IS ‘THE ONE’ A MYTH? Love, Marriage & Sp...

Zainab Al Yakoob and Mia Al Abdulrazzak
About this episode

Buckle up, it’s a juicy one! This Wednesday, we’re busting the myth of “The One” and diving deep into marriage—realistic vs. delusional expectations and how love changes as we age. We’re reading your Let’s Get Spicy takes on love’s role in marriage, and trust us, you didn’t hold back! We also tackle whether love really grows, and dive into the rise of lavender marriages (are we into it?). Meanwhile, Mia’s asking to be disrespected, and Zainab’s on the hunt for her next fixer-upper. Plus, we’re breaking down how friendships evolve through life’s phases. All this and more in this week’s episode!
