Ep 52: What’s Off Limits Once You’re Married?

Caroline had a girls’ night last night…and showed up to record this episode with one of the worst hangovers of her life. So naturally, that leads us into a completely reasonable conversation about marriage boundaries. 😂How late is too late to stay out without your spouse? Is it okay to accept a drink from another guy? What about opposite-sex friends, texting an ex, having a “work husband” or “work wife,” strip clubs, giving someone your Instagram, or following thirst trap accounts?We go through a whole list of situations and decide what we’re personally okay with, what feels disrespectful, and what is an immediate absolutely-not.Plus, Caroline embarrasses Shane, we confess one of our worst parenting moments ever, and somehow a smart lamp becomes part of the hangover recovery process.As always, these are just our opinions and what works in our marriage. Let us know where YOUR lines are because we already know some of y’all are going to disagree with us.---🎙️ New episodes every week📺 Watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get podcasts*💬 SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS:*Got a topic or question for us?
