They Still Argue After 26 Years—So Why Does Their Marriage Work? EP 116

They Still Argue After 26 Years—So Why Does Their Marriage Work? EP 11623. Sept.1 Std. 25 Min.

What does a healthy marriage actually look like after 26 years?

Spoiler: apparently, you can STILL argue about lateness. 😂

Sharonda and Dwight Wear have been married for 26 years. They met at the University of Virginia, raised three children, built a life together, became empty nesters—and now they even run a business and podcast together.

But when Sharonda told me before our conversation:

“I don't know why we work.”

I knew this wasn't going to be another polished conversation about the “secrets” to a successful marriage.

So I decided to investigate. 👀

In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, I sit down with the founders of Chocolate Rocket City for a funny, candid and surprisingly revealing look at what long-term healthy love can actually look like.

We start with my version of the Newlywed Game—except after 26 years of marriage—and their answers tell us A LOT.

Who apologizes first?

Who worries more?

Who initiates the difficult conversations?
