Midwest Married

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, it's all about roommates. We've all had a roommate who left dishes in the sink or cranked the thermostat a little too high — but what about the one who stole your vibrator? Or the one who tried to poison your snacks so you'd stop eating their food? Yeah… this episode isn't your average roommate rant. From stealing furniture to next-level passive-aggressive behavior, we're sharing the most ridiculous roommate stories we've ever heard — plus a few personal ones. Whether you had a college roommate who “borrowed” your stuff permanently or you're currently living with someone who treats the fridge like a free-for-all, this one's for you.

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 get personal about the "Birds & the Bees" convo while reliving our own memories of the talk. We dive into some jaw-dropping Reddit stories that make puberty even more complicated than it already is. We're talking moms who think manscaping is immoral, girlfriends who think period education between siblings is disturbing, and a hygiene-obsessed mom shaming her daughter for not being a "clean lady." And yes, we go there: hair or no hair down there? It's more than just personal—it's divisive. Buckle up, because this one gets hairy… literally.

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. Buckle up—our third episode of listener write-ins takes us everywhere. We kick things off with the excitement of moving out at 18... but make it spicy by adding a significant other to the mix. Nothing tests young love quite like sharing bills, chores, and passive-aggressive texts from your mom. Next, we take a serious turn as a listener asks if they should reconnect with a former role model who has since... well, unalived someone. It's a tough one, and we try our best to walk the fine line between thoughtful advice and not spiraling into a true crime podcast. Finally, we dive into one of the internet's most controversial questions: is it ever okay to propose at, or around, someone else's wedding?  As always: awkward laughs, questionable advice, and zero regrets.

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. It's birthday season over at Midwest Married—and with all the candles comes all the chaos. In this episode, we unwrap everything from cake catastrophes to over-the-top efforts to make someone feel special (and the ungrateful guests who still aren't satisfied). We get into the pressure of trying not to disappoint Grandma, even when the only thing your wine-loving heart really wants to do is to wear a crown and drink mead. (looking at you, Ren Fest). Do you bend to family expectations, or do you fight for your right to party in chainmail?

And yes, we read some absolutely unhinged Reddit stories that will make you feel way better about your own family. Because let's be real — it's all good until your in-laws says that thing, at that moment, and suddenly everyone's pretending everything's fine.

House projects: A true test of love, patience, and whether or not you'll make it out still speaking to each other. From quick fixes that turn into weekend-long sagas to the ultimate challenge—building bunk beds without a meltdown, Matt and Amy dive into the reality of tackling projects as a couple. Hanging curtains? Should've hired a professional. Grocery runs? Why do we even have a list if we're not following it? Building a house? Maybe too much bonding time. Bunk beds? Nothing like holding a power drill and biting your tongue at the same time. Of course, we're not alone—so we're bringing in Reddit's finest home project fails to remind us that at least we didn't burn the house down (yet).

Second chances – are they a blessing or a big ol' mistake?
