Summary
What if loving each other forever doesn’t automatically mean getting married? In this episode, I sit down with Maxson and Emily to talk about their unconventional love story and why they’re questioning marriage instead of rushing into it. We get into prenups, divorce, kids, legal myths, and whether marriage actually strengthens a relationship—or just complicates it.

| 0:00.0 | All right, you guys, I am so excited for this conversation. I'm excited for everyone to hear it, |
| 0:08.7 | but I'm honestly just really excited to have it. I've been looking forward to this for a while. |
| 0:13.0 | Today I have on Maxin and Emily. They are a couple. We're going to hear their whole origin story, |
| 0:18.2 | how they met and where they're at now. But the reason they are here |
| 0:21.3 | today is because they have been questioning and exploring this big idea of should they get |
| 0:28.0 | married. And I feel like this is something that in our society, especially like our generation, |
| 0:33.5 | we don't really question this. We kind of just say, yeah, this is what people do. So we're going to do it. |
| 0:40.6 | And I have so many questions for them. But before we do that, let me just give a big, big, big welcome. |
| 0:46.5 | Max and Emily, welcome to seeing other people. Thank you, Alana. We're excited to be here. Yeah, we're stoked. |
| 0:52.8 | We have to start at the beginning before we get into all of the fun stuff that I am, |
| 0:57.4 | I really have been telling everyone. |

| 1:07.1 | to learn about the benefits, the pros and cons of marriage and all that. But how did you guys |
| 1:12.9 | meet? Okay, so I finally picked up Dawn of Chaos and Fury by Melissa K. Rouric, and I need to talk |
| 1:23.0 | about it because this series completely pulled me out of my reading slump. It's one of those worlds that |
| 1:28.3 | makes you fall back in love with reading. This is the fourth and final book in the legacy series, |
| 1:33.9 | and what I love about it is that it is the perfect gateway romanticcy if you're not usually a big |
| 1:38.5 | fantasy reader. The world feels like ours, smartphones, cars, the whole thing, but it's filled with |
| 1:43.3 | wild magic. We're talking, Thay, dragons, vampires, cars, the whole thing, but it's filled with wild magic. We're talking |
| 1:44.9 | Thay, dragons, vampires, witches, actual descendants of gods, but in a setting that feels familiar |
| 1:50.5 | and super easy to slip into. And the emotions don't get me started. The heroin is navigating |
