Adrienne and Israel’s Splashy Monthly Marriage “Check-Ins”
Adrienne Houghton: Israel and I do monthly check-ins, we’ve obviously only been married for 15 months, but…
Tamera Mowry-Housley: Yeah.
Jeannie Mai: Yeah.
Adrienne: We do monthly check-ins…
Loni Love: That’s a long time.
[The Real audience laughs]
Jeannie: No, no…
Tamera: They’re in that newlywed phase.
Adrienne: No! It’s still so new! Ok…
Loni: That’s a lease!
Adrienne: We get in the bathtub, we make like a monthly appointment, we take these long baths…
Loni: Wait, wait, you said you be in the bathtub?
Adrienne: Yeah, we have a big bathtub…
Loni: That ain’t a serious – that’s y’all being…
Adrienne: No! It is, because I think it’s also important to create an environment that doesn’t feel hostile and that it’s actually romantic, where it’s like, obviously just as much as you might give some critique, you also are giving some great compliments, like “Man, baby, I love the way you love me…”
Loni: But to me, you automatically say yes if you in the bathtub, “Yes, whatever you want baby, yesssss!”
[The Real audience applauds]
Jeannie: But that’s…
Adrienne: But that’s how it should be, it’s a nice environment, I actually am in an environment where I want to hear his heart, not just his words.
Tamera: But the thing is, you guys are having – it sounds like you guys are having a conversation. You’re not pulling out a list.
Loni: Yeah, right.
Tamera: The thing about this I don’t like – she never says anything positive upfront. It’s always things…
Adrienne: He was 11% more, uh…
Tamera: 11%? Oh my god. What’s that?
Jeannie: But see, the mistake in that is, you guys have a reward. The reward happening while you’re giving the review…
Loni: The reward is YEAH! AH!
