Is compatibility really the key to a successful relationship? After watching all these love reality shows like Married at First Sight, Love is Blind and The Ultimatum, we’ve got some thoughts! In this episode, we break down why compatibility isn’t everything and what actually builds a strong, lasting relationship. We dive into the mistakes we see people making on these shows (and in real life), from diving too deep too soon to faking compatibility instead of focusing on real connection. We also get personal about our own relationship journey—how we started off as total opposites, why friendship was our foundation, and how intentional communication and patience helped us grow together over the years. 💬 What do YOU think?

Affection wasn’t always easy for us especially in the beginning. I (Trone) have always been a naturally affectionate person, while Adoria didn’t grow up in an environment where that type of love was the norm. Over time, we had to figure out how to navigate our differences in love languages and create a relationship where we both felt loved and valued. In this video, we open up about the real reasons some people struggle with showing affection and share how understanding each other’s pasts helped us bridge the gap. We talk about the importance of creating a safe space for growth, how intentionality and patience transformed our relationship, and why affection is something you can learn when love and commitment are at the center. We're proof that with the right partner and mutual effort, anything is possible. If you or your partner have ever struggled with expressing affection, or if you’re just looking to deepen your connection, this one’s for you.
