In this episode, we pit the age-old conversation of doing for your partner. When you're in a relationship, it can be easy to lose sight of what matters. To get caught up in the day-to-day and forget why you're together. Doing for each other is key as you both sacrifice to ensure the relationship keeps the love and respect. So why not, “Make daddy a sandwich”?

This episode dives into the generation gap between parents/grandparents and children being raised in the fast-growing technology world in which we live today. Not only is there a generation gap but there is also a communication gap. As a result, we are disconnected and isolated from engagement and also, what's going on in our teenager's world today. The generation gap is real and present; it’s not going away, so we have to figure out how to bridge this gap.

This episode is packed with knowledge, experience, creativity, and the sheer faith in God to persevere through trying times, as the odds are defied - raising a son with a dream.

We have been married for 33 years, and we are still in love and consider each other to be our best friends. We have had our ups and downs, but we have always managed to get through it all. One very critical key for us was learning how to communicate with each other and understanding that communication is at the very heart of any relationship. We discussed everything from racism to religion. There are not too many subjects that are off the table for us, because we want to ensure we share our truths - even when it may be the hardest conversation to endure. Let’s get into it!

In this episode, we tackle questions & comments from other interracial couples. Having a relationship is already tricky within itself, but when you step into the interracial arena, it gets a bit more involved. Although we live in a society that's a bit more progressive, there are still areas as well as people who continue to disapprove of interracial love. They often offer comments, micro-aggressions, and questions that show their disapproval.
