Marlon Wayans once explained that he stayed unmarried partly because he never wanted his mother to feel second to another woman. That comment sparks an important question: at what point does being a devoted son start affecting your ability to be a good husband or partner?On this episode of The Ten Seven Show, we examine boundaries, respect, and the balance between taking care of family and protecting your relationship. Helping your mother, calling her, and supporting her are all positive things. Problems arise when private arguments, financial choices, and household decisions are handed over to Mama instead of worked through with your partner.Key topics in this episode: Is she simply his mother, or has she become an active third party in the relationship?Who is actually responsible for drawing the line: the mother or the son?Does standing by your partner automatically mean choosing her over your mother?Who has a harder time letting go: the mother or the grown son?The practical difference between loving your family and allowing family opinions to override your partner.Follow The Ten Seven Show on Spreaker and leave a rating or review to share your take on the topic.

Is submission an outdated concept, or are we just afraid to talk honestly about relationship dynamics? On tonight’s episode of The Ten Seven Show, we tackle the reality of modern relationships where independence meets structure. A person saying “I trust you enough to let you lead” is not an act of weakness—it is an act of chosen vulnerability. But the moment leadership requires you to lose your voice, your freedom, or your self-respect, it is no longer submission; it is control. Key Topics in Tonight's Episode: - Chosen partnership vs. forced obedience - Balancing financial independence, strong careers, and traditional dynamics - Why structure and emotional maturity make or break leadership in a relationship - Why the real question isn't "Should women submit?" but "Who has earned the right to be trusted?" Tune in, follow the show, and let us know your perspective.

We have all heard the stories about absent fathers. That narrative gets told every single day. But what about the father who stepped up, fought the system, won full custody, and is now carrying the entire weight alone?In this episode of The Ten Seven Show, titled "The Custody Win No One Prepared You For," we are having an honest, unfiltered conversation about a side of fatherhood that rarely gets discussed: single father burnout and custody regret.When a dad fights for full custody (whether driven by devotion, ego, pride, or a desire to avoid child support), the reality of daily solo parenting can hit like a ton of bricks. He is up at 6:00 a.m., managing school schedules, cooking, cleaning, working, and paying every bill alone, only to look up and realize the other parent is living with total freedom.Staying does not mean you do not need help.

The Ten Seven Show: Chosen vs. Settled For We have all heard the phrase "settling" when it comes to relationships, but what does it actually look like up close? There is a real difference between someone who genuinely wants you and someone who simply kept you around. While settling can often mimic love, routine, affection, and warmth, it is the underlying intention that truly separates the two. In this episode, hosts Tara, Tahira, Goose, and Justin are joined by two single guests who have been previously married and are now navigating the modern dating world. Together, the six panellists engage in an honest discussion covering the trade-offs of dating, personal confidence, and what it truly means to be chosen. Key Discussion Topics in This Episode: Defining the Difference: Defining what it means to be chosen versus being settled for based on personal experience.The Trade-Offs: Weighing the costs of being selective (protecting time, energy, and sanity) against the convenience and consistency of settling.Pick vs. Settle Dilemma: Addressing whether it is better to wait a long time to be genuinely picked or to accept immediate companionship at the cost of confidence and self-worth.The Married Perspective: Examining whether long-term partners truly chose each other or if life and convenience played a larger role than expected.The Single Perspective: Exploring how past marriages and current conversations reshape expectations of finding a partner and whether being truly chosen remains realistic.

Why do we like people MORE the moment they stop liking us?  On this episode of the Ten Seven Show, we are breaking down the emotional equivalent of chasing a bus that has already pulled off while swearing we’re "not even sweating." Welcome to "The Clown Loop", the vicious cycle where they pull back, you double down, and suddenly you're acting completely out of character. Humans are dramatic, but there are some very real, very funny patterns behind why we keep pressing the button on a broken emotional vending machine. We Dive  Into The Sunk Cost of Dating: Why we treat 17 good‑morning texts and three memes like a stock portfolio we need a return on. The Scarcity Trap: How we turn someone's six-day silence into a glowing resume instead of just realizing they're rude. The Safe Chase: Using unavailable people as a shield so you never have to play the actual game of emotional dodgeball. The Dopamine Casino: Why your brain treats a 2:14 a.m. text like a jackpot hit on a slot machine. Stop gambling with premium-grade anxiety. Tune in as we figure out why we treat the people who actually answer us like they’re waiting in a dark room, while we chase the ones running away.

What do we mean by keeping score? It’s that mental spreadsheet where every favor, chore, and emotional effort is logged and compared.the quiet killer of connection,” and for good reason. People fall into it when household duties feel unequal, when they crave recognition, or when unspoken expectations about a perfect 50/50 split linger beneath the surface. Score-keeping turns love into a business transaction. Instead of freely giving, partners start measuring return on investment. Resentment builds, defensiveness follows, and small acts of kindness get weighed instead of celebrated. Research on “communal relationships” backs this up: couples are happiest when they give because they want to, not because they’re keeping a ledger.

Understanding your partner deeply builds connection and trust, but sometimes over-familiarity can create blind spots or strain. On this episode we discuss four ways this dynamic can unfold and tips to keep the bond thriving.

Navigating Opposite-Sex Friendships in Marriage Friendships are essential, but what happens when those friendships cross into opposite-sex territory while you (or your friend) are married? In this episode, we’ll dive into the sometimes-sensitive subject of being friends with a married man or woman. Should husbands and wives have close friendships outside their marriage with the opposite sex? What boundaries should be in place? Is it different when both parties are married versus when one isn’t? And what happens when trust, jealousy, or blurred lines come into play?

Alright y’all  let’s talk about something that makes the world go ‘round… or at least makes us swipe right. Looks. We all know physical attraction matters  but what happens when the abs turn to flabs, the hairline moves back like it’s late for work, or life throws a curveball and appearances change? Today we’re asking the big question: if you marry for looks, are you setting yourself up for a love story… or a really expensive photo album? You can watch the episode here.
