Spousonomics: Pt. 2 (The Everything Bagel of Grievances)
We've often said that marriage is a business, but according to the book, Spousonomics, by Paula Szuchman & Jenny Anderson, it's really a lot more like the economy...complicated.
Get the book here.
This amazing book is so chock full of great marriage advice we read it twice and had to split it into 2 parts!
If you grew up believing you should never go to bed angry, that's just "Loss Aversion".
Found yourself talking about how you should have more sex, but can't seem to get around to it? That's just a good old fashioned case of "Supply and Demand".
Turns out that a laissez faire attitude is great for capitalism, but not so much for a relationship.
In Part2, we dive into the last 4 economic principles that can make your marriage bubble burst:
Trade-Offs
Asymmetric Information
Intertemporal Choice
Bubbles
Then we reveal some of the strategies that can help bring you back from full on market meltdown.
At the end of the day, when 1/2 of marriages fail, having a little insurance on one of life's biggest investment is smart move!

Deja Vu, How 'Bout You?
Can we be done with COVID yet? After a week, where our concert was cancelled just as family arrived in town to see it, all of our friends got sick, Nola turned 1 year old, and Emily's work closed for 10 days, we admittedly felt a little 2020 PTSD.
We decided to check in with each other, and dig into how we're feeling...hint...it's not great.
We discuss dealing with past trauma, grieving the loss of our former selves in a way that we're still trying to wrap our head around after a pandemic/baby one two punch.
Nate discusses how feeling defeated, led him to defy airport employees because life has been so out of control lately.
At the end of the day, we are two tired people, who were feeling particularly downtrodden, and just hit record to show up as authentically messy as we could for 80 minutes.
So while BA.5 tears across the country, and you find yourself having Deja Vu of March 2020 all over again, join us in solidarity.
