Summary

#1 - My boyfriend and I are dating with the prospect of getting married, and I am moving to his country to be with him. I want to prioritize my family but have a side hustle. What is your advice re: side hustles?

#2- My fiance and I have small arguments constantly that turn into half a day of us not speaking. Do you have any tips?

#3 - I used to have a feminist mindset and dreamed of pursuing a career in music. My parents are pressuring me to get higher ed in music. How do I communicate to my parents about my desire to be a wife and mother someday?

#4 - I am a wife who screwed things up in the beginning of my marriage. I have been married for 15 years. I never wanted to be a “disrespectful nag” and I didn’t realize I was being one until my marriage nearly fell apart. My husband is distant and we could be roommates. Do I just accept this?

#5 - I keep encountering men who have gotten used to dating a lot of feminists. When I talk to them about having families and wanting more traditional gender roles, they consider that as “being a dictator over the wife”. This is frustrating because men have become feminist without even knowing it. What should mid-thirties women do because men don’t lead? What do we do?

#6- I’m a 34-year-old single woman. I was raised by a “hen-pecked” father and I became a feminist, went to grad school, etc. I want to get married and have kids but I don’t know any young single men, I am overweight and have student loans. Is it unreasonable to think I might meet a man who wants to take care of his wife and kids?

0:00.0	From the Magnificent Midwest, it's the Suzanne Venker Show, where men and women are equal in value, but wildly different by nature.
0:14.1	Join us here every week when we challenge the culture's hugely flawed narratives about men, women, sex, and love.
0:20.0	From coast to coast and from around the world,
0:22.2	thank you for joining us. So today is Q&A day, and I am going to go through a bunch of emails,
0:34.1	questions that I have. Well, that's it. I'm going to go through a bunch of questions. Ready?
0:40.1	This first one is from Linda. Hey, Suzanne. My boyfriend and I are currently dating with the
0:48.2	prospect of getting married, and soon I will be moving to his country to be with him within a couple of
0:53.9	years.
0:56.7	Once we close the distance, I'd like to prioritize him and our family, but ideally with a
1:01.2	small hustle on the side. I was wondering if you could talk about side hustles in the future.
1:07.4	Ideal hustles for women who want to prioritize the family budget for the family cut down
1:12.8	on unnecessary cost that kind of stuff thank you love your show okay um so here's the skinny
1:22.5	on side hustles some are definitely easier than others so i don't think it's a matter of a blanket statement about side hustles.
1:31.5	You really have to get into the details about what kind of business you're talking about.
1:36.6	There's a difference between, for example, you know, I don't know, let's see, baking, you know, let's say you really like baking or cooking
1:47.7	or whatever and you want to sell some of your baked goods or food on the side. Now, I guess you
1:56.2	could say this about anything that you do, you know, even writing. How much, how far do you want to take it?
2:02.3	I guess that's the best way of looking at it.
2:04.0	There's, it gets, it gets problematic potentially if you don't put a cap on it.
2:10.8	And this, of course, depends on how deep your passion is for it because you can easily
2:14.1	get carried away with it for sure.
2:15.8	I kind of covered this when I was talking about being an entrepreneur a couple weeks ago
