E1167 - Trad Wife Hysteria, Married At First Sight w/ Dr. Lisa & Unpacking Bravo Relationships w/ Dr. Baker

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Reality Recap! 

Dr. Lisa joins us to break down Married at First Sight, modern matchmaking, compatibility, why love isn't always enough, and what actually makes a relationship work long-term. Then Dr. Pamela Baker stops by to unpack Kyle and Amanda, intimacy, communication, couples therapy, and the relationship dynamics on The Valley. Plus, we get into Nara Smith, trad wife discourse, Alex Cooper's pregnancy announcement, and why the internet is so obsessed with putting women in boxes.
