Not Another Relationship Podcast

By Neil & Nicole McKnight

Hey Framily! We're Neil and Nicole McKnight–a newly married millennial couple learning to navigate the new space of our relationship, our faith, and our future...all in REAL TIME. We are "not another marriage," "not another relationship," "not another relationship goal;" instead we are simply two flawed singles who learning what it means to sustain and grow a healthy relationship through transparency and in-the-moment candor.

Life Be Life-ing…

Life Be Life-ing…

We know we know...we've definitely been less consistent with bringing y'all the tea. But listen, Life Be Life-ing... And that's what we're talking about on this week's episode! How life has been life-ing, how we're trying to stay awake AND get sleep with a new little baby and returning back to work, and most importantly, how we're striving to stay in a relationship with each other.

If I Get Caught Cheating…

If I Get Caught Cheating…

Pretty sure by now we’ve all heard the DVSN song, Jay-Z, himself called more toxic than his own pre-reformed toxic songwriting days on “Song Cry.” As toxic as the song is, it created a pretty exciting space for us to have a gapping & honest conversation on infidelity in relationships & what would happen if we EVER caught the other acting crazy! What would you do!?  The music featured in this episode is produced by Kadeem Nichols. You can stream his single

Guilt After Sex In Marriage

Guilt After Sex In Marriage

For a few months, we've been working through a challenge within our marriage: Nicole sometimes feeling guilty after sex. As crazy as it may sound, there are plenty of couples who also face this challenge early on in their marriage––and sometimes years into their marriage––because of how sex is taught in the church. For years, many of us are told not to have sex before we're married. But then we get married, and no one ever tells us how to have sex or how to silence that voice inside our heads telling us sex is bad after hearing that for so long. On this week's episode, we unpack how this current challenge has impacted our marriage, what sexual trauma may have to do with it, and how we, as Believers, can do a better job at teaching and championing healthy sexual relationships.

No More #RelationshipGoals

No More #RelationshipGoals

And so the journey begins! After almost a year of procrastinating the release of this podcast, we are finally doing it and passing go. The story of why this podcast took so long to get started, and why we kept putting it off, is an example in itself of why we aren't #RelationshipGoals. In this episode, we unpack why sometimes having #RelationshipGoals can actually hinder the process of maintaining a healthy relationship, and whether or not we've achieved our own #RelationshipGoals.
