💍 Wedded Bliss Wednesday: The Podcast That Asks You to Wait Before Saying “Yes”

By De-Stress with Momma Lovey Dee

Did you know the honeymoon period is over around the 3 year mark in relationships?

By De-Stress with Momma Lovey Dee

This week’s Wedded Bliss Wednesday podcast is not just about love—it’s about legacy. It’s about the wounds we carry, the healing we deserve and the questions we must ask before we say “yes” to forever.

Taylor Swift and her man just got engaged—and while the headlines sparkle, I want to pause and ask:
Are we rushing into forever before we’ve healed our yesterday?

Because love isn’t a rescue mission.
It’s a reckoning. And if we haven’t healed our inner child, we’ll keep asking others to love the parts of us we’ve abandoned—often by distracting our depression with hidden addictions, chronic stress and relationships that mirror our trauma.

🧘‍♀️ What This Episode Covers

In this episode, I share:

• Why I believe couples should wait three years before getting engaged

• How Buddhist principles of non-attachment and no harm can transform relationships

• My personal story of marriage counselling, narcissistic abuse, and the book that changed my life (Healing the Wounds That Hurt Relationships by Dr. Martin Rovers) and my marriage counsellor ;)

• The deep connection between parentified childhoods and adult relationship patterns

• A soul-centred astrology breakdown of Taylor & Travis’s compatibility (yes, it’s goosey and gorgeous)

🌱 Questions Every Couple Should Ask Before Saying “Yes”

These aren’t surface-level questions.
These are soul excavators.
If you’re in love, thinking about commitment or healing from heartbreak—ask these slowly.
Answer them honestly.

What wounds from childhood still shape how I love?

What addictions or coping mechanisms do I hide from others?

How do I respond to conflict—fight, flight, freeze or fawn?

Do I feel emotionally safe with this person when I’m at my worst?

Are we building a new family tree—or repeating the one we came from?

Can we sit in silence together without fear?

Do our visions for life align—or quietly compete?

Have we overcome hard things together—or do we fall apart under pressure?

Do I trust this person to protect my inner child the way my parents couldn’t?

Can I love this person without needing them to fix me?
Are you a spender or saver?
How did your last relationship end?

🕊️ Love Is Sacred. So Is Healing.

Engagement isn’t just a ring—it’s a ritual. A declaration that you’ve done the work, faced the shadows and chosen each other with eyes wide open.

So to every couple out there:
take your time.
Heal your inner child. You can't love anyone else till you love and nurture yourself.
Speak with kindness. Practice non-attachment.

And when you finally say “yes,” let it be a soul yes—not a trauma yes.
