Speaker 1 (00:00):
You know, people under estimate if you get married. The
wedding is a test ground for how you work together.
It's the first budget you have to navigate. It's the
first relations social experiment of your two sizes of the world. It's,
you know, the first opportunity for agreement and disagreement and
picking a color scheme and who's gonna do wed and
(00:21):
what you're gonna eat and me and you male prepping.
You know, like people be missing like this ain't just
throwing a party. This is an opportunity to lay down
a foundation or blueprint of your marriage. And so when
the wedding is over, the marriage is really what you're
working on. So being married is the mission. And then
once you get on the mission of marriage, then you
(00:43):
put your marriage on the mission.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Now, well, now that we together, right, we're.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Back with the Power Couple on Inspiration thirteen ninety Relationship
Talk Thursdays and conversations we have before we get on
the air.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Y'all just be in the room to understand what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
All right, So we're talking about discovering the mission of
your marriage. You submitted a statement that said a couple
with purpose can overcome any problems.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
So you've seen this work in your marriage.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Definitely.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
That was only the reason why I married him is
because he was on purpose and I could see on
a piece of paper of him not knowing that I
was watching of what he wanted in life and his
goals and things of that nature, and me looking at
his goals and the things that he wanted in regards
to a family and ministry were the things that I
(01:45):
wanted for myself. So I figured in my mind, being
with him, I'm not going to really have to change
that much. I don't have to alter my personality to
be with him or to dumby myself down. I can
be who I am and it's going to be welcome
and it's going to strengthen. So, yeah, him knowing his purpose,
and I mean and I had been in relationships before
(02:08):
and they were men that I could see what they
were supposed to be doing, but they could not see
what they were supposed to be doing.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
So now I'm hoping.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Against hope that you're going to get the revelation to
who you are and it was just wasted years.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
That's so good. So what is exactly purpose? Somebody's like
trying to.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
For why why you're together, why you're born? Purposes why,
it's the why behind the what so same in a relationship.
Why people underestimate in dating? Why should we be together?
Why are we getting married?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Like?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Why do you want to be married to me? You
know why?
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And if we can answer the question why and put
purpose to precede, one of the things in our marriage
coaching that we ask people to do is create a
vision for their marriage, create a why, create a mission
for your marriage. Why do you want to be together? Oh,
we love each other? That's not enough. That's you need
more than love. Equally, yoke does not just mean that
you are both saved. You know what I'm saying, hallelujah right. Unequally,
(03:12):
yoke means you can both be saved and still not
have the same direction, the same vision, and live on
the same mission.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And so purpose is why.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
And when you put purpose first, even when you have
a problem, you go back to why you're together.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Even when you want to quit, you go back to
why you're together. Even when you want to give up,
you go back to why.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So purpose can overcome problems, because problems come. But if
purpose is deep enough, if your why is deep enough,
you create a strategy to get around that and get
through it, because that's that's temporary. But why we're together
is that's that's why we're together. That's what we're doing right.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, Okay, I'm going to come back and answer I
want you want to answer this question. How do you
discover your individual gifts and bring them together as one
powerful assignment?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I think about that also if you have a question
a relationship talk Thursday.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Thank you so much for your questions that are coming
in for the Glenns the Power Couple.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
How many books have you all written? Is it twenty books?
Pastor Dramon, he's written twenty books. We've written three three together.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yes we have Okay, and that's great.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We got more on the way, more on the way.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
It's a part of your missions.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Okay, So you know there's a shared assignment as a couple,
as a married couple. But then I guess we also
have our individual gifts on individuals assignments. How do those
come together as one powerful assignment?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I think you.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
First have to do a self evaluation of knowing what
your gifts are. That's the first thing you know, and
I think some people don't really know what their gifts are,
and they have to know what that is in order
for you to be able to bring it together. And
then once you know what your gifts are, then the
other person you know what their gifts are, and you
know where the the strengths the strengths and also where
(05:17):
the weaknesses are too, and then deciding who's better at
the task at hand, and allowing that person to be
the superstar in there and to be the supporting person
in it. And you have to be comfortable with that
and not be competing with each other in various spaces
(05:38):
and places.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
And if you don't know, or you're still discovering.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Right in the Bible and in our book Kingdom Relationships,
a man is created to lead and a woman that's
created to help. And if you don't know what you
should be doing, that's the bare minimum.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Man of God.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
You need to provide some leadership because a woman can't
help but help. And if you don't provide leadership in
her dominion, she's also so she's.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Going to lead if you're not leading.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And then if you tell her where you're going and
what you're trying to do, she's gonna make it better
because she's annointed to help, so identifying gifts and strengths
before you get to the complication of all the other things.
At the bare foundation of how God created you in
the context of marriage is leadership and help. I will
provide a help mate for him because he's responsible for
(06:31):
doing these these this, this, this so.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
What hey, honey, how you doing? What? What we're doing?
What we're doing? Are we doing this?
Speaker 5 (06:37):
This?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, I'm gonna take this by I'm gonna do that.
You're gonna do that, I'm gonna do that. You know,
it's a barbecue, it's a dinner, it's a it's a vacation.
It's it's in the little clues that you automatically do
what you do. That's how you do it. You know,
we want to invite people over all, Right, I'm gonna
contact them and I'm gonna go grosser shopping. I'm gonna
cook the food, and I'm a season man, I'm a
barbecue and you're.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Gonna cook the side. Do you know what I'm saying.
It's like you already.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Function, and then people make it more complicated than it is,
and you don't know how to lean on each other
for each other's strength. You know, and that's what the
songs mean when they say you bring you know, I
bring home the bacon and you fried up in a pant.
You know. It's like there's too many people out here
feeling like they doing all of it and they're married.
Nobody should be married doing all of it. Somebody got
(07:22):
to do half of it and somebody got.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
To do the other half.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Do you ever have you guys ever found like somebody
may their mission or their role in the marriage may
be difficult if one person is always in the spotlight,
you know what I'm saying, like or one person This
is an example if one person, say, for instance, a
husband is a pastor and the wife is like, well.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
That's him, that's not who you know what I'm so
I am?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
What do you do when it seems like there's some
type of there's no clarity, or it seems like there's
some type of division when it comes to not really
really being sure or maybe it's not you're not aligned
in certain way.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I think, in using your example, I think sometimes that
is because because it doesn't always have to be a
man that is a pastor or whatever or the superstar.
And I won't say a superstar, the person that's kind
of like the in the spotlight. But I think when
the background or the supporting spouse, well that's them, I'm
not doing it. I think that has a lot to
(08:21):
do with the spotlight spouse not acknowledging what that person
or what that supporting spouse brings to the table. And
I have to say, I think early on in our marriage,
I said to my husband, you know, I'm like, listen,
my grandmother has told me horror stories of how she's
been treated as a as a pastor's wife, and I
(08:43):
just don't want to experience it.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
That's why I never wanted to marry a pastor.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
I said, But since I'm gonna do this, I need
you to understand what it might feel like, and I
need you to make sure. And me sharing that with him,
he always, always, never, never ever had to ever bring
that up ever again. My husband makes sure that we're
always taking care of My husband makes sure that our
not just me, but our children are treated in a
(09:08):
certain kind of way before he gets on the stage.
And so it's the background stuff. It's the stuff that
you do at home, it's the stuff that you do
on the way in the car. So being a support
doesn't necessarily put you in the background. It just means
that all pieces have to work in order for the
quote unquote star to be able to shine, because really
you're not shining if at home it's hell, you just
(09:30):
not you're not shining. So that's supporting spouse is the
essence of like the space of the spotlight. Like they're
like the silver lining of the other spouse. And that's
how you know that they have a good marriage when
that person is out there and they're shining and you
can get the energy and you can get the knowledge
(09:51):
and all this other kind of stuff, but you don't
feel nothing, feel nothing weird behind it because there's some
things you receive from people you like that was good,
but I don't know because it's the other stuff that's
not being seen, the internal stuff. So that supporting spouses
the internal organs of the shining spouse in order for
them to shine the way that they do that internally
(10:12):
has to those those things got to be tuned correctly,
and that is that tuning is done in private, that
tuning is done behind the scenes, that tuning is done
before they get on the stage.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I'm gonna sound like, you know, what you're talking about it.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And security and then and then the other the other
person that's not out front in the moment, has to provide,
have to be secure. Ye know who they are, who
they function, and what is You can't be insecure, You
can't be insecure.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
All right, We're gonna come back and talk about legacy,
marriages on mission create legacy. And you know, do you
believe your marriage was created to accomplish beyond raising children?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yes, talk about that.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's relationship talk Thursday with the Power Couple, Pastors Demone
and Erica Glynn, and we're talking about marriage as a
mission and also want to talk about our legacy.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You know, we have I have children, I have two children.
You all have how many children together?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Three?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Three children? Three children?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
This question came through what do you believe your marriage
was created to accomplish beyond raising children?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I think people think that multiply is pro create and
that's being that's all we're going to get together to
have children. And everybody don't even want children, and everybody
don't even have children.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
But your marriage is made for so much more. You know,
your marriage is made.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yes, you want to put good humans out into the
world that contribute to society. But your marriage is made
for so much more. Your marriage is made for each other,
for to accomplish something beyond just pro creation, but for multiplication,
for a dominion, for subduing, for you know, working together,
(12:04):
for collaboration, for partnership, for fellowship, for you know, so
much more. You get to decide the mission of your marriage.
And if people refocus to decide, yo, what do we
want to do together? You know, what do we want
to do. We want to travel the world together. We
want to make some money together, we want to leave
some money, we want to be philanthropists, we want to
(12:26):
you know, whatever that is that you want to.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Do, you can do it.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Because if two people touching degree is touching anything, it
shall be established. People use that for prayer, but they
don't use that for their for their marriage.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, and I think it's a marriag.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I think also, you know, when you're talking about multiplying
and legacy, you know, because you you live long enough,
your marriage will go through different seasons, you know what
I'm saying. So like if you are if you do
have children, and then what that looks like with elementary
children and in middle school and high school and then
becoming empty nesters. And then now if you haven't made
(13:03):
your marriage and your mission was your children, then now
you're like, who are you?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
And what are you still doing here?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
You know what I'm saying, And now you have to
discover marriage that if you would have just made your
marriage your mission, when your seasons of your marriage come
in and out, you would have still been able to
be sustainable in your marriage and not look at this
person after ten, fifteen, twenty years and say.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Who are you?
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You wouldn't you wouldn't have to ask that question, or
you would be asking that question because you've been asking
that question all these years. So I just think that
when people realize the mission of the of their marriage
and you know it it, great things come out of it.
But at the end of the day, our mission is
unto each other. Because this is the foundation, this is
(13:51):
the this is the place that our children are going
to reflect back on, this is where our grandchildren reflect
back on. Or this is the big business that we
have set up. The people that come through our business
that we have to handle, they're going to know who
we are and how what kind of bosses we are
to them. You know, all of the different projects and
books and legacy things that you leave on this earth
(14:13):
when you're gone. What did you do as a couple
that you were not able to do by yourself? And
just to give people the hope and to be the
example that this too, if we're in a difficult place,
shall pass because we got more to do. But when
that mission is it, if it's not in the forefront,
it makes it very cloudy and muddy to get through
(14:34):
some difficult times. But when you know what your mission is,
you're clear your focus and that's where you're heading to
where always?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
So, what if you did like your children like you
gave a lot of your attention to that, and now
that your children are grown and gone, yep, and you're
trying to figure this thing out?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
What is the step that somebody can take?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, you go back to the anniversary episode a couple
weeks ago and you refocus.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, exactly, and say where are we?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Okay, that's great, we get a good job. Good job?
What you want?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Because I know you want something right now? What you
want in this phase of life? How do you know?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
What does that look like? You reimagine what.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Does that bedroom is? Going to become an exercise room
that our kids like you do like you, and and
and I think sometimes you know children, they feel a
certain kind of way, like why you turn my bedroom
into an excellent because this is what your father wanted
or this is what your mother wanted. And we're married,
this is our house exactly, and you're gonna feel a
certain kind of way. And you're gonna be okay because
(15:36):
you felt that way when we told you get out
our bed.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
It's okay.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
You're gonna be all right, because this is our marriage
and this is the mission. This is our mission is
to be together. Our mission is to figure out what
we're supposed to do. Now that you're gonna go live
your life. We've got to live our lives without you
in a sense, and you were the main thing and
now we've got to reevalue what that looks like so
we can stay married, all right.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, if you missed the anniversary episode, listen back and
listen to the podcast. It's Rason thirteen ninety dot com
or there on the free iHeartRadio app. And of course
you can always reach out to the Glenns. The best
way to do that is what.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or at jermone Glenn dot com. Yes,
we're connected there and that's where you can find everything
that's happening and everything that's going on. One more of this,
follow us to the future.
You know, people under estimate if you get married. The
wedding is a test ground for how you work together.
It's the first budget you have to navigate. It's the
first relations social experiment of your two sizes of the world. It's,
you know, the first opportunity for agreement and disagreement and
picking a color scheme and who's gonna do wed and
(00:21):
what you're gonna eat and me and you male prepping.
You know, like people be missing like this ain't just
throwing a party. This is an opportunity to lay down
a foundation or blueprint of your marriage. And so when
the wedding is over, the marriage is really what you're
working on. So being married is the mission. And then
once you get on the mission of marriage, then you
(00:43):
put your marriage on the mission.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Now, well, now that we together, right, we're.
Speaker 3 (01:00):

be who I am and it's going to be welcome
and it's going to strengthen. So, yeah, him knowing his purpose,
and I mean and I had been in relationships before
(02:08):
and they were men that I could see what they

Speaker 4 (02:14):

That's so good. So what is exactly purpose? Somebody's like

Speaker 1 (02:23):
For why why you're together, why you're born? Purposes why,
it's the why behind the what so same in a relationship.
Why people underestimate in dating? Why should we be together?
Why are we getting married?
Speaker 3 (02:41):

discover your individual gifts and bring them together as one

Speaker 4 (03:57):
I think about that also if you have a question

Speaker 3 (04:13):
Thank you so much for your questions that are coming
in for the Glenns the Power Couple.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
How many books have you all written? Is it twenty books?
Pastor Dramon, he's written twenty books. We've written three three together.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yes we have Okay, and that's great.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
That's great.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
We got more on the way, more on the way.
Speaker 4 (04:33):

Speaker 5 (06:37):
This?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, I'm gonna take this by I'm gonna do that.
You're gonna do that, I'm gonna do that. You know,
it's a barbecue, it's a dinner, it's a it's a vacation.
It's it's in the little clues that you automatically do
what you do. That's how you do it. You know,
we want to invite people over all, Right, I'm gonna

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Gonna cook the side. Do you know what I'm saying.
It's like you already.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Function, and then people make it more complicated than it is,
and you don't know how to lean on each other
for each other's strength. You know, and that's what the
songs mean when they say you bring you know, I
bring home the bacon and you fried up in a pant.
You know. It's like there's too many people out here
feeling like they doing all of it and they're married.
Nobody should be married doing all of it. Somebody got
(07:22):
to do half of it and somebody got.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
To do the other half.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Do you ever have you guys ever found like somebody
may their mission or their role in the marriage may
be difficult if one person is always in the spotlight,
you know what I'm saying, like or one person This
is an example if one person, say, for instance, a
husband is a pastor and the wife is like, well.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
That's him, that's not who you know what I'm so
I am?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
What do you do when it seems like there's some
type of there's no clarity, or it seems like there's
some type of division when it comes to not really
really being sure or maybe it's not you're not aligned
in certain way.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
I think, in using your example, I think sometimes that
is because because it doesn't always have to be a
man that is a pastor or whatever or the superstar.
And I won't say a superstar, the person that's kind
of like the in the spotlight. But I think when
the background or the supporting spouse, well that's them, I'm
not doing it. I think that has a lot to
(08:21):
do with the spotlight spouse not acknowledging what that person
or what that supporting spouse brings to the table. And
I have to say, I think early on in our marriage,
I said to my husband, you know, I'm like, listen,
my grandmother has told me horror stories of how she's
been treated as a as a pastor's wife, and I
(08:43):
just don't want to experience it.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
That's why I never wanted to marry a pastor.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
I said, But since I'm gonna do this, I need
you to understand what it might feel like, and I
need you to make sure. And me sharing that with him,
he always, always, never, never ever had to ever bring
that up ever again. My husband makes sure that we're
always taking care of My husband makes sure that our
not just me, but our children are treated in a
(09:08):
certain kind of way before he gets on the stage.
And so it's the background stuff. It's the stuff that
you do at home, it's the stuff that you do
on the way in the car. So being a support
doesn't necessarily put you in the background. It just means
that all pieces have to work in order for the
quote unquote star to be able to shine, because really
you're not shining if at home it's hell, you just
(09:30):
not you're not shining. So that's supporting spouse is the
essence of like the space of the spotlight. Like they're
like the silver lining of the other spouse. And that's
how you know that they have a good marriage when
that person is out there and they're shining and you
can get the energy and you can get the knowledge
(09:51):
and all this other kind of stuff, but you don't
feel nothing, feel nothing weird behind it because there's some
things you receive from people you like that was good,
but I don't know because it's the other stuff that's
not being seen, the internal stuff. So that supporting spouses
the internal organs of the shining spouse in order for
them to shine the way that they do that internally
(10:12):
has to those those things got to be tuned correctly,
and that is that tuning is done in private, that
tuning is done behind the scenes, that tuning is done
before they get on the stage.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
I'm gonna sound like, you know, what you're talking about it.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And security and then and then the other the other
person that's not out front in the moment, has to provide,
have to be secure. Ye know who they are, who
they function, and what is You can't be insecure, You
can't be insecure.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
All right, We're gonna come back and talk about legacy,
marriages on mission create legacy. And you know, do you
believe your marriage was created to accomplish beyond raising children?
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yes, talk about that.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's relationship talk Thursday with the Power Couple, Pastors Demone
and Erica Glynn, and we're talking about marriage as a
mission and also want to talk about our legacy.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
You know, we have I have children, I have two children.
You all have how many children together?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Three?
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Three children? Three children?
Speaker 3 (11:20):
This question came through what do you believe your marriage
was created to accomplish beyond raising children?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I think people think that multiply is pro create and
that's being that's all we're going to get together to
have children. And everybody don't even want children, and everybody
don't even have children.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
But your marriage is made for so much more. You know,
your marriage is made.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Yes, you want to put good humans out into the
world that contribute to society. But your marriage is made
for so much more. Your marriage is made for each other,
for to accomplish something beyond just pro creation, but for multiplication,
for a dominion, for subduing, for you know, working together,
(12:04):
for collaboration, for partnership, for fellowship, for you know, so
much more. You get to decide the mission of your marriage.
And if people refocus to decide, yo, what do we
want to do together? You know, what do we want
to do. We want to travel the world together. We
want to make some money together, we want to leave
some money, we want to be philanthropists, we want to
(12:26):
you know, whatever that is that you want to.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Do, you can do it.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Because if two people touching degree is touching anything, it
shall be established. People use that for prayer, but they
don't use that for their for their marriage.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, and I think it's a marriag.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
I think also, you know, when you're talking about multiplying
and legacy, you know, because you you live long enough,
your marriage will go through different seasons, you know what
I'm saying. So like if you are if you do
have children, and then what that looks like with elementary
children and in middle school and high school and then
becoming empty nesters. And then now if you haven't made
(13:03):
your marriage and your mission was your children, then now
you're like, who are you?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
And what are you still doing here?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
You know what I'm saying, And now you have to
discover marriage that if you would have just made your
marriage your mission, when your seasons of your marriage come
in and out, you would have still been able to
be sustainable in your marriage and not look at this
person after ten, fifteen, twenty years and say.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Who are you?
Speaker 5 (13:31):
You wouldn't you wouldn't have to ask that question, or
you would be asking that question because you've been asking
that question all these years. So I just think that
when people realize the mission of the of their marriage
and you know it it, great things come out of it.
But at the end of the day, our mission is
unto each other. Because this is the foundation, this is
(13:51):
the this is the place that our children are going
to reflect back on, this is where our grandchildren reflect
back on. Or this is the big business that we
have set up. The people that come through our business
that we have to handle, they're going to know who
we are and how what kind of bosses we are
to them. You know, all of the different projects and
books and legacy things that you leave on this earth
(14:13):
when you're gone. What did you do as a couple
that you were not able to do by yourself? And
just to give people the hope and to be the
example that this too, if we're in a difficult place,
shall pass because we got more to do. But when
that mission is it, if it's not in the forefront,
it makes it very cloudy and muddy to get through
(14:34):
some difficult times. But when you know what your mission is,
you're clear your focus and that's where you're heading to
where always?
Speaker 3 (14:40):
So, what if you did like your children like you
gave a lot of your attention to that, and now
that your children are grown and gone, yep, and you're
trying to figure this thing out?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
What is the step that somebody can take?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, you go back to the anniversary episode a couple
weeks ago and you refocus.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Yeah, exactly, and say where are we?
Speaker 2 (15:02):
Okay, that's great, we get a good job. Good job?
What you want?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Because I know you want something right now? What you
want in this phase of life? How do you know?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
What does that look like? You reimagine what.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
Does that bedroom is? Going to become an exercise room
that our kids like you do like you, and and
and I think sometimes you know children, they feel a
certain kind of way, like why you turn my bedroom
into an excellent because this is what your father wanted
or this is what your mother wanted. And we're married,
this is our house exactly, and you're gonna feel a
certain kind of way. And you're gonna be okay because
(15:36):
you felt that way when we told you get out
our bed.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
It's okay.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
You're gonna be all right, because this is our marriage
and this is the mission. This is our mission is
to be together. Our mission is to figure out what
we're supposed to do. Now that you're gonna go live
your life. We've got to live our lives without you
in a sense, and you were the main thing and
now we've got to reevalue what that looks like so
we can stay married, all right.
