How do you keep the romance going when you've been together for almost a decade and through many iterations of yourselves? Is there romance anymore once you've learned so much about a person? We'll attempt to discuss in this week's episode.

One of the subscribers asked us to talk about different ideas around "The Art of Tidying Up" and minimalism.  What have we given up to bring more joy to the marriage? Turns out I've given up quite a bit without even realizing it.

"You're NOT my best friend you're my wife."  In this episode of The Beast Cast we unpack that statement. This topic was provided to us by one of our Patreon Producers.  Is your partner meant to be your best friend? Do these titles need to be mutually exclusive? We discuss. 

In this episode, Hallease and Chris discuss the state of bachelor pads and apartments. Hallease goes into how Chris had a terrible, undesigned apartment, when they first met. Chris states his case for living simply and not being tied down to conventional definitions of furniture. 

In this episode we discuss the topic of soulmates, and if we believe in them. We also realize that there is no uniform definition of what a soulmate is so hilarity ensues. The Science of Kissing: https://www.britishcouncil.org/voices-magazine/kiss-science-smooching

We discuss the intricacies of friendship and why it's difficult in our society for women and men to have platonic relationships. As always, we come at this topic through our lived experiences and in reference to our marriage.

Mr. Hallease and I discuss the age-old question of children and if we want them. As a couple that has been married for over 5 years, this is a question we get asked constantly and by the end of the episode you'll see why.

Mr. Hallease gives his thoughts on Hallease's hair and its many iterations throughout the course of their marriage. Ironically, this is the longest Beast Cast episode thus far.

Gobble! Gobble! It's the week of Thanksgiving here in the United States so in the spirit of gratitude we're discussing what it means to truly be grateful. Since we're both Christian, we dive into the meaning of blessings and also the privilege of hardships. We hope you enjoy your holiday season!

Mr. Hallease discusses what it's like being married to a creative. They also discuss how they both work through conflict (or avoid it at all costs).

In true click bait fashion, Mr. Hallease and Hallease discuss different aspects of The Red Table Talk episode featuring Will Smith.

Your other relationships with family and friends change when you get married, and that transition can be tough. In this episode, we talk about adjusting those relationships. This episode also ties into the idea of "leaving and cleaving" which is covered in the book of Genesis (2:24-25). Another podcast that talks about this is "How Married Are You?" with Beleaf in Fatherhood and his wife Mrs. Mela...

Figuring out marriage can be difficult and finances harder still, in this first episode of the Beast Cast Hallease and Mr. Hallease talk about how they navigated sharing accounts and discuss prenuptial agreements.
