Between The Vows and The Real

"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.

Back In Business: (the Relaunch)

"You gots to chill…"But after the chill comes the comeback. And baby, we're Back in Business.
Inspired by that 1997 EPMD classic, this episode is all about the Reset, the Rebuild, and the Real. When life tried to throw us off beat, we had to fall back, let God remix the rhythm, and come back harder—with more clarity, more covering, and more conviction.
In this season opener of The Second Time Around, we're talkin':🎤 Why we pressed pause—and how God used the silence to speak🎤 The pressure of loving out loud while leading in ministry🎤 What it looks like to protect your peace and still hold each other down🎤 How love matures when you let it breathe
This one's for you if:💬 You've ever needed a minute to collect yourself before stepping back into your purpose💬 You know the cost of ministry, marriage, and momentum—and you're still willing to pay it💬 You're ready to move in faith with grown-folk love and real-deal boundaries
This ain't just a podcast. It's a movement. A marriage. A ministry. And we're just getting started—again.
