Each show we will discuss and debate some of our day to day thoughts. We'll take a deep dive into some interesting questions and situations that we face as a young couple. #WattsUpNext is definitely a play on words but it is also our livelihood. We often ask each other, what is the next step? How can we be better? With that we invite you to join us as we debunk some topics that transpire in our millennial relationship. Join in on the conversation via Twitter by using #WattsUpNext or tweeting @WattsUpNext and follow our IG page @Watts_UpNext.

They say communication RULES the NATION. Well....... if it is done ineffectively, it can also RUIN the RELATIONship. Having different communication styles has always been a struggle for us.

How many times do we find ourselves going through the motions? It’s okay because it’s not always a bad thing.... if you’re just trying to maintain. However, if it’s change you desire, it is going to take more than average effort. We must understand what is truly required when we want to grow in an area of our lives.

"You create the standard in which others hold you accountable to." - Demetrius Watts Have you ever created a standard for yourself, whether conscious or subconscious, and people took it upon themselves to hold you to it? If so, this is a prime example of how our actions truly do speak louder than our words. Our regular actions create the EXPECTATION others will have for us. But the reality is... we may only hear about the shortcomings when we do not meet the standard. Thank you for listening!

“Some people cannot carry the burden of joy” Have you ever felt yourself subconsciously critique an achievement of a peer or stranger before positively acknowledging it?

Watts vocalizes his confusion with why there are people who are strongly against the finances being divided evenly within a relationship. It’s often men who are expected to provide and financially support the household. Is that still a fair expectation within a dual-income household? Justeen sheds light on how women create checklists with hopes of finding "Mr. Right". But we wonder if that comes at the expense of passing on great people? Thank you for listening!

Did you know that the average millennial has a net worth of $8,000, which is less than the amount that our parents were worth 40 years ago? Yeah, we didn’t know that either. So this week, we’re talking about the facts and how social media constantly influences our financial decisions. Subconsciously, most millennials like us tend to internalize what we see and hear on social media which has lead some of us to incur debt and cultivate bad spending habits. Today, we will acknowledge financial mistakes that we’ve made and how we’ve tackled big financial decisions in the past. Your biggest take away from this episode is how to maintain self control when you have those spontaneous moments where you feel the need to splurge. Thank you for listening!

Who do you go to when you seek advice or guidance? Do you confide in family, friends, coworkers, or professional mentors? It is recommend that an individual create their “board of directors” - these would be a group of people who possess sound judgment and your best interest at heart. Even if it may differ from your own desires. Thank you for listening!

Let's talk about SPIRITUALITY!!! Listen in on the discussion about the challenges we face with our own spirituality, individually and as a unit.

Demetrius shares his sentiment on never being excited to celebrate Father's Day, battling generational curses, and creating his own legacy. Despite coming from different parenting dynamics, Demetrius and Justeen both express the importance of a father's presence. We celebrate and commend the men who have served their role as a father, and we empower the women who have been faced with the challenge of filling the void. Thank you for listening!
