Published: Feb. 23, 2023, 11 a.m.

Welcome to Season 3 of Single You the podcast. I started this podcast in August of 2020, thank you for every listen, every review, every DM & every share. You have helped me stay consistent.

\n

Now let's get into the tea of S16 E5 & E6 of the reality show "Married at first sight": Marry Me in Tennessee, Nashville. What can we learn from the behaviors of these 3 couples? What behaviors do we not want to execute in our own dating lives?

\n

Statistic; "Married At First Sight" Has Matched 59 Couples So Far \u2014 15 couples are living happily ever after since the cameras stopped rolling. That's 25.4% of staying married. LESS than finding someone to marry on your own. (source)

\n
    \n
  • 2:56 Dominique & Mackinley. Are they really meant for each other? Red Flags we see.

  • \n
\n

\n
    \n

  • \n
  • What questions should we be asking about sex? 
  • \n
  • Should we be that honest when it comes to our attraction to our partner? 
  • \n
  • Shaquille & Kirsten. What does all that complaining mean for Shaq? 
  • \n

The first two seasons of \u201cSingle You\u201d have been about the journey into a toxic, abusive relationship and the journey out and into healing. They served a specific purpose and those shows will always be there.

\n

Now it\u2019s time to pivot; I want to go on a journey of proving that a marriage can be healthy, people can be happy but it all depends on the truth we tell to ourselves and the work we do.

\n

I speak to the Black woman of faith who desires to be married. Who wants to date with intention.
