Episode 66: Marriage Myths & Listener Financial Questions
Lindsey and Brett get into something a lot of people feel but do not always say out loud: the pressure to look financially okay, even when things are tighter than they seem. They talk through common money mistakes, what it really means to be financially stable, and why so many people end up making decisions that look fine on the outside but create stress behind the scenes.
They also shift into some of the biggest relationship myths couples hear all the time, including whether love is enough, whether you should never go to bed angry, and the idea that your partner should complete you. It is a real conversation about expectations, communication, independence, and what actually helps a marriage last. In this episode, they cover:
why some people pretend they are doing better financially than they really are
