    30: Pillow Talk
    Nov 20 2024
    Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life.

    This week on Midwest Married, we’re getting cozy and diving into all things sleep. From how we snooze best to the debates around separate beds (and how it might actually spice up your love life), we’re talking it out. But of course, things get… interesting. Is it ever okay to go braless to bed, even if it’s distracting to your brother-in-law? And we couldn’t skip the ultimate question: is 17 too old to be cuddled by your parents?

    Grab your blanket—it’s about to get awkward (and hilarious).

    Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life.

    In this Midwest Married episode, we're exploring spicy reads, booktok, and reading obsessions! Need your next book fix? Amy has recommendations. From the differences in men’s and women’s reading habits to full-blown reading infatuations, we’re diving in. Plus, we’re tackling the spiciest question of all: can a “spicy” book actually be considered cheating? And, of course, we can’t leave out Amy’s own book obsession—who knew “just one more chapter” could turn into a lifestyle?

    Join us as we laugh, debate, and get lost in the pages of romance, spice, and reading obsessions

    Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life.

    This week on Midwest Married, return guests Sarah and Nate hilariously share their insights and skepticism regarding all things psychic.

    From chilling encounters to psychic predictions that hit a little too close to home, we’re talking about what it’s like to navigate these eerie experiences. Do you believe in ghosts? Or do you think it’s all just smoke and mirrors? Either way, we’ve got something for everyone in this episode, blending the spooky with a touch of humor.

    Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life.

    This week on Midwest Married, we’re digging into the awkward, hilarious, and downright weird situations that pop up when dealing with the whole “’til death do us part” thing. From catching your spouse mid-reminiscence about their intimate glory days, to heated family debates over where to bury the body (because why keep it simple, right?), we’re sharing some wild stories. Plus, Amy’s got her own plans for how she wants to be processed after death, and let’s just say… it’s not your typical farewell.

    With all the unexpected twists and turns that come with losing a loved one, we’re tackling it all—grief, family drama, and of course, plenty of laughs along the way. You won’t want to miss these shocking (and surprisingly funny) tales!

    Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life.

    This week on Midwest Married, we tackle some of the toughest challenges a relationship can face: cheating, divorce, and coparenting. Because nothing says “modern love” quite like balancing a breakup with shared custody, right?

    We’re joined by a special guest who’s lived through it all - infidelity, divorce papers, and the tricky task of coparenting. From figuring out how to co-parent with someone who used to drive you crazy to rebuilding trust after it’s been broken, this episode is full of advice with a side of laughter (because hey, if you don’t laugh, you might cry).

    Whether you're living through it or just trying to understand how people survive this rollercoaster, we’ve got the real talk, the humor, and a few surprises along the way!
