🫶 Our Relationship Deep Dive | Easy Bake Lovin’ Podcast – Episode 15

Before the love languages, before Team Popsicle, before grocery shopping became a mini-date—there was one big question: Why does this work so well?

This week, Steve and Kellie roll up their sleeves and take a real look under the hood of their marriage. With stories from past relationships gone sideways (video games, wet sheets, and ghosting at concerts), they share exactly what not to do—and how those lessons helped them build something solid, fun, and fully theirs.

This episode isn’t about perfect romance. It’s about partnership. About doing the damn laundry. About not gaslighting your person in the pasta aisle. About choosing curiosity over control, every single time.

And yes, there’s some solid psychology:

📘 Games People Play by Eric Berne – decoding ego states through Transactional Analysis

📕 Neurosis and Human Growth by Karen Horney – escaping the “Tyranny of Shoulds”

💌 The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman – affection at Costco means everything

📗 The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey – for that emotional bank account

🎨 The Creative Act by Rick Rubin – honoring each other’s methods without judgment

If you’ve ever felt out of sync with your partner—or finally in step—this deep dive’s for you.
