Should We Get Married? with Maxson and Emily
We’re Maxson and Emily. We’ve been together for 4.5 years and we want to have a family together, but…getting legally married? That’s not so obvious to us. In each episode we talk to someone who has special knowledge about marriage: a divorcee, an ER nurse, an accountant, a prenup lawyer, a polyamorous married couple, a 12-year-old with unmarried parents, and many others. In our final episode, we’ll decide what we want to do – get married, or stay dating forever.
Whether you’re engagement-curious, a lifelong skeptic, happily married, or simply hungry for honest conversations about modern love and partnership, we welcome you to join us as we decide: should we get married?

Esme & PF: do kids need married parents?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We talk to Esme, a 12-year-old, and her dad PF, about their unusual family structure. Esme’s parents were never legally married, so we get to ask her: what was that like? Did you feel like your parents were more likely to break up? Any issues while traveling? And are you, Esme, interested in getting married yourself one day? And much more.
