Most marriages don't end because love disappears.

They end because life gets louder.

Kids.

Schedules.

Work.

Bills.

Activities.

Until one day, you realize you've become amazing parents... but distant partners.

In this episode of My Dope Blend, Gray and Leslie look back at their first date, the awkward moments, the persistence that started their relationship, and why continuing to date each other has become one of the most important decisions they've made in marriage.

Along the way they discuss:

• Why dating shouldn't stop after marriage

• Balancing kids and your relationship

• Losing your identity after becoming a parent

• Why intentionality matters

• Dating in a blended family

• Creative date ideas that don't require spending a fortune

• Lessons learned through parenting, the pandemic, and marriage

Whether you're dating, newly married, or years into your relationship, this conversation is a reminder that the relationship you build today is the one you'll live in after the children grow up.
