  • Ep 1: Nadiya & Abdal Hussain: Rearranged
    Jun 23 2021

    Can you imagine building a life with someone you had barely met? Idris & Sabrina sit down with Nadiya Hussain – the breakout star of The Great British Bake Off – and her husband Abdal to talk about living in an arranged marriage and how that marriage had to change when Nadiya entered the public eye.

    Coupledom discusses mature themes and in this episode there is a reference to sexual abuse which some listeners may find upsetting. Listener discretion is advised. If any of the themes in this conversation have affected you, then there are links to organisations that may help you.

  • Ep 3: Mary & Sharon Bishop-Baldwin: A Shelter in the Storm
    Jun 23 2021

    For most of us, wedding planning means shopping for dresses and touring venues. For Mary & Sharon, it meant suing the government for the right to get married in the first place. Their case – which went all the way to the US Supreme Court – was a pivotal milestone in the fight for marriage equality. How did their partnership sustain them through their decade long legal battle – and why was it a battle they felt called to take on in the first place?

Very engaging

I really enjoyed Idris and Sabrina's energy. I love how normal they are - not that they ever proposed to be anything else, but you know what I mean! I sometimes feel we lead such different lifes, that our relationships couldn't be similar in any way, shape or form.
Very engaging content, light hearted at times but it also talks about heavier subjects. Quite a nice listen.

Relational families

This was surprisingly good. I never really watch the reality TV version of this family's life. But this I could do!

Beautiful energy from this podcast 😍

What a powerful first episode. I just love what this podcast represents. There is an honesty about it that's beautiful and it's lovely to see Idris and Sabrina really give the stage to their guests and listen instead. As someone who has been happily married for 10 years, I absolutely loved listening to Nadiya and Abdal and felt inspired by them ❤

Not what I was expecting

This is a really great series. I had expected the couples to all be romantically involved, but the format worked really well with couplets who were best friends or relatives. Lots of great insights to making the business relationship work for them and the business whilst preserving the connection which brought them together in the first place. The story of Nadia and her husband and the story of the couple from Oklahoma were so touching. it was lovely to see the selfless support they gave one another and the recognition that if one of them achieved, they both achieved. I look forward to future series.
