Mom, how do you feel about thefiancé?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
He's amazing.

He definitely comes alongside her and lifts her up
and wants her to be the bestversion of herself.
That's pretty good, and he ishis morals and his ethics and
everything.
He just really is everythingthat I've prayed for, that my
daughter would ever have.
You know that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I mean you hear parents often say, oh yeah, it's
great and they love each other.
But I don't know, there's kindof some passion in your voice
and that counts for a lot.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
So when I was very young, when I was about 18, I
was told I would never havechildren.
So when I was very young, whenI was about 18, I was told I
would never have children.
And so after I had multiple,multiple doctors tell me that I
would never have children, Iused to pray that one day I
would have a daughter.
And so I prayed, and prayed,and prayed, and prayed that I
would have children.
I would be just to be able tohave children in general.
(02:41):
And so when I named her Emmathe Hebrew translation of Emma
is answer to prayer and then,after I had her, I used to pray
that I would have a daughter whowould marry someone who would
be a follower of Christ.
Because we were very, webelieve in Jesus and we believe
(03:03):
in all the things that come withthat.
And his name is Christian andthe literal Hebrew translation
of Christian is follower ofChrist.
I really just feel in my heartof hearts that he is an answer
to prayer.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That is a great setup .
I like that.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
It is.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I kind of apologize for cursing it's okay, don't
worry, we do too.
I'm going to say that's underthe Tower of Babel cursing.
If you're religious, we do tooI'm gonna say that's under the
tower of babel and we'll justhave to deal with it the tower.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
You know your old testament history we're a
multi-denominational family.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I got it all.
So I'm doing a good job by notbringing a bridezilla okay so
all good things, you know, Ithink with the state of the way
that the world is right now.
It's nice to hear somethinglike that.
That's positive and that's cool, Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Good luck to you.
So her end goal is to be whatis becoming now known as a trad
wife.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Is a flashback to the 50s, essentially, if you will.
She wants to work for the firstcouple years out of college,
but her ideal goal is she wantsto have five children.
She wants to stay home with herchildren and teach them right
from wrong.

I'd like that.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
But here's the thing you would have to work and your
okay, wait so it's a.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's really just a roll back to the 1950s think
about leave it to beaver, soconfused the cleavers I can like
, I can do it, but I still themoney.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But your wife would stay home with the kids and like
teach them and it would behomeschool no, I want to stay
like, have your own, like hewants me to want to stay home.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
I want to be a trad dad.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
I want to be at home you can maybe be like a rad dad
and like be really cool andreally awesome yeah, that's not
going to work but, like you,need to bring some income to the
family well, I can do that, youknow like.
I hate to break it to you, butyou need to be the provider yeah
, so they can.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
They're kind of rolling back to the old
tradition.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Okay, I like it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Yeah.
I want some chickens, I want acow I like, want to be able to
provide my own milk, my own eggs, my own meat and, like he can
like, kill the cow and, you know, cut it up the right way for
some ribeyes or whatever.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I don't know.
Marriage is all aboutcompromise and 50-50.
You gotta get your hands dirtyon that one.
Mom take pictures of that it'sgotta happen.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Like maybe I can drain the cow and he can do the
cutting.
How?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
charming but like I can deal with the chicken eggs.
We go back to Leviticus wherewe gotta hand wash the entrails.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
You know.
But yeah, I wanna to likehomeschool my kids and be very I
don't really necessarily knowif I want them to go to public
school, just because that's alot and they would learn a lot
about today's society, which Idon't want to say I don't
(06:12):
disagree with with but I kind ofwant to shield them for just a
little bit well, I think there's.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
There's something to be said about providing a box
that you want them to kind ofget their knowledge from, and
then from there they can branchout and be free thinking and
free will and all that stuffyeah, you know, just hope you
want to Clyde's okay.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I think it was very interesting for me to hear the
other perspective, because I'llgive you my hometown that is not
.
Dc is very Christian based, andI've never, thought of anything
yeah than that.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
It was a good perspective shift.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Which is important for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Agreed a thousand percent.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
We all believe what we believe, but we can't live in
a bubble either.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
