We Over Me: The Counterintuitive Approach to Getting Everything You Want from Your Relationship

By Devale Ellis and Khadeen Ellis

Book Overview

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The stars of the social media show The Ellises and hosts of the Webby Award-winning podcast Dead Ass with K&D share the core pillars of their relationship as millennial lovers and parents that have allowed them to thrive.

"Staying married in this day and age takes a whole different mindset, and this book gives an intimate and honest look at the inner workings of their strong union."--Gia Peppers, award-winning journalist and host

After twelve years of marriage, twenty years together, and four kids, Devale and Khadeen Ellis have been through a lot. They've loved their way through a long-distance relationship, financial instability, parenthood, Khadeen's near-death, and their near-divorce, chronicling their day-to-day life with their boys online. After much trial and error, they hit upon one surprising, essential truth: If you're looking for a healthy relationship and a fulfilling life, focus on your partner's needs instead of your wants. Choosing service over selfishness will not only make your relationship stronger, but it will help you achieve your own goals and build a legacy together.

With their trademark transparency and humor, Khadeen and Devale share the messy, behind-the-scenes work of what it takes to succeed and support one another in their search for individual purpose while growing in their marriage. They discuss family, parenting, sex and intimacy, finances, and commitment, with honest advice threaded through their stories, such as:

- Stop comparing yourselves to other couples and make your own rules.
- Learn how to function as a team.
- Keep talking about sex.
- The kids ain't first.

The Ellises might not have all the answers, but they do know that good love takes friendship, grace, and service. Their personal and relatable truths will inspire you to be the kind of partner you want to be so you can build a supportive, enduring relationship.

We over me

What can I say the tittle explains it. In a relationship it has to be WE because WE are a team, WE are equal and WE are 1. I've been following the Ellis family for some years now and was excited to hear a book was coming. I'm a few chapters in and I like the way the book is wrote. I haven't seen a book like this before. Bless the 2 of you and thanks for being transparent and honest normal people and not letting fame change you. Love you guys BROOKLYN baby!!!!
