How do you keep fighting for a marriage when it feels like you're the only one trying?In this episode, we talk about emotional neglect, vulnerability, communication, and why a lack of intimacy is often a symptom not the root issue. We also share our thoughts on the emotional weight of raising Black children in today's climate and how recent events have impacted our family.Patreon AftershowAfter the main episode, we have a much more personal conversation.We unpack the emotional impact of recent events—including the Carmelo Anthony case, Yvette being called a racial slur in public, and how those experiences are changing the way we think about raising our children.We also talk honestly about trust, fear, Black community, parenting in predominantly white spaces, and the difficult balance between protecting our kids and preparing them for the world they'll inherit.This is one of our more vulnerable Patreon conversations, and we hope it gives you a deeper look into what we're processing behind the scenes.Resources & LinksEmber mug Yvette Loves 🍵💍https://bit.ly/4lfn38iMentor Couple Wait List 🫂🖤https://forms.gle/VcUDRgf6km9kHWEK7New Single SUGAR WATER OUT JULY 7th PRE SAVE NOWhttps://monopoly.lnk.to/4epgfnRelease Rest Remain 📖✨https://a.co/d/ihBmSdOFather Yourself First 📘🔥https://www.amazon.com/Father-Yourself-First-Everything-Deserves/dp/1400252555Yvette’s Email List 💌🌿https://yvettehenry.com/join-the-listRelease Rest Remain Bible Reading Plan 🙏🏽📖https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/64646Premarital Advantage 💍🧠https://howmarriedareyoupodcast.mykajabi.com/offers/VAbsx8N2Black Men’s Meeting 🖤🗣️https://partiful.com/e/wtiRq3cXAF8fKLNiaBJS?c=KNcxpdYVHMAY Amazon Storefront (affiliate) 🛒✨https://www.amazon.com/shop/howmarriedareyou?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfshop_0EGMQR9KJ94D8YGCDMV7&language=en-USWAYS TO PARTNER WITH US: Get special access to things we’re working on, extra content from our fam, and more on Patreon: https://patreon.com/HMAYSupport us with a one-time gift through PayPal: www.paypal.me/HMAYpodcastCONNECT WITH US ON INSTAGRAM:HMAY Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/howmarriedareyou/Glen: https://www.Instagram.com/beleafmelYvette: https://www.Instagram.com/mrsmelaninChocolate Babes: https://www.instagram.com/chocolatebabies/WATCH BELEAF IN FATHERHOOD:https://www.youtube.com/c/BeleafInFatherhoodtv/Thank you so much for tuning into this episode of How Married Are You?!
