[S2] EPISODE 6: A PARTNER, NOT AN OWNER
What does it truly mean to be a husband? In this episode we sit down with Themba Tom Ntuli for an eye-opening conversation about the weight of marriage, the responsibility of leadership, and the art of driftingâhow men often don't realize theyâre slipping until theyâve fallen. We talk about how men leave relationships when theyâre hurting, but women leave when theyâve healed. By the time she stops fighting, stops asking, stops including you in her future, sheâs already gone. But what if you could recognize the signs before itâs too late?
We also dive into the role of accountabilityâwho is leading you as you lead your family? From the pressures of success to the temptations that come when a man starts drifting, we break down why every husband needs a brotherhood, mentors, and a spiritual covering. Real men donât walk alone. When life gets heavy, when temptation knocks, who do you call? In this episode, we explore practical ways to stay anchored, fight for your marriage, and be the husband your family needs.
Finally, we talk about serving our wivesânot just in words, but in action. Too many women pour into their husbandsâ dreams only to be forgotten when itâs their turn. A husband isnât just a provider; heâs a supporter, a protector, a safe space. If marriage isnât a graveyard for a manâs dreams, why should it be one for a womanâs? Letâs talk about what it really means to build, honor, and uplift our wives the way they do for us.

[S2] EPISODE 5: THE "PERFECT HUSBAND" TRAP
In this episode, Blaque and Eleanor, take a moment to reflect on the often unseen pressures that husbands carry in their role as providers. Whether employed, underemployed, or unemployed, the weight of wanting to provide for their families can be suffocating. We discuss how wives can support their husbands during these difficult timesâby acknowledging their emotional toll and offering encouragement, even when things feel uncertain. It's easy to overlook the quiet resilience husbands show when they are struggling to find work or battling pressures at their jobs. A simple acknowledgment can make all the difference in a husbandâs journey to stay hopeful and strong.
This conversation also celebrates the dedication of husbands who show up. Itâs about honouring the husbands who, even when they may not have it all together, show up for their families with hands that are willing to serve and hearts that remain determined. The episode also highlights those husbands who, even during seasons of illness or hardship, step up to care for their wivesâtaking on household chores, offering emotional support, and holding the fort down when their wives need rest. Their commitment is not just admirable, itâs worth celebrating.
As Blaque and Eleanor explore the intricacies of marriage, they dive deep into the importance of communication and prayer during seasons of disconnect. Wives, who may feel overwhelmed or distant, are encouraged to share their needs and feelings with their husbands. Change starts with vulnerability, and in these moments, prayer becomes a powerful tool for both spouses to navigate through tough times.
We close the episode with a reminder to join us at Beans and Bonds, a special monthly gathering for the community, where you can share your own reflections over coffee and connect with others who understand the challenges and joys of marriage.

[S2] EPISODE 4: A SERIOUS WAKE-UP CALL
In this episode, Blaque sits with Jabulile of Men Speak With Jabulile who grew up believing that men were unreliable, untrustworthy, and ultimately dispensable in marriage. Raised by a feminist mother who lowered her expectations of men and was discipled by a divorced female pastor who unknowingly passed down unhealthy marital habits, she entered marriage with a mindset that slowly unravelled her relationship. But when divorce forced her to confront her own shortcomings, she realized a sobering truthâher expectations, beliefs, and behaviours had contributed just as much to the breakdown of her marriage as her ex-husbandâs actions.
Now, after deep personal work and accountability, Jabu is on a mission to change the conversation. Instead of silencing men, she wants to empower them to speak up, lead with confidence, and take their rightful place in shaping stronger marriages and families. Through her journey, sheâs discovered that men arenât the problemâsilencing them is. In this episode, she shares what sheâs learned, the painful realisations she faced, and why she now believes that men hold the key to changing the future of marriages in our country.
If youâve ever felt unheard in your marriage or struggled with the weight of unrealistic expectations, if you're a husband struggling to be heard, or a wife who wants to understand marriage from a new perspective, this episode is for you. Join us as we unpack the lessons Jabulile learned the hard way and explore how husbands can reclaim their voice, their role, and their impact in building thriving marriages.

[S2] EPISODE 2: YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO HONEST
In this episode, we explore the highs and lows of navigating marriage and faith as Charlie opens up about his journey of growth and intentionality in every area of life. From the struggles to the breakthroughs, his honest reflections on marriage highlight the importance of being intentional, especially when it comes to creating peace and emotional security at home. Itâs easy to overlook these foundational elements, but Charlie beautifully shows how the effort of nurturing a home thatâs rooted in love and faith leads to a stronger bond and a deeper connection with his wife. His message about building a marriage centered around spiritual and emotional growth resonates deeply with any man seeking to lead in this way.
The conversation takes a powerful turn when Charlie speaks about stewarding his singleness before marriage. His reminder that thereâs no rush to jump into relationships without first understanding the value of working on yourself is a critical lesson for younger men. Too often, society pressures us to test the waters of life before weâve even learned to manage our own emotional and spiritual health. His message encourages men to lean into this season of singleness as a time for personal growth, so they can enter relationships and marriages with a healthier, more intentional mindset.
The episode also takes a vulnerable look at how faith plays an integral role in overcoming the challenges of marriage. Charlie shares how leaning on God and supporting each other in marriage has led to significant personal growth. Heâs transparent about the hard moments and the work it takes to nurture a healthy marriage, encouraging men to seek support when needed and remain authentic in their relationships. This conversation is a powerful reminder that becoming the man God created you to be requires commitment, humility, and an openness to grow every single day.

[S1] EPISODE 34: WHY MARRIAGE IS THE BEST OPTION FOR MEN?
In this episode, we speak about what it really takes to be a happy husbandâa journey shaped by sacrifice, legacy, and the quiet, unspoken wisdom passed down through generations. Growing up with parents who have been married for over 30 years, Khaya Thusi reflects on how in his fatherâs retirement & newfound openness he has inspired him to work harder, not only to provide for his own children but to leave a lasting legacy.
Marriage, he says, isnât just about one grand heroic gesture but about the daily commitment to live for oneâs family, surrendering ego and opening up for God to work on his heart as a man. Marriage is designed to refine us, placing healthy boundaries around our lives and shifting our focus from self-centered goals to building something greater with our spouses.
These boundariesâgrounded in faith, tradition, and lawâchallenge us to become men who live up to the responsibility of fatherhood and partnership. In moments when the journey feels tough, itâs those boundaries that keep us grounded, helping us grow through the struggles and reminding us of the beauty and stability that committed love brings. Real love, after all, is about finding strength in the restrictions and realising that growth requires both sacrifice and intentionality.
Finally, with two decades of marriage combined, Blaque & Khaya share hard-earned insights on what it takes to grow as a husband, father, and man. We share lessons learned about the value of vulnerability, communication, and dreaming as a team. Weâve faced challenges together with our wives, made mistakes, but emerged stronger. This episode unpacks these lessonsâeverything from intimacy and patience to the joy of seeing love deepen over the years.
Itâs an honest, inspiring look at how marriage not only changes but refines, bringing out a calibre of love and leadership that only comes through years of committed growth.

[S1] EPISODE 33: HOW READY ARE YOU FOR MARRIAGE?
In this episode, we dive into the privilege of intergenerational involvement in preparing young men for marriage. We discuss the importance of shaping boys early on, not just to find a wife, but to grow into husbands with a clear vision for their marriage. Itâs not enough to look for a "modern" partner or a "traditional" role; husbands need wives who speak into their lives, offering wisdom and intellect that influence their growth as men.
The first two years of marriage are critical, and too many husbands fail during this period due to uncommunicated expectations and a lack of preparation for the significant change a marriage brings. Karabo Rasebitse touches on the reasons behind marital breakdowns, including the common focus on childhood traumas for infidelity.
Men often lie to themselves about sex being purely physical, failing to realize the emotional weight it carries. A husband must take responsibility for his wife, setting boundaries in old friendships to protect his marriage, and learning to embrace vulnerability, despite how society has socialized men to repress emotions. Marriage, as we uncover, is a beautiful chaos where two worlds collide to create something new.
Husbands need to find solid male friendships to lean on during the journey, creating a support system of three to four men who can carry them through tough times and hold them accountable. This episode offers an honest look at how early grooming and intentional relationships can help men transition smoothly into the life-altering experience of marriage.

[S1] EPISODE 32: CAN YOU THRIVE IN LOVE WHILE CHASING YOUR DREAMS?
Enjoy the video version of this episode on YouTube
In this episode, we get into the unique challenges of navigating the instability of non-traditional careers while maintaining the same level of responsibility as those in more traditional, stable jobs. Balancing financial uncertainty with building a secure future, especially within a marriage, requires transparent conversations about money, dreams, and long-term goals.
How can one thrive in both personal and professional spheres through careful planning and strong communication with a supportive spouse? Bongani Baloyi reflects on the value of consistent relationship check-ins, for him and his wife, the "7th of every month" meetings, ensure that they are both growing together, tackling issues head-on, and staying aligned through open communication, especially around finances because of how unpredictable his industry is.
Through personal anecdotes, such as transitioning from catching trains to now driving with his wife, Bongani emphasizes that marriage and being an entrepreneur are journeys of growth. Despite financial ups and downs, they remain committed to one another, celebrating milestones with love and faith in Godâs provision.

EPISODE 31: ARE YOU SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE IN EVERY ARGUMENT?
In this episode, we explore the heart of conflict resolution in marriage, focusing on how couples can navigate differences with intentionality and grace. Conflict is inevitable, but resolving it requires maturity, accountability, and understanding each other's unique approachesâwhether one processes slowly or prefers to address issues immediately. We also discuss the influence of our upbringing, the power of forgiveness, and how to move forward with wisdom.
VTJ Masakona of Calvary Christian Church dives with us deep into tough topics like intimacy and loss, emphasizing that sex is about giving, not transactions, and that grace should be extended even when itâs hard. He highlights the importance of nurturing affection, not giving room for division, and the value of sacrificing for each other in ways that lead to true oneness.
Finally, we reflect on Jesus' example of sacrifice and challenge viewers to fight for their marriages. Ask yourself a crucial question, If you had to redo your marriage from scratch, with all that you and your spouse know, would your spouse choose you again? Itâs a call to build stronger marriages where conflict deepens intimacy and both partners grow together.

EPISODE 30: AN OPEN BOOK
In todayâs episode, we are joined by Jabu Zwane and we dive deep into the complex emotions and responsibilities husbands face in marriage. From the power wives hold in shaping the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual strength of their husbands, to the pain of losing a spouse and learning to love againâthis conversation uncovers the profound journey men embark on when they commit to marriage.
We explore the often-untold struggles men encounter: the fear of openly loving their wives, the deep need for validation, and the weight of carrying love without direction.

[S1] EPISODE 29: HUSTLE CULTURE
Itâs no secret that men face a lot of pressure, particularly the challenges of stress and fatigue. In this episode, we explore the importance of using creativity to elevate stress, peer mentorship, and the critical need for black men to take their health seriouslyâwhether that means supplements, better habits, or simply being part of a community.
As black men in South Africa, the burden of disease and the alarming rise of substance abuse have reached critical levels, especially among those who feel isolated and without community support. We need to prioritize our health, not only physically but mentally, and take serious steps to address how we cope. As men, it's easy to bury ourselves in work, justifying long hours and the grind by the paycheque, but true accountability lies in managing our time effectively, especially as husbands and fathers.
Itâs about understanding that our mental health is like a pressure cooker, and if we donât find creative outlets or mentors to help, we risk letting that pressure boil over.
As a full-time doctor, husband, father of two sons, and content creator, Dr Khuliso Ramashia knows firsthand the demands that come with trying to balance everything. It's not just about being busy; it's about being intentional with your time. The truth is, itâs easier to work than to be present at home, but being a provider doesn't make you a great husband.
The weight of responsibility can trick us into thinking weâre doing enough, but if our families are suffering, what are we really achieving? Dr Ramashiaâs goal is to help bridge the gap in medical information access and inspire men to step up in their roles, not only in their careers but in their homes and communities. Raising two sons who have a diverse heritage in South Africa means he is constantly navigating how to help them embrace their identity in a complex society. He wants to give them the tools to grow as proud brown boys, grounded in their rich background. His passion for giving his all to everything he does drives him, hence he refuses to be celebrated as a great doctor who couldn't take care of his own family.

[S1] EPISODE 28: PUBLIC LOVE, PRIVATE BATTLES
In this episode, Thabang "Banger" Mvuyane shares his deeply personal journey from Married at First Sight, a reality show that dramatically reshaped his life. Frustrated by unsuccessful dating experiences, he joined the show in search of something genuine, but what unfolded went far beyond his expectations.
The cameras captured his early arrogance, which marriage quickly humbled, forcing him to re-evaluate his understanding of love and commitment with a woman he had just met. The challenges of getting to know each other while constantly being filmed were just the beginning. The couple faced personal battles as well, navigating the awkwardness of on-camera arguments and the harsh reality of online trolls. Beyond the glitz of reality TV, they were left to manage not only their relationship but the weight of public scrutiny, as what was shown on screen didnât fully capture the complicated reality they lived off-camera.
In this episode, he reflects on the profound lessons learned throughout the experience, including his public missteps, such as breaking up with his wife on national television. He opens up about the emotional baggage both he and his wife brought into the marriage, the discovery of her communication with an ex, and the maturity the marriage brought him. This story sheds light on the hard truths of growing within a marriage witnessed by millions and the deep personal transformation that followed.
