Ep. 224 - Pesa & Whitney Shayo: The Marriage Behind the Marriage Advice

What happens when the person you love brings a different definition of marriage into the relationship?

Pesa and Whitney Shayo, founders of Live Your Best Marriage, join Melvin E. Edwards on Stories from Real Life for a conversation about the expectations couples inherit—and the understanding they build together.

With Kenyan and American backgrounds and more than two decades of marriage, the Shayos bring a personal perspective to questions about culture, family, faith, and partnership.

The conversation explores:

• The assumptions we bring from childhood into marriage.• How two people can experience the same relationship differently.• Family expectations and difficult conversations about boundaries.• The difference between an apology and lasting change.• Preserving individuality while building a shared life.• What children learn from watching their parents.
