From expecting dinner at a certain time every day, gender roles, or even how you spend your money - we all have an idea of what we do and don't desire in a partnership. Couples Jia & Elijah and Tanai and Wesley let us know how marriage surprised them and what examples they grew up with that they had to unlearn to make their marriage a success.

    Could listen to Kevin and Melissa all day. I love that they're hosting this season of Couch Conversations. Long may it continue!

    Sometimes having expectations set you up for disappointment and it’s better to just have standards and boundaries.

    Expectations: long, long honeymoon phase, male spiritual leadership, being taken care of financially, twin, continued dating, semi-carefree living... Reality: fading honeymoon phase, female spiritual leadership, taking care of things financially, miscarriage, no dates, adulting... I so needed this conversation!
  • I love to hear real conversations from real couples living in the real world with the rest of us. I am in a season where I am learning the importance of learning from others' experiences. I do not have to go through it to learn the life lesson.

    I’m not black and I’m not in a relationship, but this video came up on my feed, I said I love the Fredericks, lemme watch this couch conversation 🎬🎬🎬🦋🦋🦋

    I love all couples but Jia, you are amazing. You are so real. And yes without a firm foundation God everything falls to pieces
  • I lived together in peace and love with 3 of my longterm partners. We shared duties for the mostpart, food, driving, music, love letters etc. Rational ups as well as downs but communicative and patient love through them. Both these couples have elements of my previous relationships. I love and prefer soft relationships with really good communication. I need a complete detoxifying overhaul. Rebuild some bridges. Get myself, and my One man Longterm Black Love. P.E.A.C.E
  • I love these conversations. Even eating Melissa’s show #theLoveHour my wife and I realized I relate to m Melissa and she relates to Kevin. My wife is the creative and I’m the structure person. Similarly from this conversation, my wife is already ready to talk about stuff and I’m the one who needs to process things.
  • Loving all of the couples on this episode especially the Mirandas 😊
