46: Weird Activities In the Living Room

In this episode, Matt, Steve, and Jessica will continue their conversation on how dating was like for Matt and Jessica before they got married. They will dive into the subject of love languages, which refer to how different people love each differently. Jessica will explain how she is comfortable with her weird mix of love languages because everyone in her life loves her in their own unique way and she appreciates it. Matt’s love language towards Jessica for example, includes him understanding the importance of accepting Steve as part of their lives because he’s always known what Steve means to Jessica and Penny.

Steve’s love languages when he was married to Jessica and in life in general are physical touch, words of affirmation, and quality time. He was always very affectionate and touchy, especially in public. It took Jessica a lot of getting used to when she got married to Matt because Matt is not affectionate. However, he was more affectionate when they were dating, and made up for the inadequate affection by always writing cute texts and notes for Jessica. They will highlight the value of couples doing nice things for each other without expecting anything in return and address the issue where a woman doubts her partner’s motives when he does a nice thing for her because she thinks he just wants to score some sex in return. 

A nice gesture goes a long way in making a person feel loved, and for women especially, when it’s done with the expectation of nothing in return, they tend to show up better in the bedroom. Matt and Jessica will share so much more about the time they were dating, like how they never went out on many dates because they just couldn’t, and how Matt designed Jessica's ring and had it custom-made so he could propose to her with it. It’s all going to be a super interesting look at what a great relationship that can lead to marriage should look like, and so much more, so don’t miss out.
