What happens when love crosses cultures, languages, countries… and trauma?
In this episode of Married & Magnetic, we sit down with Aide Londoño and David Klock, a multicultural couple navigating marriage across languages, racial identity, immigration, entrepreneurship, and deeply different lived experiences.
Aide, an Afro-Latina woman born in Colombia, and David, a white American educator-turned-financial advisor, share what it really takes to build trust, safety, and connection when assumptions, communication styles, and emotional wiring don’t always match.
This conversation is for any couple who has ever felt misunderstood… talked past each other… or struggled to feel seen — especially when cultural or family-of-origin differences add extra layers.
You’ll hear powerful insights on assuming positive intent, not taking your partner’s reactions personally, slowing conflict down, and learning how to receive love when survival taught you to do everything alone.
Whether you’re in a multicultural relationship or simply learning how to love someone who grew up very differently than you did, this episode offers real tools, lived wisdom, and a beautiful reminder that marriage works best when it’s “us against the problem.”
