Why do people still choose marriage — and what does it really mean once the celebration is over?

from Yay to be Gay - Relationships and more... · host Erwin and Mauricio de Jong Oliveira

In this candid, funny, and deeply honest episode of Yay to Be Gay – Relationships and More, Erwin and Mau reflect on their own 20-year relationship and the unconventional, practical, and profoundly loving reasons behind their decision to marry. From immigration struggles and cultural misunderstandings to legal protection, emotional commitment, and the quiet work of growing together, they explore what marriage can mean for queer couples today.Along the way, they unpack love and visas, money and communication, weddings that sometimes serve everyone except the couple, and the everyday choices that keep a long-term relationship alive long after romance settles into real life.Blending humour, vulnerability, and coaching insight, this episode invites you to reflect on whether marriage is right for you and how to approach commitment with intention rather than pressure.
