In this episode of Caution Ahead, Scott and Angie explore the rise and fall of chivalry and what respect, kindness, and consideration look like today. From opening doors and old-school manners to modern relationships, boundaries, and independence, they unpack why chivalry feels absent—and why it might actually be more important than ever.

They discuss:

• The origins of chivalry and how its meaning has changed
• Why some people feel chivalry comes with “strings attached”
• How modern culture, equality, and constant urgency have reshaped expectations
• The difference between gestures and genuine respect
• What modern chivalry should look like in relationships, parenting, and everyday life
  
  
  

This conversation challenges the idea that chivalry is outdated and suggests it may simply struggle to survive in a world that’s always in a hurry.

This episode kicks off with one of Scott and Angie’s signature random questions, setting the tone for a fun, honest conversation before diving into one of the most common DIY arguments: why men tend to measure space while women tend to feel it.
From hanging pictures to furniture placement and TV mounting, they share hilarious real-life examples of how different approaches to space—numbers versus function—can turn simple DIY projects into debates.

Doubt is part of every faith journey, and how we handle it can define both us and our marriage.

They also discuss marriages that begin unequally yoked, including when one spouse is not Christian from the start. This episode explores mismatched marriages, spiritual growth after marriage, changing values, and how doubt can either divide a relationship or strengthen it.
