Episode 11: Meagan and Nick - This is our life now?

All relationships require sacrifice. Blending two lives requires give and take by both people to decide where to live, what Netflix shows to watch together, etc. When children are added to the equation, those sacrifices multiply seemingly exponentially. So when Meagan and Nick, to well established young professionals, decided to get married and then have kids, something (or someone) had to give! Well, in truth, they both had to give, and still do! Meagan and Nick are a great example of how when both people sacrifice for the common good, a beautiful relationship can result!
Meagan and Nick met on a blind date, set up by a mutual friend. Both being in their early 30s, neither were strangers to meeting new potential dating partners. With expectations set appropriately low, they were both pleasantly surprised that their friend was able to get things so right for both of them! Several years later with a child, they open up about the ups and downs of leaving behind your well-established life in the hopes of something better! They discuss merging households, making career sacrifices, the care of a child with health issues, and more!

Episode 12: Andres and Phillip - Making Your Own Template

As an interracial gay couple living in an extremely conservative state, Andres and Phillip don't exactly fit the stereotypical mold of most of the married couples that they see around them. But instead of spending too much time just trying to blend in, these two are learning to embrace what makes their relationship uniquely special and being comfortable with who they are. It's not always easy living in a world where the templates for how a relationship is "supposed" to work doesn't necessarily apply to you, but Andres and Phillip are working to build their own unique happiness.
While both originally from Utah, Andres and Phillip first met through a dating app while both attending grad school in rural Oregon. What started as a seeming happy coincidence has grown into a happy marriage. Listen in as they discuss how their religious upbringing connects them, some of the often-overlooked challenges of being in a non-heterosexual relationship, as well as... Andres' Fuego?
