"Just pray and submit."
"Keep the house clean, the kids quiet, and your spouse satisfied."
"If it’s meant to be, it’ll be easy.”

Whew—who told us that?

In this episode of The Second Time Around, we’re tearing down the marriage myths we were fed—and talkin’ about the tension that lives between the vows and the real. Because let’s be honest: marriage ain’t magic. It's ministry, maturity, and choosing your person daily... even when they leave dishes in the sink.

We share our truth about the myths that almost tripped us up—myths rooted in tradition, religion, and sometimes just bad advice—and how we’re learning to rewrite the narrative with God, grace, and real grown-folk love.

This one’s for you if:

💬 You’ve been holding yourself hostage to unrealistic expectations
💬 You were told marriage would “fix” you—or your partner
💬 You need a reminder that hard doesn’t mean hopeless, and imperfect doesn’t mean broken

We’re getting into the unfiltered, faith-filled truth of what marriage really looks like after the wedding hashtag fades. Between the altar and the arguments, the covenant and the chaos, there’s a sacred space where real love grows.
