In this Valentine’s Day special of The Monie Podcast, I sit down with a beautiful couple, Alana and Dennis Dunkley — a young, faith-driven pair whose intentional love and openly shared date nights first caught my attention on social media.
But this conversation goes far beyond picture-perfect moments.
We explore what it really takes to build a love that lasts.
In this episode, we discuss:
❤️ Their individual upbringings and how their backgrounds shaped the way they show up in marriage
❤️ What sectors they each work in and how career demands impact their relationship
❤️ How they met, how long they dated, and how long they’ve been married
❤️ The role of faith as the foundation of their union
❤️ The trials and tribulations they’ve faced — and how they fought for each other
❤️ Mental health in marriage, emotional safety, and vulnerability
❤️ Why date nights matter and how they keep the spark alive
❤️ Honest advice for young couples courting with the intention to marry
Alana, a mental health advocate, shares powerful insight into protecting your peace while building partnership. Dennis speaks candidly about leadership, love, and the importance of choosing your spouse daily — especially during difficult seasons.
We also lighten the mood with a fun “Who’s Most Likely To?” game that reveals their playful dynamic and reminds us that laughter is part of longevity.
This episode is about more than romance.
It’s about faith.
It’s about friendship.
It’s about fighting for forever.
If you’re single, dating, engaged, or married — this conversation will inspire you to love intentionally, communicate honestly, and build something that stands the test of time.
Because good things are coming… when love is built on purpose.
