But is that true? Or were there very practical reasons you got together?
We explore this balance of "romantic vs. practical" in this episode of Bread & Wine, and why it might be good to have a little bit of both.

When we do remember to love each other the way we like to be loved, our relationship truly grows. Nicole and I discuss what our love languages are and discuss our rocky path to finding how each of us likes to be loved.

Nicole and I have seen some tough days in our relationship. There's been yelling, name-calling, and even marriage counseling.
We’ve also had excellent days where we’ve felt appreciated, loved, and thrilled that we’ve chosen to be with each other. So the big question is … How do we get more excellent days in our marriages?

Based on our income this year, we will be receiving the tax credit and could be upwards of $500 per month starting in July.
Once again, Nicole and I completely disagree with what to do with this new money. We debate how we should use it and options for other families to figure out their plans for the stimulus money.

Love is in the air! But do opposites attract?
Nicole and I talk about our larger-than-normal tax refund and we both have VERY different views on what to do with the money. We over-analyze our differences with money and ponder about other differences and opposites in relationships.
Can these types of differences work in relationships over the long term?
We hash and out and decide.

Wondering how your marriage roles lately?
Is it okay to change from your current station in marriage?
Perhaps you're ready to go back to work instead of being a stay-at-home parent or you're ready to take on more of the domestic duties.
Andy and Nicole discuss how their roles have changed throughout their 10-year marriage.
They share the pros and cons of working full-time and being a stay-at-home parent full-time.
What is your current role in marriage? Are you ready for a change?
Should the man always pay for dinner on dates?
What about dinners with friends? How do you handle that?
Nicole grew up in a different culture than Andy and they discuss how this "paying for dinner" situation has caused a lot of controversy in their marriage.
