After I Do, Kynesha and Morice dive deep into the psychology behind ego, identity, and connection in love.

With our signature mix of humor and heart, we break down:
🔹 How the male ego often ties to feeling respected, desired, and capable
🔹 Why many women feel pressured to dim their light to make their partner feel secure
🔹 The difference between manipulating your partner’s ego vs. honoring their essence

💬 “Do I have to stroke his ego to keep the peace?”
We explore this tricky question and how the most resilient relationships uplift BOTH partners—without one person having to shrink.

💡 Small gestures, like making a sandwich after a long day or that wild balcony moment on vacation (you’ll want to hear this!), can mean the world when they come from a place of genuine recognition and appreciation.

🔥 In our “Two Cents” segment, we tackle a story that will have you speechless:
A man gets left for an “alpha male,” only for his wife to return when the fantasy crumbles.
💔 Should he take her back?
💥 Is forgiveness strength—or self-sabotage?
The debate gets real, and we don’t hold back.

This episode will challenge how you view your partner's ego—and your own. Whether you're navigating love, rebuilding trust, or just trying to understand each other better, this conversation will leave you with clarity, tools, and laughs.
