In Sunday’s episode the six-time Pro Bowl selection, and
philanthropist, dined with friends and family in Alabama to celebrate him receiving
the Alabama Hall of Fame award for football excellence.
The dining experience became a bit tense between Samuels’
wife and his mother, Shirley Samuels, when the subject of marriage principles - and
money – became the topic of discussion.
“He’s so frugal we’ll
be good for the next 100 years”, Monique said of the couple’s financial status.
“We’re straight.”
Mama Samuels is heard saying, “They need to hook me up with
some of that money.”
At one point during the celebratory meal, the
couple discussed how their marriage isn’t always a walk in the park.
“There are days when I
look at him and ask why the heck did I marry him? He's looking at me like, why the heck did I marry this big-mouthy-behind woman?”
“True”, Chris said. "It's true. I'm agreeing with her."
Perhaps suggesting the couple could benefit from some
marriage advice, Monique posed the question, “Why not look to other people who
are better examples than what we had?”
While Chris' mother seems to think she’s
the one the couple should go to for advice, it’s probably a safe bet that neither Chris, nor Monique, has asked
his mother for such advice.
“They problem is they never asked me for advice”, said Mrs. Samuels. “And I got good advice.”
There were a few more moments between
the Samuels women, including one where mother-in-law suggested her
daughter-in-law “get a job.”
"She better think about who pay for the babies", she said when finding out the couple has planned for two more children.

"I just telling you, or all of you, my definition of marriage", said Mama Samuels. "Marriage is thick and thin."
To which Monique responded, "I'm sure everyone has their own definition of marriage."

Feeling caught in the cross-hairs of the mother-wife
exchanges Chris intervened, thanking everyone for coming and ending the dining
experience by saying, 'We gotta get movin’".
“Didn’t I set that heifer straight?”
Now, mothers-in-laws don't talk that way about their new in-laws unless they are feeling some sort of way.
Despite the two women trading opinions at each other Monique is hopeful
she can have a decent relationship with her husband’s mother.
“Chris’ mom means something to me”, Monique said. “We
should get along.”
Along with Samuels’ wife, The Real Housewives of Potomac features
Charrisse Jordan, the wife of former Washington Wizards coach Eddie Jordan. The
separated couple lives apart; Eddie in New Jersey and Charrisse choosing to
remain in the DC area while she deals with the couple’s impending divorce.
The show airs Sundays on Bravo TV. Check local listing for air times.
