[S1] EPISODE 36: UNDER SCRUTINY
 
In this episode of That Husband Podcast, we sit down with Priviledge to reflect on his first 11 months of marriage. We discuss the reality of early marriage, the disconnect between expectations and the challenges that arise, and the growth that comes with working through those struggles. Privilege shares how his idealised views on marriage have been reshaped by experience, leading him to greater self-awareness and a deeper understanding of love.
The conversation delves into the messy but rewarding process of navigating conflicts and learning how to show up fully in a relationship, all while figuring out how to love better. We then explore the evolving roles of husbands in today’s world, discussing the need for clear communication and flexibility in how responsibilities are shared.
We tackle the generational shift in marriage dynamics, where today's husbands are more involved in household tasks and childcare, but also face new challenges without traditional role models. The conversation highlights the importance of sacrificial love versus compromising love and how marriage requires both partners to adjust their expectations and align on a shared vision. We emphasize that true leadership in marriage is about guiding your wife toward Christ, not demanding submission.
With a focus on growth, mutual respect, and faith, the episode provides valuable insights into how husbands can embrace their roles as leaders, partners, and spiritual heads of their households. We encourage men to approach marriage with realistic expectations, understanding that the difficult moments can strengthen their bond and lead to deeper love.
It’s a reminder that being a husband is a God-given mandate, and through love, patience, and continuous growth, husbands can build a strong foundation for their marriages.

[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.

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.

EPISODE 31: ARE YOU SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE IN EVERY ARGUMENT?
In this episode, we explore the heart of conflict resolution in marriage, focusing on how couples can navigate differences with intentionality and grace. Conflict is inevitable, but resolving it requires maturity, accountability, and understanding each other's unique approaches—whether one processes slowly or prefers to address issues immediately. We also discuss the influence of our upbringing, the power of forgiveness, and how to move forward with wisdom.
VTJ Masakona of Calvary Christian Church dives with us deep into tough topics like intimacy and loss, emphasizing that sex is about giving, not transactions, and that grace should be extended even when it’s hard. He highlights the importance of nurturing affection, not giving room for division, and the value of sacrificing for each other in ways that lead to true oneness.
Finally, we reflect on Jesus' example of sacrifice and challenge viewers to fight for their marriages. Ask yourself a crucial question, If you had to redo your marriage from scratch, with all that you and your spouse know, would your spouse choose you again? It’s a call to build stronger marriages where conflict deepens intimacy and both partners grow together.

How Long Hours & Big Paychecks Impact a Husband's Health - Dr. Khuliso Ramashia

[S1] EPISODE 29: HUSTLE CULTURE
It’s no secret that men face a lot of pressure, particularly the challenges of stress and fatigue. In this episode, we explore the importance of using creativity to elevate stress, peer mentorship, and the critical need for black men to take their health seriously—whether that means supplements, better habits, or simply being part of a community.
As black men in South Africa, the burden of disease and the alarming rise of substance abuse have reached critical levels, especially among those who feel isolated and without community support. We need to prioritize our health, not only physically but mentally, and take serious steps to address how we cope. As men, it's easy to bury ourselves in work, justifying long hours and the grind by the paycheque, but true accountability lies in managing our time effectively, especially as husbands and fathers.
It’s about understanding that our mental health is like a pressure cooker, and if we don’t find creative outlets or mentors to help, we risk letting that pressure boil over.
As a full-time doctor, husband, father of two sons, and content creator, Dr Khuliso Ramashia knows firsthand the demands that come with trying to balance everything. It's not just about being busy; it's about being intentional with your time. The truth is, it’s easier to work than to be present at home, but being a provider doesn't make you a great husband.
The weight of responsibility can trick us into thinking we’re doing enough, but if our families are suffering, what are we really achieving? Dr Ramashia’s goal is to help bridge the gap in medical information access and inspire men to step up in their roles, not only in their careers but in their homes and communities. Raising two sons who have a diverse heritage in South Africa means he is constantly navigating how to help them embrace their identity in a complex society. He wants to give them the tools to grow as proud brown boys, grounded in their rich background. His passion for giving his all to everything he does drives him, hence he refuses to be celebrated as a great doctor who couldn't take care of his own family.

In this episode, Thabang "Banger" Mvuyane shares his deeply personal journey from Married at First Sight, a reality show that dramatically reshaped his life. Frustrated by unsuccessful dating experiences, he joined the show in search of something genuine, but what unfolded went far beyond his expectations.
The cameras captured his early arrogance, which marriage quickly humbled, forcing him to re-evaluate his understanding of love and commitment with a woman he had just met. The challenges of getting to know each other while constantly being filmed were just the beginning. The couple faced personal battles as well, navigating the awkwardness of on-camera arguments and the harsh reality of online trolls. Beyond the glitz of reality TV, they were left to manage not only their relationship but the weight of public scrutiny, as what was shown on screen didn’t fully capture the complicated reality they lived off-camera.
In this episode, he reflects on the profound lessons learned throughout the experience, including his public missteps, such as breaking up with his wife on national television. He opens up about the emotional baggage both he and his wife brought into the marriage, the discovery of her communication with an ex, and the maturity the marriage brought him. This story sheds light on the hard truths of growing within a marriage witnessed by millions and the deep personal transformation that followed.

We are privileged to be joined by Kgabo Legora, who takes us into the world of a husband and father who bravely faces the realities of depression.
After experiencing a significant family event that triggered his mental health struggles, he discovered that his family lacked the language to process what was happening. Despite trying therapy in his teens and having a terrible experience, meeting Jesus at 18 became a pivotal moment that reshaped his life. This episode explores how his faith, coupled with the support of his close-knit community, has played a vital role in his journey to not just survive, but thrive as a husband, father, and business owner.
We’ll hear about the challenges he’s faced, from the toll depression and anti-depressants took on his body image to the burnout cycles and multiple attempts to overcome his lowest points. Through his lens as a freelance photographer, we explore how creativity has become a healing outlet, allowing him to express and fight against the darkness. In a marriage spanning a decade, he’s learned that to be healthy for his wife and kids, he needs consistency in life, not just in his relationship.
We hope you will walk away inspired by his determination to live a full life. He dreams of being emptied out by the time he leaves this earth, giving all he can, not only to his family but also to the world. Despite his unconventional story and ongoing battles, this episode celebrates the grace and resilience that have carried him through—and the profound hope he holds for his four children.
