⁠Your Childhood Scars Can Make You A Better Husband - Khaya Thusi

[S1] EPISODE 34: WHY MARRIAGE IS THE BEST OPTION FOR MEN?
In this episode, we speak about what it really takes to be a happy husband—a journey shaped by sacrifice, legacy, and the quiet, unspoken wisdom passed down through generations. Growing up with parents who have been married for over 30 years, Khaya Thusi reflects on how in his father’s retirement & newfound openness he has inspired him to work harder, not only to provide for his own children but to leave a lasting legacy.
Marriage, he says, isn’t just about one grand heroic gesture but about the daily commitment to live for one’s family, surrendering ego and opening up for God to work on his heart as a man. Marriage is designed to refine us, placing healthy boundaries around our lives and shifting our focus from self-centered goals to building something greater with our spouses.
 
These boundaries—grounded in faith, tradition, and law—challenge us to become men who live up to the responsibility of fatherhood and partnership. In moments when the journey feels tough, it’s those boundaries that keep us grounded, helping us grow through the struggles and reminding us of the beauty and stability that committed love brings. Real love, after all, is about finding strength in the restrictions and realising that growth requires both sacrifice and intentionality.
Finally, with two decades of marriage combined, Blaque & Khaya share hard-earned insights on what it takes to grow as a husband, father, and man. We share lessons learned about the value of vulnerability, communication, and dreaming as a team. We’ve faced challenges together with our wives, made mistakes, but emerged stronger. This episode unpacks these lessons—everything from intimacy and patience to the joy of seeing love deepen over the years.
It’s an honest, inspiring look at how marriage not only changes but refines, bringing out a calibre of love and leadership that only comes through years of committed growth.

[S1] EPISODE 33: HOW READY ARE YOU FOR MARRIAGE?
In this episode, we dive into the privilege of intergenerational involvement in preparing young men for marriage. We discuss the importance of shaping boys early on, not just to find a wife, but to grow into husbands with a clear vision for their marriage. It’s not enough to look for a "modern" partner or a "traditional" role; husbands need wives who speak into their lives, offering wisdom and intellect that influence their growth as men.
The first two years of marriage are critical, and too many husbands fail during this period due to uncommunicated expectations and a lack of preparation for the significant change a marriage brings. Karabo Rasebitse touches on the reasons behind marital breakdowns, including the common focus on childhood traumas for infidelity.
Men often lie to themselves about sex being purely physical, failing to realize the emotional weight it carries. A husband must take responsibility for his wife, setting boundaries in old friendships to protect his marriage, and learning to embrace vulnerability, despite how society has socialized men to repress emotions. Marriage, as we uncover, is a beautiful chaos where two worlds collide to create something new.
Husbands need to find solid male friendships to lean on during the journey, creating a support system of three to four men who can carry them through tough times and hold them accountable. This episode offers an honest look at how early grooming and intentional relationships can help men transition smoothly into the life-altering experience of marriage.

Enjoy the video version of this episode on YouTube
In this episode, we get into the unique challenges of navigating the instability of non-traditional careers while maintaining the same level of responsibility as those in more traditional, stable jobs. Balancing financial uncertainty with building a secure future, especially within a marriage, requires transparent conversations about money, dreams, and long-term goals.
How can one thrive in both personal and professional spheres through careful planning and strong communication with a supportive spouse? Bongani Baloyi reflects on the value of consistent relationship check-ins, for him and his wife, the "7th of every month" meetings, ensure that they are both growing together, tackling issues head-on, and staying aligned through open communication, especially around finances because of how unpredictable his industry is.
Through personal anecdotes, such as transitioning from catching trains to now driving with his wife, Bongani emphasizes that marriage and being an entrepreneur are journeys of growth. Despite financial ups and downs, they remain committed to one another, celebrating milestones with love and faith in God’s provision.
