You might be scrolling through mom TikToks or Insta marriage posts feeling weirdly bitter, quietly resentful, or like something is always missing. You see other wives flashing their “non-loser” husbands doing dishes or their mid-six-figure lifestyle, and you wonder, Is my marriage terrible? Unrealistic expectations around money and household labor are tearing both men and women down. You can find a better way forward. One built not on competition but on honesty, empathy, and a blueprint you design for your family.

We didn’t get married for butterflies—we got married for a baby. For a future. For something steady after years of chaos. There was no fairy tale beginning, just two people in their thirties who knew what heartbreak looked like and didn’t want to raise a kid alone. This isn’t a romance story. It’s a real one. For every parent out there wondering if “enough” can actually be enough—this is for you.
