So many expectations are put on you the second you get engaged and the second you get married. WHEW. We talked with content creator Shameika L.H. Smith about the stress and anxiety of it all. We discuss the expectations that come with marriage, including societal pressures, family opinions, and personal choices. And not just that, but the challenges and dynamics of marriage and how it affects our friendships and personal growth. Definitely a great listen for anyone in this stage of their life.
