Everybody wants a traditional partner. But how many people actually want the responsibilities that come with a traditional relationship?

Men want feminine, supportive women. Women want protective, providing men. But once money, housework, childcare, leadership, career sacrifices, submission and responsibility enter the conversation, "traditional" can start looking a lot more complicated.

This week, Joia and Torrence put traditional relationships under the microscope, including their own marriage. What does a traditional man actually owe his woman? What does a traditional woman owe her man? Can you expect traditional gender roles while keeping the modern ones that...

Social media would have you believe Black men and Black women are at war.

Black women are "too masculine." Black men are "dusty." Women need to "date out." Men need to "get their passports." Provider, submission, masculinity, femininity, and dating conversations have turned into entire online communities built around telling one side exactly what's wrong with the other.

But how much of that reflects real life?

In this episode of HisNHers Unfiltered, Joia and Torrence ask a bigger question: Do Black men and Black women really have a relationship problem, or have we...

What happens when a husband and wife have to build their "perfect partner" from the same 15 relationship traits?

In this episode of HisNHers Unfiltered, Joia and Torrence are officially on the clock for the 2026 Relationship Draft.

We each get five picks. Once a trait is drafted, it's OFF the board. Loyalty. Trustworthiness. Great sex. Financial stability. Emotional intelligence. Physical attraction. Accountability. Peace. Ambition. Communication. And more.

But every pick comes with a catch: a hidden relationship question designed to expose WHY we value what we value. Then we put our final rosters to...

What happens when trust is broken in a relationship… but you decide to stay?

You forgave them. You stayed. But now you’re checking phones, questioning stories, watching locations, second-guessing decisions and waiting for the next reason not to believe them.

In this episode of His & Hers: Unfiltered, Joia and Torrence unpack trust issues in relationships, rebuilding trust after betrayal, privacy vs. secrecy, reassurance vs. surveillance, and the uncomfortable reality of choosing to stay after trust...

Can you cheat on your partner without ever physically touching another person?

No sex. No kiss. Maybe you've never even been in the same room.

But what about the DMs you deleted? The coworker you've gotten a little too close to? The ex who still has access? The person you vent to about your relationship? Or the attention you keep entertaining because technically... “nothing happened.”

In Episode 14 of His & Hers: Unfiltered, Joia and Torrence are getting into the gray areas of infidelity and asking a bigger question:

We hear it all the time after a breakup or divorce:

I'm finally getting back to me.

Suddenly they're traveling again, reconnecting with friends, getting back in the gym, rediscovering old hobbies and celebrating their newfound freedom.

In this episode of His & Hers: Unfiltered, Joia and Torrence unpack the complicated line between deep love, healthy dependence and codependency—and whether we've romanticized losing ourselves in relationships.

In this episode of His & Hers: Unfiltered, we're challenging one of the biggest myths in modern relationships. Too often we blame dating, marriage, or our partners when the real issue may be staring back at us in the mirror.
