Episode Description

Not every conflict in marriage is about who's right.Sometimes it's about two people trying their best... while carrying different priorities.In this episode of How Married Are You?, what starts as a disagreement over youth hockey and Girl Scouts turns into a much bigger conversation about marriage, ambition, parenting, family systems, and what happens when every "good thing" begins competing for your attention.After the main episode, we answer a listener's question about navigating different parenting styles when one parent feels the other is creating unnecessary stress for the kids. We unpack how we've learned to disagree without undermining each other, why presenting a united front matters, and how we've handled parenting mistakes over the years.Then the conversation takes an unexpected turn as we react to a viral clip asking whether we'd ever get married again if something happened to one of us. It's an honest discussion about the work marriage requires, why we value what we've built together, and what 16 years of choosing each other has taught us about love, commitment, and legacy.If you enjoy the deeper, unfiltered conversations that don't always make the public episode, join us on Patreon for the full aftershow.PRE SAVE NEW SONG SUGAR WATER JULY 7thhttps://monopoly.lnk.to/4epgfnResources & LinksEmber mug Yvette Loves 🍵💍https://bit.ly/4lfn38iMentor Couple Wait List 🫂🖤https://forms.gle/VcUDRgf6km9kHWEK7Release 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/kuXEBUC7PHfydRmI3sz4?HMAY 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?!
