Today we’re spilling the tea on how social media is turning our brains into mush when it comes to marriage expectations. From scrolling through picture-perfect weddings to comparing our own love lives to influencer highlight reels. We’ve all been there, feeling FOMO because your friend’s husband just bought her a Ferrari, while you’re getting excited about a new couch. Whether you’re married or still in the “single and scrolling” phase, we get into how social media makes us rush into things or feel like our lives just aren’t up to par. So, if you’ve ever wondered why your marriage doesn’t look like an Instagram post or felt like you’re missing out on a hashtag-worthy moment, tune in! It’s time to laugh, reflect, and hopefully put the phone down for a second.
