This week’s episode of Love and Marriage Detroit placed a significant emphasis on the concept of partnership within marriage. It delved into the success, failures, and ongoing efforts of various couples in their journey together. Given the events of the past two episodes, this theme is particularly fitting. So, let’s explore the idea of partnership in more detail, shall we?
Firstly, let’s discuss Brandon Smith’s role as a partner. Throughout the series, he consistently gaslights his wife, Kristina Bowman Smith. He unjustly blames her for hindering his career growth and even manipulates his friends into supporting his claims. It’s absurd to suggest that going to clubs is the key to success as a music scout. Additionally, Brandon fails to mention any specific scouting endeavors he’s undertaken. Furthermore, it’s revealed that he had an “emotional affair” with an artist he signed, whom his wife had also befriended. This behavior is truly disgraceful. Instead of providing evidence or involving Kristina in his business decisions, Brandon shuts her out and belittles her. He exhibits narcissistic tendencies, and it’s clear that he values his own ego over the well-being of their marriage. If he continues down this path, Kristina should seriously consider leaving him.
Next, let’s address the importance of communication in maintaining successful partnerships. Take the example of Kolby Harris and Russell Harris’s situation. Russell’s decision to become a pastor greatly unsettles Kolby. She feels disregarded, especially since he made this choice without consulting her. Kolby, having grown up as a pastor’s child and experiencing her own traumas from that upbringing, understandably has reservations. Unfortunately, her parents fail to support her concerns and side with Russell. Later, Russell attempts to downplay Kolby’s worries through a metaphorical scenario involving a gym activity. However, Kolby sees through this gesture and stands firm in her dissatisfaction with his lack of communication. Hopefully, Russell will eventually listen to her and understand her perspective.
The Thompsons, on the other hand, face a more complex challenge when it comes to determining what’s best for their family. Anthony Thompson defends his decision to pursue career opportunities in Atlanta without fully involving his wife. In his mind, this would ultimately benefit their family. However, LaToya Thompson feels abandoned and overwhelmed by the difficulties their children face at home. Both spouses have valid points, and Anthony is grappling with resentment stemming from these circumstances. Complicating matters further is the fact that Anthony wholeheartedly supports and invests in LaToya’s business ventures, while she seems to impose restrictions on his pursuits.
Moving forward, it remains to be seen what will happen in the coming episodes of Love and Marriage Detroit. While it may be hopeful to expect Kristina to leave Brandon, it appears they are committed to seeking counseling and working on their marriage. However, it seems that Brandon is now redirecting his energy towards finding someone else for Kristina to blame, in order to divert attention from his own faults. Kolby has become his primary target, especially after their disastrous anniversary picnic. It seems he is determined to outdo Martell Holt of Huntsville in terms of narcissism, and unfortunately, we witness this transformation unfolding before our eyes.
