Ep:30 Single vs. Married (Why The Side Eye?)
Manage episode 309371862 series 3032002
Guess what? Everyone enters this world as a single human being not in a relationship, not married, or attached. But somewhere along the way, there becomes a perception on both sides that it's uncomfortable in certain social settings for single and marred people to dwell together. As Life and Relationship Coaches and Professional Matchmakers, The Matchmaking DUO's Kelli Fisher and Tana Gilmore set the record straight by stating what so many people on both sides have shared with them, and some things to think about to make these gatherings more comfortable. Whether it's the good old end of the year holiday parties, that wedding where you're automatically put at the dreaded "singles table" in the back corner with no option for a +1, a cookout hosted by family or a friend who is now married, or that evening work function or bonus trip you won where everyone gets to meet all the spouses or significant others.
Is there a need for singles to be apprehensive about showing up solo for fear of being left in the corner with the wives giving the side eye as if they're the plague or automatically thinking they must want their man? Or is it all in the mind? Married couples when is the last time you made an extra effort to initiate conversation with a single person in the room to say hello and see what you might have in common?
Ultimately, everyone can arrive at these functions and have a good time if their mindset is where it needs to be and each person makes an extra effort to show love and include everyone regardless of their marital status.
Tune in to hear The Matchmaking DUO's thoughts on the matter. What do you think?
Here's to LOVE!!
