Do You Have to Get Married? Perspectives on Love and Life
Marriage: tradition, contract, romance, or societal expectation? In this eye-opening episode, Rosie (single) and Roula (married twice) dive into what marriage really means—and whether it has to define your life.
From cultural pressures to practical realities, Roula shares her experiences navigating two marriages, divorce, and raising children, while Rosie questions the very concept of “tying the knot.” Together, they explore how love, commitment, and freedom intersect in ways that aren’t always obvious.
In this candid, hilarious, and thought-provoking episode, you’ll hear about:
- Why marriage can be more practical than romantic
- How cultural expectations shape our decisions about love and partnership
- Divorce, legal contracts, and the real-life logistics behind “forever”
- Challenging societal norms around being single or married
- Finding freedom and fulfillment without following the traditional script
💡 Holiday takeaway: Whether you’re married, divorced, or blissfully single, the key is doing life on your terms. Celebrate relationships—or solo adventures—without guilt, pressure, or judgment.
