Marriage is a legal binding process between two people. This episode looks at some misconception of the process versus the human bonding/emotions. The alarming divorce rate is driven by this misconception, mixed with cultural misinformation. The host looks at the expectations required for a more stable union including the courting/dating process. The take-away is that the day you say “I do” is not the day that one becomes married.

Can men and women be just friends? In this epic response, the host answers this question with caution. Platonic relationships usually involve very strong feelings of love, respect, gratitude and human bond. Mixed with the strong attraction of shared interests and belief systems, this can be a perfect breathing ground for a platonic relation to cross over into something romantic. Establishing ground rules from the onset can further strengthen the platonic relationship, ensuring a lasting friendship.

In this episode, friendship is explored in a way that literally defines its meaning and helps listeners to better understand the criteria of friendship. We look at the different levels in the circle of friendship and how boundaries can protect all parties involved. Establishing guidelines can lead to a more fruitful and productive relationship. Conversely, blindly giving access to un-vetted people can be harmful.
