Married Not Dead

**Best of MND rereleased episode** The boys are out this week, enjoy this audience and host favorite episode. We will be back with new episodes on Tuesday 1/16. - MND Crew.   Hello MND'ers! In this episode, we are down one man as Brian recovers from a mind-numbing tooth extraction. No problem though, as the three of us held it down all the same. Following this month's theme, 'Do You Even Know Me,' we all took online personality tests and had our wives take them, too. We found that each of our wives shares the same personality type: ESFJ (Extroverted, Observant, Feeling, Judging). We discuss what this means for each of us as well as the following topics: What is the future of women in film? What will be the blowback from the recent rash of sexual harassment/assault allegations?  Can a woman bully a man? Should a man admit it even if it's happening?  Chris and Nick discuss a few workplace misunderstandings and we all question whether not the terms masculine and feminine be removed from our collective vocabulary?    Enjoy, and as always, please subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.

Hello MND'ers! In this episode, we go deep on the Keaton Jones bullying video that went viral on Twitter and Facebook and discover the differences in our takes on the video and the externalities. We ask the following questions:   Can a kid be a racist?  Should Keaton be a celebrity?  What's the GoFundMe money for and should there be a national anti-bullying fund?  What are the limits of two wrongs don't make a right?     From there we move on to our primary topic series, Priorities And Expectations, where we discuss the following:      The concept of "Getting Back to Zero" and how to avoid getting there What are the baseline expectations we should have in a relationship?  What's the one expectation that you regularly meet that would cause chaos in your relationship if you stopped doing it?      Enjoy, and as always, please subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.

Hello MND'ers! In this episode, we have some fun trading a few stories about our past and discussing the role(s) expectations play when shopping for Christmas presents (or any present for that matter). From there we move on to our primary topic series, Priorities and Expectations, where we discuss the following:    Does having daily expectations in a relationship create a lack of appreciation for one another?  How does one reconcile when we or our partners stop recognizing our contributions to the relationship? What if the behavior and lifestyle that makes you happy, make your spouse unhappy?   Enjoy, and as always, please subscribe, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.
