" I HAD TO JUMP START THE PLANE ... I PULLED MY CAR AROUND AND STILL PAID FULL PRICE " HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA KEV IS HILARIOUS

[@donna-donna]

Melissa was speaking the FULL TRUTH @1:01:20 Awesome video!!

[@mandi5black]

Loooove this episode! So on point!I almost teared up at work because it's so relatable to the fact , you were working behind the scenes (kids, house and job)! And sometimes it never fully appreciated. Or how I feel sometimes Haha

[@MrsKevOnStage]

The job of a woman!

[@sarahrios8842]

I freakin love thiese two humans........the encouragement of the husband to the wife is everything....yall are the bomb.

[@tanoawilliams3712]

I just found this episode and ABSOLUTELY agree with your thoughts on the episode of This Is US and your marriage situation at that time. I'm literally living this life and my husband has not yet come to this revelation, about me. Military spouse and for 16 years with 3 kids.... pray my strength

[@AnointedVessel40]

I just watched Melissa on The Woman to Woman Seminar and she is amazing! Her strength, growth and wholeness! She is amazing!!

[@donna-donna]

Is this on Utube?

[@MrsKevOnStage]

Thank you for watching!!

[@MrsKevOnStage]

@@donna-donna I believe @natashaannmiller has replays available.

[@zeeena403]

watching this episode in June 2021 and realizing that Liss is my favourite person on the internet. Loved this so much

[@LisaDeBose]

🗣 Melissa! You are AMAZING and articulate the feelings of wives in a way we wish we all could. I have watched every video of the Love Hour and even attended the live show with my husband in 2018 in Houston. I love watching your journey and just wanted to tell you that you are an inspiration to me & I tell all my married friends about you and your book recommendations (which I have also read all of them LOL). 💞

[@LilacCalandra]

There is something so ethereal and gracious about you Melissa! Your cute little laugh and demeanor is amazing! I loved this episode and I love you and Kev as a couple. Keep on keeping on Fredericks!

[@DrJoPsyD]

Watching this years later and I just have to say this is so so so so good!!

[@TheClassictvfan]

Oh Weave not Weed....okay that makes so much more sense.

[@zimbasexy1]

Am I the only one who knew nothing about the "this is us" series on TV, but upon listening to this awesome podcast can't wait to go bootleg it and watch it☺️ great show guys really loved it!

[@MrsKevOnStage]

It's such a good show!!

[@kendrasheppard6948]

Loved this episode!!!!!! So glad I can comment. Melissa I always acknowledge the wives of my fiends and celebrities before fawning over them. You are right; it is disrespectful.

[@MrsKevOnStage]

yes!!

[@MissMissy22]

This episode was AMAZING!!!!!

[@MrsKevOnStage]

Thank you for watching!

[@kendrasheppard6948]

Can’t wait to see you on Black Love!!!

[@MrsKevOnStage]

yes!!!

[@sweetjuly6246]

Watching this episode from 2yrs ago after watching today’s HTT with Angel talking about how the guys left her reservation and she retaliated with epic pettiness 😂

[@PamelaGrace31]

You look FABULOUS Melissa!

[@MrsKevOnStage]

Thank you!!

[@MsErvin25]

Wow! I appreciate you both, but Mrs. Liss I very much appreciate your perspective as a wife. When you have an extroverted husband ( which I do) and an introverted wife, you tend to fall to the background while your husband gets all the praise for what you all have built.

[@itscarissahere]

Enjoyed this episode. I appreciate you guys authenticity. It is so helpful. PS.. I'm loving your nails Melissa! PPS.. Episode idea: Boundaries with family/friends/work.

[@MrsKevOnStage]

great topic idea!

[@Teetee_joliee]

Melissa you better preach I'm only 24 and in the early stages of this and I got emotional right with you.

[@MikkiDreams]

Thanks for making us laugh and think!!! This episode needs more 👍🏽

[@Mzviola29]

Omg!!!!! I’ve been wanting to leave a comment for so long and I know Kev’s Page the comments are blocked!!! Anyway Hey Melissa!!!!this episode was like 🤯🤯🤯 so good I’m not even married but I see where I bend in so many of my relationships!!! It’s so crazy and I don’t know why I’m so quick to bend for other people?!? Something im working on. Also when Kev said he couldn’t say anything earlier in the episode I was like man let her talk he always cutting people off! Lol y’all work well together and I love that I know it’s not always easy but you guys make it look easy. Y’all are dope thank you for your dopeness and thank you for the great content. Love you guys!

[@mistaklc877]

Great conversation. You guys are awesome. I look fwd to this now. Peace and blessings!

[@ReneeBoss08]

The way Melissa pointed at Kevin was priceless! The way he looked like a little boy being scolded was priceless too! You. BETTER. PREACH. MELISSA!!

[@rhaevyncherry4322]

THIS WAS FREAKING AMAZING!!!

[@IM_Morethan]

[@busayoidowu]

That or This: The fact that Melissa asked what's wrong with spirit just confirms she's not ready for the struggle. Lol

[@olowokerepraise]

[@chant9722]

Wifedom just happens lol we find ourselves sacrificing without even thinking about it. Dont necessarily want or like to but it happens 21 yrs of marriage 33 yrs together definitely have been there.

[@musicneurons]

39:50 cut to today. And "speaking of reading. Melissa reviewed her NYT bestseller in her bookclub

[@MadameBleu]

Spirit isn't even that bad. The actual flight was more comfortable than all my delta flights. I need a window seat. I also sleep immediately so nothing else matters, lol

I Love Melissa

[@sherryeaton129]

Ok I'll be back.. haven't watched last 2 episodes

[@monmon-vk8rz]

I think there's an ingrained gender role aspect to this as well. Although nowadays it does happen the other way around, most often its women who feel more responsibility to hold down the house. There's an imbalance. Women's lives get centered around inside the home, supporting their man, managing the daily tasks of the household; men, even though they are primarily doing things to bring money into the house, get to center their lives outside. Not everything they do has to be centered around their wife and kids, they have the space to seek more. This whole "losing yourself in the marriage" thing is not just a function of being a strong woman vs a meek one either. It can happen to anyone, especially the way our society and gender dynamics are set up. This imbalance exists and men don't always notice it bc it's to their benefit. That's why a woman will feel like "You let this happen." Even in some of the things Kev said. A lot of men will say "well, just *say* you need me to do this or that chore" and not understand why that frustrates the woman. Well, you not seeing the stacked up dishes and me swamped - it just underscores that imbalance.

[@monmon-vk8rz]

And part of why it's so uncomfortable when the woman starts pursuing goals outside the home. Yes it's a sudden change in dynamic, but it's also just....not how we expect things to work. We default to the expectation that the woman is supposed to be centered around the home
