In this honest, funny, and tender conversation, Eman & Mimi unpack what it really looks like to find space within marriage, without drifting apart. Do couples need time alone to stay healthy, or should everything be done together?

We go there: why kids sometimes act like tiny CEOs for Mum and perfect soldiers for Dad, how to take a breather without triggering insecurity, and why “space” should be intentional, not silent treatment.

We tackle the solo-trip dilemma (healing reset or red flag?), patterns of behaviour and trust, and the difference between distance that refreshes vs distance that erodes connection. You’ll hear how we balance separate interests (Bake Off vs basketball), build shared experiences so we grow in the same direction, and make peace with life’s seasons, when one partner’s career needs extra oxygen and the other carries more at home. We talk practical boundaries (signal phrases, check-ins, time limits), creating quiet in a loud house with four kids, and the small systems that keep love from getting lost in logistics.

Mimi shares how maturity turned “Is something wrong?” into “Enjoy your reset,” and Eman gives flowers to intentional motherhood while owning intentional fatherhood, showing up for the moments the kids remember.

If you’ve ever felt guilty for needing time alone, or lonely while your partner “hustles for the family,” this episode will help you breathe, reset, and choose each other on purpose.
