We’re Maxson and Emily. We’ve been together for 4.5 years and we want to have a family together, but…getting legally married? That’s not so obvious to us. In each episode we talk to someone who has special knowledge about marriage: a divorcee, an ER nurse, an accountant, a prenup lawyer, a polyamorous married couple, a 12-year-old with unmarried parents, and many others. In our final episode, we’ll decide what we want to do – get married, or stay dating forever. Whether you’re engagement-curious, a lifelong skeptic, happily married, or simply hungry for honest conversations about modern love and partnership, we welcome you to join us as we decide: should we get married?
