Intentional love isn't just a goal—it's a daily practice. Ling and Lamb, married content creators, beloved influencers, and authors, exemplify this through their blend of playful pranks and honest conversations.

In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell chats with Ling and Lamb about how they've mastered the art of blending humor, culture, extreme differences in upbringing, and deep connection. He grew up in Nigeria. She grew up in Connecticut. They have had to learn SO MUCH about one another in order to enjoy a vibrant intimate marriage. Now their Nigerian-American marriage is a beacon for couples wanting an intentional, fun, mutually respectful, awesome relationship.

This conversation offers practical advice for couples from different cultures as well as couples who merely come from different families, because each of us grows up with different reference points and assumptions.
