"Miscommunication leads to complication." -Lauryn Hill There's a reason all the experts (and even non-experts) say communication is key to sustaining a relationship. Not understanding the thoughts and feelings behind someone's words, actions and body language can cause great harm, both in and outside of romantic relationships. When you're in a relationship, it's your job to make sure your words can't be misconstrued, and to take extra steps to calm the situation when they are. In this episode, we talk about some of the barriers that stand in the way of effective communication, and the exercises we use to get around them.

What are the characteristics of real love? Using the popular passage from 1 Corinthians, we dive deep and recount stories of how some of those characteristics can be quite elusive. We also may have gone on a tangent or two... but you still love us. Right? **Scripture Reference: **1 Corinthians 13:4-7 You can listen to more episodes, support the show financially or even contact us with questions by visiting http://www.reallovepodcast.com

When we got married (5 years ago today), we thought we knew it all. In our minds, we were a power couple who couldn't be bothered with the 'growing pains' phase of marriage. Little did we know, we were in for the ride of our lives. In Part 3 of our premiere, you'll hear just how different marriage was from all our expectations, and how hard we had to fight to make sure we still liked each other at the end of the night.
