This is the best season of Couch Conversations. Kevin and Melissa have a conversational approach that seems natural and creates real and easy discussions.

[@sharioden5853]

Yesss ❤

[@PJ-hs5gl]

True Tab and Chance are cute but it just wasn’t giving! I’m trying to help others learn about marriage.

[@lise.99]

I completely agree! 🙌🏾 I’ve enjoyed these episodes a lot and they are funny too 🤣

[@Trice44]

🎯💯

[@ajordan1847]

Agree; it's so natural.

[@manoniemoments]

Children grow up, move out, & move on. It’s best to highly prioritize your spouse. Ask God to help you balance family life in each season.🥰 Marriage is a beautiful, beneficial, developmental, passionate, covering covenant of faith and adventure.☺️ ~ Wife & Mother of 2 Adult Children Great video, everyone!!!🙌🏾

[@Got2BOshun]

The absolute BEST Black couples conversations on the internet, y’all are truly a blessing to our community

[@texasgoddess323]

❤I am so happy that these gentlemen realized their jobs were killing their spirits and their marriages! As people of African descent, we must redefine what success looks like for US! We live in a Western, consumeristic, capitalistic, competitive nation. These values will never bring us peace and happiness. We were not put on this earth to make money to become super consumers. Love, peace, family, relationships, and purpose that ultimately makes the community at large stronger, is what our ancestors valued. The 42 Principles of Maa’t! NOT the 48 Laws of Power! LOVE!❤❤❤

[@rachellorna5109]

Unpopular opinion 👏👏👏

[@Shemashay]

This was the first couch conversation that I like both couples! Both seem to be balanced!! No struggle love here!! This was a healthy watch!

[@jonathanisaac17]

THIS!!! Key word: Healthyyyyyyyy.

[@Jasmyne444]

@@jonathanisaac17 exactly! 👏🏽❤️🙌🏽

[@alb5801]

Glad to see this comment just because a couple encounters difficulties that they must navigate doesn’t automatically equal struggle love. I had postpartum issues with my son, something totally out of my control that we couldn’t have foreseen. Which cause a huge financial hurdle with the lose of my income and the expenses of a newborn ( formula and diapers- I was unable to breastfeed) About a year later I was able to go back work, and worked 2 jobs to help dig us out of debt…we were/are a team that had to navigate a difficult time.

[@mrdavidashley6892]

Great episode. I meant to watch only like five minutes and I end up staying the whole time. As a single person who looks to be married one day, it seems like understanding when and how to love somebody who will eventually change is key to longevity.

[@mrsblackson1]

Great conversation! Evolution of love for me has been an adventure at 57 and married to my greatest love for the last 3.5 years! ❤️ We are 2 old heads who are really young lovers just trying to figure stuff out.

[@tiffanysaddler3964]

I wish this was longer!! Great conversation ❤

[@Heartcoachtalk]

This conversation needs to happen more often. Thank you for sharing the honest truth that many married couples go through.

[@M.....................]

Stop giving 100% of your time to work and wondering why you have 0% left for everyone else

[@kimberlygray7629]

MELISSA WEAR THE NICEST CLOTHES

[@alewis2812]

The way Liss giggled becuz she knew Kev would just cut it off, lolol!

[@christinebryant8354]

True friendship with your husband or wife etc… is a beautiful thing when nothing is off the table. You’ll can be yourself. It’s a lot of people that feel trapped in their marriage. I have a friend that speaks badly about her husband & I say to myself how can you lay down with someone that you have no respect for. That’s something I would love to ask.

[@avaholloway32]

I just love Kev & Liss...I miss #TheLoveHour but #CouchConversations is dope too 🎬🦋💖

[@peakpotentialwithjulia]

I absolutely love Kev & Melissa!!!! Thank you both for doing the work and demonstrating the sweet spot that nourishes the marriage and the family.

[@DonBrownII]

love the birds chirping in the background lol 8:00

[@BlackLove]

they were interested in the conversation too!

[@ajordan1847]

I loved the birds, too; it was so calming.

[@siadams9241]

Kev you wrapped it up just fine... just being yourself is everything this is one of the best couch conversations. .... blessings to you and your wife I pray you all are blessed with many more 💕

[@kwynkaq]

I really enjoy these conversations. Can you consider having a session for separated/divorced couples? Just a thought.

[@yolandalcheek462]

"Love and learn your spouse!" We can put on a tee-shirt 💖

[@LoverofGod1992]

I pray God will continue to bless these lovely unions

[@listenlisten7522]

Amen to Black Love!!!🤗...Great discussion and great energy from everyone. Live the life you love, and continue to love the one you're with.🙏🏾💕

[@nunyabusiness3516]

Every conversation they have Kev uses the iPhone analogy that he stole from Melissa and she gets quiet. He's going to hear about it later 😂

[@frandomsss]

I just love Kevin and Melissa marriage... the energy, friendship. It works!! Thanks for letting us in. I enjoy Couch Conversations.

[@beechannel27]

Great conversation. I was waiting for yall to do a full episode on this topic!

[@shellyshantel1]

Loving this season of Couch Conversation

[@Reeses710]

Love the evolution stage...another great episode w/refreshing conversations

[@chrisjohnson926]

I love these conversations. I related to so much. I never heard what my wife says. I’m a texter and I love it because it’s concise. If you run on about everything for 20 minutes, don’t expect me to remember this one specific thing you talked about.

[@islandgirl8914]

Loving and Learning your spouse. Epic. Yes, your wife is not your employee.❤

[@sagittarius1112able]

Loved both of these couples, very insightful.

Great ep, but also not gonna lie, the ending (Kev’s sign out) was my fave bit 😂 love a lil raw authenticity

[@TheCSPretty]

Such a great conversation 👏🏾👏🏾❤

This is interesting

I did not expect to see Kevonstage in such a more serious setting or topic

Wasn't expecting to see AUC representation today! Love the episode and this season so far!

A very important discourse.

I love hearing how couples evolve. Taking notes. 😌

[@reginawheeler966]

God Bless you Brother for choosing your wife over work.

[@abster4709]

A big transition was when I became a mom(he became the primary parent) and i was kinda jealous...but also a huge one was losing my dad last year, loving your partner through grief is hella different and difficult.

[@cpc439]

It is very difficult. Also pain-grief can change who you are its not just about making it through that but also maintaining who you were before it

[@abster4709]

@@cpc439 Absolutely! It's definitely changed me as a person and I know my husband struggles to get used to who I am now as I'm still changing and learning to work through my grief while trying to maintain a relationship with my child and be a "good" wife.

[@XxMercuriiXx]

What do you mean primary parent? Was he a stay at home dad?

[@abster4709]

@@XxMercuriiXx I went back to work when she was 2 weeks old(by choice) and was struggling with postpartum depression so I wasn't able to "care" for her like normal. He fed her, bathed her, did her hair, she slept next to him and 4yrs later, he's still the first person she runs to when she's hungry or gets hurt or needs anything.

[@smilesometimes3102]

I like what she said if you hang on it becomes a beautiful rainbow at the end I think that is so sweet I'm a nurture I like to take care of mine I always been that caring type of person even towards a stranger this comes with a good heart /mind And that's true in your thirties that's when you really start looking at life differently and you're 20 do be ratchet LOL

[@reginawheeler966]

Is it me or is everyone having a hard time expressing their emotions and also feel like the wives don't know how to communicate or appreciate their husbands as you should. It's just the way things are being said. Especially in the beginning. Sometimes we take our spouse of our youth for granted. Love that Kev, loving and learning your spouse in every stage.

[@TamiaPeach]

I agree.

[@OaklandMind]

I’m not getting it, is there something specific you took that from?

[@ncfitness1438]

I normally love these conversations, but I feel like why doesn’t the husband feel the stress of splitting himself between his children and being a husband I feel like a lot of pressure is put on wives/mothers. I hate that that’s a difficulty that you all experienced

[@GrowingGlowing87]

The jealousy towards their kids from the men is insaneeeeee!!!
