episode My Wife Says I'm Not Romantic... After This Conversation, I Get It. cover

Description

I always thought I was showing love in the right ways. My wife disagreed. In this episode, we unpack why Alexis thinks I'm not romantic, how we define romance completely differently, and why couples can unintentionally miss each other's efforts. From flowers and date nights to food, quality time, and feeling truly seen, this conversation challenged a lot of my assumptions about marriage. Have you and your spouse ever realized you were speaking different love languages without knowing it? Let us know in the comments.

Alexis Wants to Move to Japan for an $800/Night 'Birth House'

In this episode of we’re diving into some big life updates and a concept that completely changed how Alexis views postpartum care: the Japanese "Birth House." 🇯🇵👶 After researching the culture of postpartum support in Japan—where mothers can stay in a dedicated "birth house" for around $800/night to focus entirely on recovery—Alexis is ready to pack her bags! We discuss the importance of mother-centered care, why the U.S. might be missing the mark, and whether we can actually justify the cost (Augustus has some thoughts on that!). We also get into: 💃 Our Salsa Journey: The "cross-body lead" and why it almost caused a fight. 📱 New Morning Habits: Augustus is finally leaving his phone downstairs! 💰 The Money Debate: Are you a "cushion" or a "couch" person when it comes to savings? 🛠️ The Bike Rack Saga: How a simple car upgrade turned into a lesson in community (and why you need the right tools!). Questions for the Community: Would you consider "birth tourism" or a birth house for $800/night? Are you a sleeper who wakes up to check your phone, or can you sleep through the night like Alexis? In your relationship, who is the "saver" and who is the "spender"?
