    Jan 22 2023

    In this week's episode of “Marriageology,” we dive into the story of Ahmad and Toya, a couple who have been together for 14 years. They dated for 7 years before getting married, and after 7 years of marriage, Ahmad made the decision to step out on their relationship.

    As Toya reflects on the events leading up to Ahmad's infidelity, she must also take a look at her actions in the marriage. Did she contribute to her husband feeling dismissed and unimportant? This question raises an important discussion about the role of both parties in a relationship and how their actions can impact the health of the marriage.

    But is one party more at fault than the other? As the saying goes, "two wrongs don't make a right." Infidelity is never acceptable, but Toya must also examine her behavior and see if there were any red flags that she ignored.

It raises important questions and discussions about the role of both parties in a relationship and the impact of our actions on the health of our marriages.
