I took my American wife to Nigeria for the first time… and I was nervous the whole time. From the moment we landed, I didn’t know what to expect.

Most people say that when you get married, you “become one.”

But what does that actually mean… and does it mean losing yourself? In this episode, we talk about individuality in marriage—how to stay true to who you are while building a life with someone else.

We get into: Why personal space still matters in marriage How to balance “your space, my space, and our space” Navigating boundaries without losing connection And what we’re learning about compromise in real time
