70. Giving you ring upgrades, codependency, and compromise

If you like it, put a *bigger* ring on it. Guys, listen up! Wedding rings are just like cars. They deserve an upgrade every few years. In this week’s episode, Alex and Jon talk ring upgrades, prenups before marriage, and issues with having a codependent partner. If you break it down, marriage is very simple: take charge, make decisions, and upgrade your rings. Did we just solve marriage? Probably not but this is a good place to start.
