Love, Laughs & Learning Curves
from The Second Time Around Hosted by LaShan and Makela Mims
🎶 “We laugh just a little too loud… stand just a little too close…” Love hits different when you’ve lived long enough to know: sometimes laughter is ministry, and growth doesn’t come without a few bumps. In this episode, we get real, and really funny, about the quirks, inside jokes, and “you had to be there” moments that make our marriage what it is. But it’s not all laughs. We also discuss the learning curves that come with a second marriage, including trust, vulnerability, and learning to lean into each other, even when it’s hard. We’ll share: 💬 Why humor is our secret weapon during tense moments 💬 How we learned to embrace each other’s quirks instead of changing them 💬 The aha moments that helped our love mature 💬 Tips to keep joy alive when life feels heavy Whether you’re building something new, a veteran couple, or figuring it out again, this one’s for anyone who knows that love takes work—and is worth it.
