Every couple has that moment — the first real disagreement that makes you think, “Wait… this is marriage?”

In this episode, we talk about the reality of first conflicts after the honeymoon season fades. Whether it’s about money, in-laws, cleaning, or how you spend your free time, disagreements are inevitable — but they don’t have to be destructive.

I’ll share insights on how couples can learn to fight fair: listening to understand instead of trying to “win,” pausing before reacting, and remembering you’re on the same team — even when emotions run high. We’ll also unpack how to recover after your first real clash — how to apologize meaningfully, reconnect, and move forward stronger instead of bitter.

Because the truth is, the strength of a marriage isn’t measured by how few arguments you have, but by how you handle them.

Listen in if:

• You’ve had your first big fight and wondered if that’s normal.

• You’re learning how to communicate without blowing up.

• You want to turn conflict into connection, not resentment.

🎙️ Love doesn’t mean never fighting — it means learning how to fight right.

Money isn’t just about numbers — it’s about values, habits, and honesty. I’ll unpack how couples can navigate financial transparency without shame, find balance between responsibility and fun, and build trust through teamwork instead of tension.

Whether you’re newly married or years in, this episode will help you see that healthy money talks aren’t about control — they’re about connection.

Listen in if:

• You’ve ever had “the spending conversation” turn awkward.

• You’re trying to budget without killing date nights.

• You want to learn how to talk about money without it turning into a fight.

🎙️ Let’s talk love, wallets, and all the lessons that come when “what’s mine” becomes “ours.”

If your mother in law came to your home a month or two after your wedding and rearranged the living room. what would you do?

They say communication is key… but what about all the things we don’t say?
In this episode, I dive into the hidden world of unspoken expectations in marriage — those quiet assumptions like “I thought you’d cook”, “I thought you’d handle bills”, or “I thought you’d just know what I need.”

We’ll talk about how invisible “rules” from our upbringing, culture, or gender roles sneak into our relationships without warning. From who takes out the trash to how much time we spend with family, these little assumptions can cause big tension if left unchecked.

I’ll share real moments, funny surprises, and lessons from learning that marriage works best when you trade silent expectations for honest conversations. Because love grows stronger when we stop guessing and start talking.

Listen in if:

• You’ve ever felt misunderstood in your marriage.

• You’ve argued over chores, in-laws, or “who should’ve known.”

• You’re ready to laugh, reflect, and learn how to replace assumptions with clarity.

🎙️ It’s time to unpack the expectations we never said out loud — and discover the peace that comes when we finally do.

Want to avoid a lifetime of arguments over dishes and laundry? This episode is for you. We're diving into the "bedrock of marriage"—the division of chores and responsibilities. While it's ideal to have these talks early, life happens. So whether you're starting out or already deep in the trenches, we'll give you the tools to approach this topic with awareness and avoid unnecessary conflict.

Let's talk about what happens when the honeymoon phase is done and you are wondering how to keep the romance top notch despite the realities of a snoring spouse or morning breath that isn't bearable.

What you do in such scenarios and in this phase may well determine how best you handle your marriage.

The honeymoon phase doesn’t last forever—one day it’s candlelit dinners, the next it’s arguing about who left the toothpaste cap off. Add in one partner being a night owl and the other an early bird, and suddenly “happily ever after” looks more like “compromise ever after.” In this episode, we dive into the real side of marriage after the glow fades: navigating routines, quirks, and those small but oh-so-loud differences that can either break you or make you laugh together.

Question:When the honeymoon glow wore off in your relationship, what little differences or habits surprised you the most?

Marriage is beautiful, but let’s be real — it’s also messy, surprising, and sometimes downright hard.

I’m Daisy Rema, newly married and learning on the go. This podcast is my space to talk openly about the highs, lows, and hilarious in-betweens of life after “I do.” From communication struggles to money talks, from family dynamics to keeping the spark alive, I share the real challenges most couples face but rarely talk about out loud.

This isn’t expert advice or a fairy-tale version of marriage — it’s raw reflections, lessons I’m still learning, and stories that remind us we’re not alone. Sometimes it’s just me, sometimes I’ll bring in guests, but always it’s honest, relatable, and filled with hope.

So, if you’ve ever wondered what marriage really looks like beyond the wedding photos, tune in. Let’s laugh, reflect, and grow through the journey — one episode at a time.

Sometimes when we get to be chosen as leaders, we need the mentors to walk us through our misconceptions about leadership and people management. It’s not an easy journey but it’s doable.

In this podcast, I had a conversation with Marie’s and we talked about how leadership can affect one’s life.

It’s a luganda poem by Matthew eliciting a relationship feud.

After a breakup, people tend to be so bitter about the partner they once loved.
