In this episode of Truly Unruly, Marcus and Jessica dive into a viral post about "what men actually want women to bring to the table" – and let's just say, we have THOUGHTS.

We break down why generic relationship advice often misses the mark, discuss the dangers of social media "playbooks," and explore what a real partnership actually looks like beyond surface-level expectations. From emotional maturity to supporting your partner's vision, we challenge the basic narratives that dominate relationship discourse online.

This conversation gets real about gender roles, conditioning, authenticity, and why people are so desperate for quick answers in our modern world. Plus, we touch on America's addiction to distraction, the dollar, and why we're all just trying to survive out here.

In this episode, we dive deep into what we love (and don't love) about 18 years of marriage. From vulnerability and commitment to the reality that marriage isn't always a fairytale, we keep it 100% real.

We also explore a Morgan Stanley study predicting that by 2030, nearly half of US women ages 25-44 will be single and child-free. Is this progress or a challenge to tradition? We discuss why younger generations are making different choices, the origins of marriage as an institution, and why personal choice should always come first.

Plus: arranged marriages, the pressure to conform, and why it's okay to "swipe till you die" if that's your choice. Marriage isn't for everyone—and that's perfectly fine.

In this episode, we dive deep into a controversial topic that sparked some heated debate between us: "Signs A Woman Couldn't Keep A Good Man If She Had One."

What We Discuss:

• Confusing disrespect with honesty and communication styles
• Double standards in relationships and how we speak to our partners
• The difference between stability and drama in relationships
• Using vulnerability as a weapon during arguments
• Self-sabotage and why some people are uncomfortable with healthy relationships
• The importance of accountability and self-awareness
• Breaking generational patterns and healing from past trauma
• Learning to love yourself before loving someone else

Key Takeaways:
This isn't just about women or men—it's about recognizing toxic patterns that prevent us from maintaining healthy relationships. We explore how childhood experiences, modeling behavior, and unhealed trauma can create cycles that sabotage good relationships. The conversation gets real about the hard work required to change patterns, the fear of vulnerability, and why being alone with yourself is essential before being with someone else.
