IAP 267: Marriage Italian Style: The Stuff No One Says About Italian Marriage

<p>Happy Valentine’s Day, <em>paesani</em>! &nbsp;We’re celebrating the "Day of Amore" with a somewhat unusual episode we hope you enjoy… and that perhaps some of you can even relate to!</p> <p>You see, we here at the Italian American Podcast really are one big <em>famiglia</em>. &nbsp;The conversations we have on air are only the icing on the cake for a group of <em>cumpari</em> who spend an inordinate amount of time chatting, complaining, and dissecting life’s many vicissitudes with one another every week.</p> <p>So this week, Dolores and John have simply decided to “turn on the mic” for a recurring conversation they often find themselves in, and one that far too often goes unspoken in a world of lives curated for social media… a conversation about the ins-and-outs of &nbsp;“Marriage Italian Style."</p> <p>As they often do, they’re exploring the many pleasures and pitfalls of married life and the extra complications that come with being party to an Italian American marriage. &nbsp;They’ll examine what parts of their married lives are defined by the fact that they and their spouses are all Italian Americans, what marriage looks like when big, old-fashioned Italian American families are involved, and how they navigate between “old-fashioned” and “forward-thinking." They’ll share their takes on devotion, determination, and the highs and lows of AMORE!</p> <p>It’s a most intimate and unvarnished conversation that might be one you’ve been waiting for!</p>
