Welcome back to another episode of Midwest Married. Maintaining a happy/healthy relationship, kids, friendship, intimacy and everything else that could come at you in this crazy thing we call life. This week, we were a little late because Matt caught influenza—but that didn’t stop us! In this episode, we’re diving into the feverish (and funny) realities of being under the weather in a relationship. Should your significant other play nurse, or is everyone on their own? Who takes care of the kids when the house is full of sniffles? And let’s settle it once and for all: are men actually that sick, or is it just the infamous "Man Cold"?
