Time is one of the most valuable currencies in a relationship—and how you distribute it determines whether love feels secure or slowly starts to starve. In this episode of Marriage Material, we dig into what it really means to distribute time intentionally and equitably so both partners feel fulfilled—not just present, but prioritized. From work and parenting to friendships, self-care, and personal goals, we unpack how imbalance creates resentment, emotional distance, and silent frustration. We ask the real questions: • Is “being busy” an excuse or a blind spot? • Can time be equal if needs are different? • How do you fix a relationship where one person feels emotionally rich and the other feels time-poor? This conversation isn’t about keeping score—it’s about creating safety, connection, and sustainability in love. Because in healthy relationships, time isn’t just spent… it’s invested.

Topic: Pride vs. Prideful & When You’re More Mad Than the Person Involved In this episode of Relationship Reality Podcast, we unpack two relationship dynamics that quietly destroy communication, connection, and peace if left unchecked: pride vs. pridefulness and misplaced anger. We break down the difference between having pride—which protects your values, boundaries, and self-respect—and being prideful, where ego takes over and blocks growth, accountability, and healing. Then we ask the uncomfortable but necessary question: Can you be more mad than the person actually involved? From relationships and marriages to friendships and family situations, we explore how carrying outrage that isn’t yours can escalate conflict, distort reality, and turn support into sabotage. In this conversation, we challenge listeners to examine: • When pride becomes a wall instead of a backbone • How ego disguises itself as loyalty or protection • Why being overly angry might signal unresolved personal triggers • The difference between defending someone and projecting your own pain This episode is a mirror—not a lecture. Because sometimes the real issue isn’t what happened… it’s who we became while reacting to it.
