Get A Hobby or Get Out

Dammit, I Said No

Join Neil and Phyllis, a real-life couple who's been in the trenches of marriage for over 20 years. Get ready for a hilarious and honest look at what it REALLY means to say no in a marriage. This week, on Just Try'n To Stay Married Today, Neillis talk about the power (and potential bullshit) of saying "no" in your relationship. You'll hear why they believe the person who says "no" always wins. If they don’t then you may have a problem in your relationship. Saying “no" is not something your partner should lose their shit over. Unless you’re a controlling, manipulative fill in the blank. Face it, marriage isn't always rainbows and sunshine. But getting mad at the little things just makes for a messy marriage. #marriage #relationships #comedy #marriagecomedy #longtermlove #podcast

Get A Hobby or Get Out

When you just try’n stay married, somethings gotta give or somebody’s gotta go. At least that’s what Neil and Phyllis say. You share a bed, a house, a child, do we really have to share hobbies? If you just try’n stay married today, one of y’all go find something to do without the other one calling to check up on you. Even if your wedding vows include the words, “two become one,” they did not mean for you to take that literally. Now go find you some business.

Who's Better At "Staying In Your Lane?"

What is it about staying in your lane that you don’t understand? Neil and Phyllis are trying to figure that out. Phyllis doesn’t know what her lane is and Neil says, “I’m just gone shut up.” Staying in your lane while married is not easy and none of that happy wife, happy life shit either. The best way to stay in your lane, as a married couple, is to trust that your spouse knows best, FOR THEM. If you’re gonna get bossy about it, you’re asking for trouble in your relationship. And Neil says, “I’m just gone shut up,” cause he's just try’n to stay married today.

The Hunger Games: Marriage Edition

Neil is the adventurous foodie in the family and Phyllis is the creature of habit. When two such people have to decided on a meal, nobody eats on time. So they're just try'n to stay married before dinner. Neil does the grocery shopping, cooking, and the dishes and Phyllis can’t decide what to eat. I bet if he stops cooking she’ll figure it out quick, fast, and in a hurry. But would they make it to anniversary number 21. When married folx have a food fight you better not throw anything.

Will Working Together DESTROY Your Marriage

Money and marriage is one thing. Business and marriage takes it up a notch. Neil and Phyllis owned and operated Bigmista’s together for over ten years. It was the most stressful time of their marriage and yet they still find the ability to shack off the dumb shit. They can laugh about it now but you can be sure there were thoughts of divorce dancing through their heads like sugarplums at Christmas. Give a listen and get a laugh in return.
