26. Marriage Edition - Can We Say This Out Loud?

from No Bras Required · host Meghan Retseck & Patti Johnston

Marriage is beautiful. Marriage is messy. And sometimes… marriage is lying in bed wondering how someone's breathing could possibly be that annoying. In this episode, Patti and Meghan get real about what long-term marriage actually looks like once kids, businesses, exhaustion, and real life enter the picture. From snoring husbands and midnight newborn shifts to the mental load of motherhood and the truth about love languages, they unpack the parts of marriage nobody really prepares you for. But through all the chaos, the laundry arguments, and the dishwasher-loading wars, one thing remains true. Marriage is work. And it's also completely worth it. This conversation is honest, hilarious, and deeply relatable for anyone balancing marriage, parenting, and running a business. In This Episode We Talk About Why marriage is both harder and better than anyone tells you The shift from romance to real partnership after kids The invisible mental load many mums carry in family life Why communication (especially the hard conversations) matters so much The concept of "giver vs taker" in relationships How friendships inside marriage keep you connected Why you'll probably have the same argument forever Love languages and learning to meet your partner's needs If you've ever been annoyed by your spouse's breathing, fought about the dishwasher, or wondered how marriage changed so much after kids… this episode is for you.

They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
