We address a listener's heartfelt concern about regretting their marriage after just four months. With insights drawn from real-life scenarios, we'll offer practical advice on navigating early marital challenges while keeping the conversation light with some banter about Alabama football and chocolate.
Ever wondered how kids react to their parents' PDA? We share amusing anecdotes from families, focusing on two kids, Cash and Elke, whose contrasting reactions provide a window into the complexities of parenting. We then shift to the everyday struggles of a stay-at-home mom who feels overwhelmed by the discipline and organization of her household. By contrasting her structured approach with her husband's laid-back style, we emphasize the need for flexibility and understanding in co-parenting, offering tips to harmonize differing parenting philosophies.
Finally, we dive into the topic of spiritual leadership within the family, addressing a listener's feelings of inadequacy compared to his wife. Through practical advice, such as initiating joint Bible studies and engaging in fun spiritual activities, we aim to demystify spiritual leadership and promote mutual support. We also caution against the pitfalls of workplace romance, sharing a heartfelt plea to a daughter about the potential consequences of dating a coworker. Wrapping up with humor and heartfelt reflections, this episode is packed with advice aimed at fostering stronger relationships and personal growth.

It's crazy and who doesn't wantto make a little money?
Not only are you helpingsupport a great company, you're
going to look good and you'resaving yourself some money, but
I got a Q&A for you tonight,okay, so we're going to run
through.
Some of these things Are youready?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You think I'm going to laugh loud enough.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
To wake up our kids?
No, you most certainly won't.
I don't think.
All right, first one Are youready?
Need some advice?
My wife and I got married afterfive years of dating and I'm
starting to think it was amistake.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
This is not going to go the direction you may
necessarily think on the outset.
I, 35-year-old male, is marriedto his wife, who is 28.
They've been married for onlyfour months.
We dated for five years beforewe got married.
Honestly, I never really wantedto get married that much.
I saw what marriage did topeople and, having been a child
of divorce, I never wanted thatfor myself.
We both did couples counselingbefore we got married so we
(05:21):
could work on any issues we hadboth personally and with each
other prior to marriage.
That's good.
The first two months were great.
Being in that honeymoon period,things started to go downhill
pretty quickly.
We always made around the sameamount of money, splitting bills
evenly, along with the dailychores.
Here's where things getsideways.
Where I think things went wrongis when she got a promotion at
(05:44):
work and pulled way ahead of mefinancially.
Now you're going to think, okay, he's emasculated, he's not
making enough money.
It's not necessarily where it'sgoing.
She can afford to do things thatI cannot do.
She wants to travel more, taketrips with me, but expects me to
pay my way.
Keep in mind they're married.
(06:05):
The more I tell her I justcan't.
She starts to resent me Everytime we get into an argument she
says things that are reallyhurtful.
She now says things like be aman and make more money.
Your wife shouldn't out earnyou.
She does not want to havechildren with me until I'm
matching her income.
She no longer wants to combinefinances out as well.
(06:25):
This fighting has nearly killedour marriage.
But what hurts the most is thatI am the one who really
encouraged her to go after thepromotion.
She's very career oriented andI thought this would help her in
her career with a higherposition.
Little did I know this wouldshift a power dynamic in our
marriage.
Before we were equals, but now,as soon as she started making
more money, she no longer seesthat way.
(06:47):
I do not know what to do.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I wish you'd have prepped me for this in a little
way.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh boy, you don't like being prepped.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
But I didn't expect my blood to start boiling this
late at night so how?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
how fresh are you more frustrated with him?
Are you frustrated?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I'm pissed off at her what the heck?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
all right, first off, for me, finances have to be
together.
This whole paying your own way.
Give me a freaking break.
What's mine?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
to become one.
You become one that you dingbagTwo become one.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's including your finances that become one.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
That's the whole shebang.
That's not just hey, we can betogether, but you can't have my
money.
God, I'm going to give you mymarriage, but you can't have my
career.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Exactly, and that's the problem.
So now she resents him becauseshe makes more.
He pushed her for the promotion.
Right Pushed her for thepromotion.
Right Pushed her and said, hey,this will be good for you, this
is good for your career.
Probably so happy for her whenshe got the promotion, but now,
because she makes more, sheresents him because she's
telling him to be a man and makemore money.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
That right, there is what pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Totally.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But do you know why it pisses me off?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
tell me why?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
because women have fought all all these years to
have equality and equal rights,and women don't get paid as much
as men.
And when you finally make thebank and it's your money the man
has been paying for you for howlong, and he was the one who
(08:25):
pushed you to get the promotion.
And now you get the promotion.
And now you're holier than thou.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yep, that's infuriating.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
She needs a reality check.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
She totally does.
My hope is that they can workthis out.
I hope she's listening.
The answer here is you must,you absolutely 100% must combine
your finances.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Why does it matter who makes more?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It's not who's paying .
I'm paying for this.
You're paying for this.
I'm paying for this.
You're paying for this.
No, we pay for this.
I don't care if one's makinghalf a million dollars, the
other one's making $30,000.
Together, you make $530,000 ayear.
That's what you make.
You're a couple, you'retogether.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It's all combined that's the answer, and she will
not have kids with him Untilthey make the same amount.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Let me tell you something about-.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Why does that?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
matter.
Let me tell you something aboutkids.
When you think I need to make Xamount of money before I can
afford a kid, You're never goingto be able to afford them.
Whenever you get there, I don'tcare if you're making $50,000,
you make it work with 50.
If you say I got to make$250,000, guess what?
You're still going to spendmore than you ever thought on
the kid.
That's just, that's a nature ofthe beast.
You have to learn to, to kind ofrealize responsible for this,
(09:41):
but you have to combine yourfinances here.
This is going to be a long,hard talk, dude.
I hope you get a promotion andyou would start to out out earn
her and I hope you make her paypay her you.
You go her way, you go to thecompletely wrong it is
completely wrong, but out ofspite, so that one's infuriating
, here's, here's number two.
Um says I got caught, this willbe fun.
(10:04):
So I was going into the livingroom to ask my husband if he'd
like to walk the dog with me.
He said sure, in a little bit,stop right there.
Okay, what.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I guess I've heard some guys you know do the thing
and they call it walking theirdog.
Oh my gosh.
Because, you said, they gotbusted.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
They were actually going to walk the dog.
So he said, sure, just in a bitI gave him a kiss.
One kiss turned into two, thento three, then to four, and the
next thing I know we are full ongoing at it.
It was amazing, okay okay andthen I heard mommy, daddy, we
(10:53):
got busted and we're mortified.
So they got caught.
I got caught having sex Kidsbusted them, which is very
common.
It happens.
It is very, very, very, verycommon.
I kind of looked this up when Isaw this.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I got to figure out how old the kids are.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I have no idea how old the kids are, but mommy,
daddy, I mean, they'redefinitely single digits.
They're definitely younger,have to be.
But I kind of looked into thisand just surveys and studies.
You know that could be off alittle bit, but it seems nearly
half of all couples get caughthaving sex by their children.
So what do you do in thatsituation?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
obviously you're terrified number one did they,
were they still in the act yeah,they were in the act.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, oh yeah, they're in the full on.
It was going on.
And then, mommy, daddy, sowhat's going on?
Number one you know be aware ofwhat's going on and where you
are.
Invest in a good lock for yourbedroom.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Or theirs or theirs.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Make sure it's locked , but if you do get caught, I
mean it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
We have not.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
We have not been caught.
We take the precautions to makesure that doesn't happen.
But, but a lot of people doHowever.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't know, I really don't know what we would
do if we got caught.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Mommy, we were, just, we were stretching.
Mommy and Dad are wrestling.
Yes, we're stretching, mommyand Dad are wrestling?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yes, I've heard that one being used, but if, how do
you?
I don't know if we'd be able tocontinue.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
No, no, no, I would not be able to.
It would be dead right there,it would be done.
You can't keep going after that.
You can't come back from that.
Come on, there's no way done.
It's just what.
You can't keep going after that.
You can't come back from that.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Come on, there's no way I feel like that's no
different than your parents kindof walking in on you well, yeah
, in a way but like but I wouldsay what do I do?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
if you do, you shouldn't necessarily feel
guilty.
You're married adults now.
I know I know for us, you knowif the day ever comes.
We've been very upfront withour children about sex.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
We've talked to them about it.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
We still talk to them about it, we talk to them about
it often.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
If it comes up.
We're not shy about it, becausethey need to know what sex is.
They need to know everythingabout it.
They need to be able to learnfrom us and not learn from
anyone else and learn from theworld.
Sex is incredible, especiallywhen it is done, or really only
when it's done the way Godcreated it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Well, we also joke around.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Oh, very much so.
Like our daughter hates when wekiss.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
She can't even watch anyone, kiss.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
No, she hates it.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
She's this.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
She just pretends.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
She's like no, no, and even in the mornings, when
that we're getting ready forschool and you leave earlier
than we do and you give me akiss bye, she covers her eyes
yes, she does now, when cash,when he would still want to.
He still would, but he wouldjust say he can't sleep.
(14:08):
He wants to sleep with mommyand daddy.
We would still give each othera good night, kiss totally cash
is completely opposite of elkie.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
He would push our faces together he would go he
thought it was funny, but it's,I mean, it's important, and so
you know, don't feel guiltyabout it.
It funny, but it's, I mean it'simportant, and so you know,
don't feel guilty about it, it'stotally natural, it's a great,
great thing.
But teach your kids about it.
Let them know why it'simportant, why mommy and daddy
do that, and make sure that theyunderstand what sex is for and
(14:40):
how it should be done, and thenthat way they can grow up to
really appreciate it and enjoythemselves, cause it's important
for married people to be ableto to have sex and experience
that.
But don't don't feel guiltyabout it.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I feel like you also have to let them know, if they
ever come upon a situation whenit's happening, especially you,
as their parents walk away.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Don't draw any attention to it, Don't stop what
you're doing, Unless I meanobviously it's an emergency.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, yes, clearly.
But, Sorry, urgency.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, yes, clearly, but sorry you shouldn't have
walked in now.
Close the door and lock it onyour way out makes me think of a
modern family, when all threekids walk in on feeling clear
when they're bringing on like ananniversary it was a breakfast
in bed for their anniversary orwhatever.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
yeah, totally, and they were, they were scared to
death.
An anniversary it was abreakfast in bed for their
anniversary or whatever.
Yeah, totally, and they were,they were scared to death.
And then the, the kids, boughtthem the lock and the lock was
super loud.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They could, they could hear it, but I don't, and
then, of course, when the doorit locks there.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Oh oh, gotta get out of here.
Not again it, but I I thoughtthat was, I don't know how we
would respond.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Um, I got caught, but I guess, if it happens, we'll
see.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Just be open with them.
Just be open.
Say hey, this, this is what itis, that's completely normal and
and natural.
Uh, your moms and dads shouldbe having sex yeah at the end of
the day they should.
Uh, this one, uh mom is angry.
I'm so angry as I type this outI feel worse than it may be
where I may feel worse than itactually is, but I feel that I
feel lately like I'm the one whomakes all the effort and the
(16:25):
marriage is one sided.
We have two kids who are twoand five.
I'm a stay at home mom on myand my husband is great.
Our kids love him, lovespending time with him.
He's fun, but I feel like theorganization and discipline
always comes from me.
The husband caves easily andlowers the bar constantly.
The main reason I'm upset todayis because of this.
(16:46):
My husband took my son toplaytime this morning from 10 to
12.
Now my son normally naps twohours in the day, between 1 and
3 and a bit earlier if needed.
I had an appointment thisafternoon so I asked my husband
to bring my son straight home atthe end so he can go down by
1230 for his nap and have a goodnap.
(17:07):
He's very grumpy if he doesn'thave a good nap.
My husband informs me he needsto swing by work to set up
tables for an event on his wayback, so it wasn't possible to
drop him off.
I was not informed of thisbefore this moment and I asked
if he could drop him off firstso he could go down.
My husband wasn't happy aboutit, said no, I'm just going to
take him with me to go set thisup.
(17:28):
I said I'm sorry that, um, thatyou have to go to work.
This is not my fault, but youneed to bring him down for the
nap, because if my son does notget the nap, he is going to be
upset.
I got up early.
I made sure my son had lunchand a whole snacks for playtime
to make sure the nap could behad at home as soon as possible.
(17:49):
Are you not just infuriatedwith this?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
For so many reasons.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I mean, if the kid doesn't get a nap, he's going to
be all right, he's going tosurvive.
And guess what?
Kid got to go hang out with dad, go do playtime with dad, and
now he gets to go to dad's workand hang out while dad does some
stuff.
And you know what, if he gets alittle later nap or if he skips
a nap altogether, I'm prettyconfident in saying he's going
(18:22):
to survive, he's going to live,it's going to be okay, the day
will go on, the sun will come uptomorrow and your son will be
there to enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay, it seems like they only have one child.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Almost.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And it's only hers.
That's exactly what it seemslike.
They only have one child Almost.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And it's only hers.
That's exactly what it seemslike.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
This is her kid, her kid, or she has two children,
the second being her husband,because she doesn't believe that
her husband can take care ofthe things.
If you are so infuriated withthe way things are going at home
because your husband lowers thebar and you are the one who
(19:07):
can't say no, or he's the onethat can't say no and you're the
, enforcer the disciplinarian.
This child is taking naps still.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, Five-year-old taking naps, which I mean I get
it.
Fine, they need a nap.
They need a nap, but they don'thave to nap every day.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I need naps some days .
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Jesus slept, he napped, he napped.
I follow Jesus.
That's great and everything.
But who cares?
He's out there with his dad,creating memories, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
First of all to bend over and find that stick that
shoved up her butt and pull itout.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Please, because it definitely is.
I mean, who cares?
The kid does not have to nap.
If you're so uptight about this, just imagine if you would just
let it go.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I would hate to be her coworkers.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Just let it go.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You are the one who seems to be way too uptight.
The enforcer I'm the enforcerin our house.
You give in.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh, I give in big time.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And I always know if you know that's the case, so
what?
You can't say no to me.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
No, I can't.
I have a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
You can't say no to me.
No, I can't.
I have a problem with that.
You can't say no to our kids.
If you know that's a thing andit's a problem for you, maybe
you should talk to your husband.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, I know.
Just at the end of the day yourhusband's got the kid.
He's going to be fine.
You have an appointment in theafternoon.
Your husband's going to bethere with him.
Let him deal with it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Obviously he didn't work.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's not that big of a deal Enough.
Loosen the reins.
If you're going during the dayto a play place and remove the
giant stick from your rear end.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
We're going to lose some listeners?
Well, that was you asked.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'm sorry You've said it before.
Sometimes we got to have ourtoes stepped on just a little
bit.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
All right, If it offended you.
Maybe you needed it.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Probably so this one.
My husband and I have beenmarried for 10 years.
We have three children.
He's a wonderful person.
When we met I was not Christianat all, not a conservative at
all, but over time that young,liberal, woke, anti-religious
mind frame has completelyswitched.
When we started having kids, Istarted waking up to things and
(21:26):
couldn't stop reading andgetting information that led me
to a path straight to Jesus andto God.
My children are homeschooledand I'm trying to make it a part
of our teachings as well.
We belong to a religioushomeschool community and,
although it throws my husbandoff a bit, he is supportive.
I do recognize that I am theonly one that has changed my
current views and beliefs andare not what he married, and I
(21:47):
know that.
I pray he finds God and I feellike I am deeply longing for a
God-fearing partner that sharesfaith with our children and
myself.
We do not necessarily belong toa church, but I want our family
as a whole to be in churchevery single Sunday Our children
are in Sunday school and forhim and myself to have that
community, how can I ask him toexplore Christianity with me?
(22:09):
Is there anything I can do tohelp push him to that?
Does he have a chance to turnto God as well?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yes, yes and yes, totally yes, yes and yes.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Totally.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
First of all, were they.
Maybe I misunderstood what shewas saying.
I thought she was the only onein the relationship that did not
have Like she didn't believe,like she didn't have faith.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Neither one of them had faith.
They were both just completely,totally against it.
And then she growing up havingkids.
I get it, we've been there shefound Jesus and her husband has
not yet and she desperatelywants that to happen and is
afraid that it can't Now itsounds like he's been supportive
of it.
He's not totally anti, so Iwould.
(22:55):
I absolutely.
There's a chance.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Pray.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Pray, pray, pray, pray.
Now I know men are called to bethe spiritual leaders of the
house, but sometimes the wifehas to start to lead, and that's
all you can do.
Lead in everything you do, be awoman of God in everything that
you do, pray for him, love him,support him, encourage him, but
(23:18):
continue to chase after jesusin all you do, and absolutely he
most certainly can catch upthere's always one other thing
that you can totally try andwhat's that?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
guilt trip.
Make the kids ask oh, listen,that's.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's one of the biggest things.
Um, when the kids are in churchand enjoy it, the parents are
so more likely to get completelyinvolved and completely plugged
in.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Well, in everything Disney, parents don't
necessarily want to go to Disney.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
No, not most.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
They do because why their kid wants them to.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yes, kid wants them to.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Most kids growing up, especially boys, like wrestling
.
They really get into WWE.
Parents really don't care.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
But the kids love it, so who has to buy the tickets
to go see them?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Mom and dad who has?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
to buy the network stuff to be able for them to
watch it.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Mom and dad who's going to buy all of the action,
action figures and all theshirts and all of the clothes.
Just saying I mean the parentswill.
We'll continue to do that for,for the children, but I
absolutely if, if, if you foundJesus and he's completely
changed your life and you wereonce, that way can happen for
(24:39):
him too.
Yep, can happen for anybody.
This next one I feel like mywife is ahead of me spiritually
and it makes me feel like a weakleader.
I feel like my wife is ahead ofme.
She has more time to go toBible studies, has verses
memorized.
I feel like I just can't cause.
My memory is so bad.
Even when I read the Bible overand over, I can't remember
anything I read.
It's very frustrating.
(25:00):
I feel like I just can'tbecause my memory is so bad.
Even when I read the Bible overand over, I can't remember
anything I read.
It's very frustrating.
I feel like she participates inmore things and sets up
Christian-style games for thekids things I wouldn't even
think of.
I feel she struggles with lesssin than I do and just has it
more together day to day in life.
The saddest part is I was savedbefore her.
I feel like an awful leader andI keep failing at doing
(25:22):
Christ-like things that I shouldbe, such as controlling my
anger, resentments, emotions,just leading us properly, and I
so badly want to.
I feel like I'm never going tobecome the man that she can look
up to or depend on, because I'mso far behind I don't even know
where to begin anymore.
I feel like she looks at melike a failure and thinks I
should have all my stufftogether.
(25:44):
She has said it before andwishes that I could get it.
I don't want to be.
I don't want anything negative,but I just want to be the man
I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I like this guy Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Because I like this guy Okay.
Because no one has ever toldhim that leading all of those
groups organizing Bible studiesand learning all the verses is
not how you get into heaven.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's true.
You know more Bible verses thanI do.
And I've been in church waylonger than you.
The amount of things that Iforgot.
And you will go and ask, hey, Ineed this for this and it's for
a message Sunday, and then I'llthink about it and I'll go well
, what about the story of blahblah?
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But I don't remember that stuff until it's provoked.
I guess yes totally.
But that's not doing all thosethings are great.
Good for her.
But, if she's looking down onyou because you don't know Bible
verses and you are human andlose control of your temper
sometimes, how Christian is that?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I mean Jesus flipped tables.
He got pissed.
He flipped some tables.
Now listen, no, that's not whatgets you into heaven.
Now, memorizing scripture,reading the Bible, all that
stuff on a consistent basis, Imean it's good for you, it helps
develop your relationship withJesus, brings you closer
together.
But you're right, I mean that'snot how you get into heaven.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Did you say fly on your shoulder?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
There's the fly You're supposed to grab it.
I don't have reflexes like thatanymore.
Are you kidding me?
I can't do that.
I used to be able to catchflies Just like flop.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Our son can.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, I know If I was in his sleep right now.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I'd get him to do it.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I don't have those reflexes in me at all anymore.
Squirrel Not squirrel, fly, fly.
But yeah, I mean this guy.
I had the conversation withyour wife.
Tell her like hey, look, thisis how I feel, this is what's
going on.
Hey, can you help me?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
If you think I should be better, why don't you help
me?
Because God made woman as ahelper, not a I'm going to look
down on my husband person.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I mean, how about a hey beautiful, can we do a Bible
study together?
Hey, I found this 10-daydevotional on the Bible app.
Can we do this together?
Start doing stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Instead of organizing things for everybody else, why
don't you organize something foryou and your husband?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yes, but the fact that this is on your mind, I
mean, it's a good thing thatthis is on your mind and you
want to be better.
Most men don't.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, Most men are like .
She can have her church stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
That's perfectly fine .
I'm going to do me.
I don't see the need in it.
I'm a man, I don't need allthat, and that's the typical man
response.
So I mean good for you, but I,you know, can just continue.
Talk to God, pray about it, buttalk to your wife about it.
Try to try to initiate that.
Initiate a Bible study,initiate a talk of a story in
(28:51):
the Bible, initiate somethingwith her that goes along those
lines and crap that can help,that can help you get there.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Give her Bible trivia and see if she can really have
the answers.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Bible trivia champion of the world.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That's my dear.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
That is absolutely my dear.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
But hey, that's a great way to.
Is she really as smart as youthink she is, don't like?
Oh well, I thought you knewthis, but it will help you.
You're doing your research onit.
You're finding out if shereally knows as much as she says
she knows which I mean, maybeit humbles her just a little bit
(29:29):
.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
But yeah, as with anything in a marriage, no
matter what it is man, you gottatalk to her.
At least see them say hey, thisis what I'm feeling, this is
what's up, this is what I'mfeeling, this is what's going on
.
You know, go, go, go memorizesome stuff, and just go memorize
some obscure scripture and thenthrow that on like leviticus 17
(29:51):
, 12 through 14.
Here you go, baby, somethinglike that, what you know.
If that's what gets her going,man, hey, maybe, maybe this
would be good for you all.
Right, last one, uh, to to getyou really fired up before we
get out of here.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Are you ready doing this?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
so at work.
This is a dude.
I get along with this womanwell.
We're in different departmentsso I don't see her all the time.
We agreed to have lunch and seta date for it.
Already.
I'm the one that suggested thatmaybe we grab lunch one day,
since we talk, since we talkduring work.
She said yes.
Now I ask about this because myfriends say a one-on-one lunch
(30:33):
date will not end.
Well, none of them say thatit's okay.
I believe that it is with banaltrees.
I told my wife about this andshe is totally okay with it too,
to my surprise, because shetrusts me.
I trust myself as well, but I'mnot sure what this woman's
thoughts are.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
(30:55):
There were times where her textsshow so much expression for
something for so little Like.
When I bring back a souvenirfrom vacation and tell her that
I got her something, sheresponds like oh my gosh.
Yes, that's amazing.
She didn't even know what itwas.
There are other texts from herthat show the same level of
emotion.
She's usually quiet andreserved.
Do a lot of girls text likethis?
(31:16):
Because my wife doesn't?
Some of my other few femalefriends don't.
She also likes every single oneof my Instagram posts and
stories.
That day, when I mentioned toher that maybe we grab lunch one
day, I told her that I will lether know.
But a couple hours later shetexted me asking if I took my
lunch yet I was in a meeting soI had to decline, and she
responded well, I'm going to gohave lunch now.
(31:37):
Tee hee, hee, hee.
I can't tell what that'ssupposed to mean.
She may have just wanted tograb lunch and thank me for
getting the stuff from vacation.
She started responding slowlyafter that, but we did
reschedule for a new date.
Now I'm thinking maybe Ishouldn't have done this.
I don't know what to think ofit.
I don't know if I need tocancel, but that may create a
(31:58):
misunderstanding.
Maybe I'm overthinking.
It.
Is lunch with a coworker of theopposite sex while married
acceptable?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
No, nor is you texting her, nor is it asking
your wife, nor is it textingyour other female friends.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
No, no, no.
This is a date.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You've been hit in the head.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
This is a date.
You and a female coworker aregoing to lunch together,
one-on-one.
This is 100%, completely a date.
It's a date.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Stop living your double life.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yes, I don't care if you say your wife is okay with
your.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Wife ain't okay with it listen to this, because if
wait, if she's okay with it.
She's already doing that withher uh male work co-workers I'm
saying let's flip the script fora second.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
So you, your wife, comes to you and says hey,
johnny ripple pecks fromaccounting invited me to lunch
and he and I are going to startgoing to lunch together Now as
the husband, your wife, say hey,johnny, and you met Johnny
ripple pecks.
Dude's tall, he's handsome, hehas great hair, his name is
ripple pecks.
You know, yeah, are you goingto be cool with your wife, who
(33:19):
you adore and you think isincredible, going to lunch
one-on-one with johnny ripplepecks texting you know he, he,
he, ha ha ha, cute, flirty are.
Are you okay with that?
As a man, are you okay withthat?
The answer is absolutely no.
Not in a billion years.
Are you okay with this?
So your wife's not okay withthis.
(33:40):
This is a terrible, terribleidea.
This is a date.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
It is a straight up date and that's why your friends
, your male friends, have saidno, this is not going to end
well no, it's a bad idea and Idon't you know, her intentions
may be completely different.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Her intentions may be like oh yeah, I really like
this guy.
I know he's married, but he'sshown an interest and he texts
me and we share these momentsand maybe this could lead to
something, because I'm notgetting something at home.
This is a date and this is a.
This is a bad, awful, terribleidea.
It will not end well.
I mean, I know you're indifferent departments, so what
(34:17):
are you going to lunch for?
It's not like you're working ona project together.
And if you were working on aproject together, those things
need to go into the conferenceroom.
And even if it's just you two,you stay at work and work on
that and it chances are,projects not.
And if you do want to go tolunch and talk about the project
, absolutely.
You two go to lunch, but bringeveryone else who's on the
(34:39):
project with you as well If it'swork related.
But this clearly is not Dude.
You're dating this woman fromwork or you're wanting to date
her.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
You need to end it.
You bring her souvenirs back.
From who does that?
I don't even bring anybody'ssouvenirs back from anywhere.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
If you're bringing a coworker souvenirs back, guess
what.
That fly really likes yourmicrophone, loves my microphone
you need to bring the wholeoffice souvenirs back.
Yeah, not just michael scottdid, michael scott always did.
He brought candy he evenbrought the big, big little, the
drum, the thing back the steeldrum when he and jan went to
jamaica and he sent the pictureof her topless.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
It's so gross it's like your microphone's in
elephant's eye and it wants theGone no it's not Sorry for
everyone who had to hear that.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Well, there's a fly floating around and it's driving
us insane, so with that beingsaid, why the garage door was
left open.
Thanks our daughter.
You got to stop dating yourcoworker man.
Thanks our daughter.
You gotta stop dating yourco-worker man.
You don't think it's a date?
It's truly a date.
It's definitely a date.
Stop dating your co-worker.
It's going to end badly.
This is a terrible, terribleidea.
I can imagine you coming to meand say, hey, mr Teacher, from
(35:50):
across the hall, he and I aregoing to start having lunch
together.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Then I'm old enough to be his mother.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yes, that's.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Disgusting.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
It's a bad analogy.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
Either way.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Still it's a bad idea .
Don't do it so late night Q&Adone.
Any final thoughts?
Any thoughts for these?
Speaker 1 (36:08):
people, we can't do this again.
You've got my blood boiling.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
I'm not going to go to bed.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
How about a good TV show to finish off the night?
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I'm probably going to get irritated because it's the
last episode and I won't likethe outcome.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
You're probably right .
I could throw on friends or theoffice that that takes care of
it every single time.
All right, well, let's get outof here.
All right, let's go.
Lord, we love you, we are sothankful for what you are doing,

If they need something to beable to correct in their own
life, give it to them.
I just pray anyone who hearsthis will hear directly from you
, because you are the creator ofit all and we just want to
follow the
here's a question for you is marriage overrated?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
why aren't people getting married anymore?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
a new pew research poll found that two and five
young adults think marriage isan outdated tradition marriage
rates are at their lowest rightnow.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Is marriage really even worth it?
More than half of marriages endin divorce.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
If you get married, you have to be stuck with this
person for the rest of your life, right?
That's why you get married.
So that's why it's declining.
Why would you get married ifyou?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
don't.
If you want to have just onepartner when you can have
multiple Marriage is stupid.

Not only are you helpingsupport a great company, you're
going to look good and you'resaving yourself some money, but
I got a Q&A for you tonight,okay, so we're going to run
through.
Some of these things Are youready?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
You think I'm going to laugh loud enough.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
To wake up our kids?
No, you most certainly won't.
I don't think.
All right, first one Are youready?
Need some advice?
My wife and I got married afterfive years of dating and I'm
starting to think it was amistake.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Oh my.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
This is not going to go the direction you may
necessarily think on the outset.
I, 35-year-old male, is marriedto his wife, who is 28.
They've been married for onlyfour months.
We dated for five years beforewe got married.
Honestly, I never really wantedto get married that much.
I saw what marriage did topeople and, having been a child
of divorce, I never wanted thatfor myself.
We both did couples counselingbefore we got married so we
(05:21):
could work on any issues we hadboth personally and with each
other prior to marriage.
That's good.
The first two months were great.
Being in that honeymoon period,things started to go downhill
pretty quickly.
We always made around the sameamount of money, splitting bills
evenly, along with the dailychores.
Here's where things getsideways.
Where I think things went wrongis when she got a promotion at
(05:44):
work and pulled way ahead of mefinancially.
Now you're going to think, okay, he's emasculated, he's not
making enough money.
It's not necessarily where it'sgoing.
She can afford to do things thatI cannot do.
She wants to travel more, taketrips with me, but expects me to
pay my way.
Keep in mind they're married.
(06:05):
The more I tell her I justcan't.
She starts to resent me Everytime we get into an argument she
says things that are reallyhurtful.
She now says things like be aman and make more money.
Your wife shouldn't out earnyou.
She does not want to havechildren with me until I'm
matching her income.
She no longer wants to combinefinances out as well.
(06:25):
This fighting has nearly killedour marriage.
But what hurts the most is thatI am the one who really
encouraged her to go after thepromotion.
She's very career oriented andI thought this would help her in
her career with a higherposition.
Little did I know this wouldshift a power dynamic in our
marriage.
Before we were equals, but now,as soon as she started making
more money, she no longer seesthat way.
(06:47):
I do not know what to do.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I wish you'd have prepped me for this in a little
way.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh boy, you don't like being prepped.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
But I didn't expect my blood to start boiling this
late at night so how?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
how fresh are you more frustrated with him?
Are you frustrated?
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I'm pissed off at her what the heck?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
all right, first off, for me, finances have to be
together.
This whole paying your own way.
Give me a freaking break.
What's mine?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
to become one.
You become one that you dingbagTwo become one.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's including your finances that become one.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
That's the whole shebang.
That's not just hey, we can betogether, but you can't have my
money.
God, I'm going to give you mymarriage, but you can't have my
career.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Exactly, and that's the problem.
So now she resents him becauseshe makes more.
He pushed her for the promotion.
Right Pushed her for thepromotion.
Right Pushed her and said, hey,this will be good for you, this
is good for your career.
Probably so happy for her whenshe got the promotion, but now,
because she makes more, sheresents him because she's
telling him to be a man and makemore money.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
That right, there is what pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Totally.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
But do you know why it pisses me off?
Speaker 2 (08:03):
tell me why?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
because women have fought all all these years to
have equality and equal rights,and women don't get paid as much
as men.
And when you finally make thebank and it's your money the man
has been paying for you for howlong, and he was the one who
(08:25):
pushed you to get the promotion.
And now you get the promotion.
And now you're holier than thou.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yep, that's infuriating.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
She needs a reality check.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
She totally does.
My hope is that they can workthis out.
I hope she's listening.
The answer here is you must,you absolutely 100% must combine
your finances.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Why does it matter who makes more?
Speaker 2 (08:52):
It's not who's paying .
I'm paying for this.
You're paying for this.
I'm paying for this.
You're paying for this.
No, we pay for this.
I don't care if one's makinghalf a million dollars, the
other one's making $30,000.
Together, you make $530,000 ayear.
That's what you make.
You're a couple, you'retogether.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It's all combined that's the answer, and she will
not have kids with him Untilthey make the same amount.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Let me tell you something about-.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Why does that?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
matter.
Let me tell you something aboutkids.
When you think I need to make Xamount of money before I can
afford a kid, You're never goingto be able to afford them.
Whenever you get there, I don'tcare if you're making $50,000,
you make it work with 50.
If you say I got to make$250,000, guess what?
You're still going to spendmore than you ever thought on
the kid.
That's just, that's a nature ofthe beast.
You have to learn to, to kind ofrealize responsible for this,
(09:41):
but you have to combine yourfinances here.
This is going to be a long,hard talk, dude.
I hope you get a promotion andyou would start to out out earn
her and I hope you make her paypay her you.
You go her way, you go to thecompletely wrong it is
completely wrong, but out ofspite, so that one's infuriating
, here's, here's number two.
Um says I got caught, this willbe fun.
(10:04):
So I was going into the livingroom to ask my husband if he'd
like to walk the dog with me.
He said sure, in a little bit,stop right there.
Okay, what.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I guess I've heard some guys you know do the thing
and they call it walking theirdog.
Oh my gosh.
Because, you said, they gotbusted.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
They were actually going to walk the dog.
So he said, sure, just in a bitI gave him a kiss.
One kiss turned into two, thento three, then to four, and the
next thing I know we are full ongoing at it.
It was amazing, okay okay andthen I heard mommy, daddy, we
(10:53):
got busted and we're mortified.
So they got caught.
I got caught having sex Kidsbusted them, which is very
common.
It happens.
It is very, very, very, verycommon.
I kind of looked this up when Isaw this.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I got to figure out how old the kids are.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
I have no idea how old the kids are, but mommy,
daddy, I mean, they'redefinitely single digits.
They're definitely younger,have to be.
But I kind of looked into thisand just surveys and studies.
You know that could be off alittle bit, but it seems nearly
half of all couples get caughthaving sex by their children.
So what do you do in thatsituation?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
obviously you're terrified number one did they,
were they still in the act yeah,they were in the act.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, oh yeah, they're in the full on.
It was going on.
And then, mommy, daddy, sowhat's going on?
Number one you know be aware ofwhat's going on and where you
are.
Invest in a good lock for yourbedroom.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Or theirs or theirs.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Make sure it's locked , but if you do get caught, I
mean it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
We have not.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
We have not been caught.
We take the precautions to makesure that doesn't happen.
But, but a lot of people doHowever.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I don't know, I really don't know what we would
do if we got caught.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Mommy, we were, just, we were stretching.
Mommy and Dad are wrestling.
Yes, we're stretching, mommyand Dad are wrestling?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yes, I've heard that one being used, but if, how do
you?
I don't know if we'd be able tocontinue.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
No, no, no, I would not be able to.
It would be dead right there,it would be done.
You can't keep going after that.
You can't come back from that.
Come on, there's no way done.
It's just what.
You can't keep going after that.
You can't come back from that.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Come on, there's no way I feel like that's no
different than your parents kindof walking in on you well, yeah
, in a way but like but I wouldsay what do I do?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
if you do, you shouldn't necessarily feel
guilty.
You're married adults now.
I know I know for us, you knowif the day ever comes.
We've been very upfront withour children about sex.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
We've talked to them about it.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
We still talk to them about it, we talk to them about
it often.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
If it comes up.
We're not shy about it, becausethey need to know what sex is.
They need to know everythingabout it.
They need to be able to learnfrom us and not learn from
anyone else and learn from theworld.
Sex is incredible, especiallywhen it is done, or really only
when it's done the way Godcreated it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Well, we also joke around.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Oh, very much so.
Like our daughter hates when wekiss.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
She can't even watch anyone, kiss.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
No, she hates it.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
She's this.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
She just pretends.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
She's like no, no, and even in the mornings, when
that we're getting ready forschool and you leave earlier
than we do and you give me akiss bye, she covers her eyes
yes, she does now, when cash,when he would still want to.
He still would, but he wouldjust say he can't sleep.
(14:08):
He wants to sleep with mommyand daddy.
We would still give each othera good night, kiss totally cash
is completely opposite of elkie.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
He would push our faces together he would go he
thought it was funny, but it's,I mean, it's important, and so
you know, don't feel guiltyabout it.
It funny, but it's, I mean it'simportant, and so you know,
don't feel guilty about it, it'stotally natural, it's a great,
great thing.
But teach your kids about it.
Let them know why it'simportant, why mommy and daddy
do that, and make sure that theyunderstand what sex is for and
(14:40):
how it should be done, and thenthat way they can grow up to
really appreciate it and enjoythemselves, cause it's important
for married people to be ableto to have sex and experience
that.
But don't don't feel guiltyabout it.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I feel like you also have to let them know, if they
ever come upon a situation whenit's happening, especially you,
as their parents walk away.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Don't draw any attention to it, Don't stop what
you're doing, Unless I meanobviously it's an emergency.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Well, yes, clearly.
But, Sorry, urgency.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Well, yes, clearly, but sorry you shouldn't have
walked in now.
Close the door and lock it onyour way out makes me think of a
modern family, when all threekids walk in on feeling clear
when they're bringing on like ananniversary it was a breakfast
in bed for their anniversary orwhatever.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
yeah, totally, and they were, they were scared to
death.
An anniversary it was abreakfast in bed for their
anniversary or whatever.
Yeah, totally, and they were,they were scared to death.
And then the, the kids, boughtthem the lock and the lock was
super loud.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
They could, they could hear it, but I don't, and
then, of course, when the doorit locks there.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Oh oh, gotta get out of here.
Not again it, but I I thoughtthat was, I don't know how we
would respond.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Um, I got caught, but I guess, if it happens, we'll
see.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Just be open with them.
Just be open.
Say hey, this, this is what itis, that's completely normal and
and natural.
Uh, your moms and dads shouldbe having sex yeah at the end of
the day they should.
Uh, this one, uh mom is angry.
I'm so angry as I type this outI feel worse than it may be
where I may feel worse than itactually is, but I feel that I
feel lately like I'm the one whomakes all the effort and the
(16:25):
marriage is one sided.
We have two kids who are twoand five.
I'm a stay at home mom on myand my husband is great.
Our kids love him, lovespending time with him.
He's fun, but I feel like theorganization and discipline
always comes from me.
The husband caves easily andlowers the bar constantly.
The main reason I'm upset todayis because of this.
(16:46):
My husband took my son toplaytime this morning from 10 to
12.
Now my son normally naps twohours in the day, between 1 and
3 and a bit earlier if needed.
I had an appointment thisafternoon so I asked my husband
to bring my son straight home atthe end so he can go down by
1230 for his nap and have a goodnap.
(17:07):
He's very grumpy if he doesn'thave a good nap.
My husband informs me he needsto swing by work to set up
tables for an event on his wayback, so it wasn't possible to
drop him off.
I was not informed of thisbefore this moment and I asked
if he could drop him off firstso he could go down.
My husband wasn't happy aboutit, said no, I'm just going to
take him with me to go set thisup.
(17:28):
I said I'm sorry that, um, thatyou have to go to work.
This is not my fault, but youneed to bring him down for the
nap, because if my son does notget the nap, he is going to be
upset.
I got up early.
I made sure my son had lunchand a whole snacks for playtime
to make sure the nap could behad at home as soon as possible.
(17:49):
Are you not just infuriatedwith this?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
For so many reasons.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
I mean, if the kid doesn't get a nap, he's going to
be all right, he's going tosurvive.
And guess what?
Kid got to go hang out with dad, go do playtime with dad, and
now he gets to go to dad's workand hang out while dad does some
stuff.
And you know what, if he gets alittle later nap or if he skips
a nap altogether, I'm prettyconfident in saying he's going
(18:22):
to survive, he's going to live,it's going to be okay, the day
will go on, the sun will come uptomorrow and your son will be
there to enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay, it seems like they only have one child.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Almost.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
And it's only hers.
That's exactly what it seemslike.
They only have one child Almost.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And it's only hers.
That's exactly what it seemslike.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
This is her kid, her kid, or she has two children,
the second being her husband,because she doesn't believe that
her husband can take care ofthe things.
If you are so infuriated withthe way things are going at home
because your husband lowers thebar and you are the one who
(19:07):
can't say no, or he's the onethat can't say no and you're the
, enforcer the disciplinarian.
This child is taking naps still.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Yeah, Five-year-old taking naps, which I mean I get
it.
Fine, they need a nap.
They need a nap, but they don'thave to nap every day.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I need naps some days .
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Jesus slept, he napped, he napped.
I follow Jesus.
That's great and everything.
But who cares?
He's out there with his dad,creating memories, okay.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
First of all to bend over and find that stick that
shoved up her butt and pull itout.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Please, because it definitely is.
I mean, who cares?
The kid does not have to nap.
If you're so uptight about this, just imagine if you would just
let it go.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I would hate to be her coworkers.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Just let it go.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
You are the one who seems to be way too uptight.
The enforcer I'm the enforcerin our house.
You give in.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
Oh, I give in big time.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
And I always know if you know that's the case, so
what?
You can't say no to me.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
No, I can't.
I have a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
You can't say no to me.
No, I can't.
I have a problem with that.
You can't say no to our kids.
If you know that's a thing andit's a problem for you, maybe
you should talk to your husband.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, I know.
Just at the end of the day yourhusband's got the kid.
He's going to be fine.
You have an appointment in theafternoon.
Your husband's going to bethere with him.
Let him deal with it.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Obviously he didn't work.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's not that big of a deal Enough.
Loosen the reins.
If you're going during the dayto a play place and remove the
giant stick from your rear end.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
We're going to lose some listeners?
Well, that was you asked.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I'm sorry You've said it before.
Sometimes we got to have ourtoes stepped on just a little
bit.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
All right, If it offended you.
Maybe you needed it.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Probably so this one.
My husband and I have beenmarried for 10 years.
We have three children.
He's a wonderful person.
When we met I was not Christianat all, not a conservative at
all, but over time that young,liberal, woke, anti-religious
mind frame has completelyswitched.
When we started having kids, Istarted waking up to things and
(21:26):
couldn't stop reading andgetting information that led me
to a path straight to Jesus andto God.
My children are homeschooledand I'm trying to make it a part
of our teachings as well.
We belong to a religioushomeschool community and,
although it throws my husbandoff a bit, he is supportive.
I do recognize that I am theonly one that has changed my
current views and beliefs andare not what he married, and I
(21:47):
know that.
I pray he finds God and I feellike I am deeply longing for a
God-fearing partner that sharesfaith with our children and
myself.
We do not necessarily belong toa church, but I want our family
as a whole to be in churchevery single Sunday Our children
are in Sunday school and forhim and myself to have that
community, how can I ask him toexplore Christianity with me?
(22:09):
Is there anything I can do tohelp push him to that?
Does he have a chance to turnto God as well?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yes, yes and yes, totally yes, yes and yes.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Totally.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
First of all, were they.
Maybe I misunderstood what shewas saying.
I thought she was the only onein the relationship that did not
have Like she didn't believe,like she didn't have faith.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Neither one of them had faith.
They were both just completely,totally against it.
And then she growing up havingkids.
I get it, we've been there shefound Jesus and her husband has
not yet and she desperatelywants that to happen and is
afraid that it can't Now itsounds like he's been supportive
of it.
He's not totally anti, so Iwould.
(22:55):
I absolutely.
There's a chance.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Pray.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Pray, pray, pray, pray.
Now I know men are called to bethe spiritual leaders of the
house, but sometimes the wifehas to start to lead, and that's
all you can do.
Lead in everything you do, be awoman of God in everything that
you do, pray for him, love him,support him, encourage him, but
(23:18):
continue to chase after jesusin all you do, and absolutely he
most certainly can catch upthere's always one other thing
that you can totally try andwhat's that?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
guilt trip.
Make the kids ask oh, listen,that's.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's one of the biggest things.
Um, when the kids are in churchand enjoy it, the parents are
so more likely to get completelyinvolved and completely plugged
in.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Well, in everything Disney, parents don't
necessarily want to go to Disney.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
No, not most.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
They do because why their kid wants them to.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yes, kid wants them to.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Most kids growing up, especially boys, like wrestling
.
They really get into WWE.
Parents really don't care.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
No.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
But the kids love it, so who has to buy the tickets
to go see them?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Mom and dad who has?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
to buy the network stuff to be able for them to
watch it.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Mom and dad who's going to buy all of the action,
action figures and all theshirts and all of the clothes.
Just saying I mean the parentswill.
We'll continue to do that for,for the children, but I
absolutely if, if, if you foundJesus and he's completely
changed your life and you wereonce, that way can happen for
(24:39):
him too.
Yep, can happen for anybody.
This next one I feel like mywife is ahead of me spiritually
and it makes me feel like a weakleader.
I feel like my wife is ahead ofme.
She has more time to go toBible studies, has verses
memorized.
I feel like I just can't cause.
My memory is so bad.
Even when I read the Bible overand over, I can't remember
anything I read.
It's very frustrating.
(25:00):
I feel like I just can'tbecause my memory is so bad.
Even when I read the Bible overand over, I can't remember
anything I read.
It's very frustrating.
I feel like she participates inmore things and sets up
Christian-style games for thekids things I wouldn't even
think of.
I feel she struggles with lesssin than I do and just has it
more together day to day in life.
The saddest part is I was savedbefore her.
I feel like an awful leader andI keep failing at doing
(25:22):
Christ-like things that I shouldbe, such as controlling my
anger, resentments, emotions,just leading us properly, and I
so badly want to.
I feel like I'm never going tobecome the man that she can look
up to or depend on, because I'mso far behind I don't even know
where to begin anymore.
I feel like she looks at melike a failure and thinks I
should have all my stufftogether.
(25:44):
She has said it before andwishes that I could get it.
I don't want to be.
I don't want anything negative,but I just want to be the man
I'm supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I like this guy Okay.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Because I like this guy Okay.
Because no one has ever toldhim that leading all of those
groups organizing Bible studiesand learning all the verses is
not how you get into heaven.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
That's true.
You know more Bible verses thanI do.
And I've been in church waylonger than you.
The amount of things that Iforgot.
And you will go and ask, hey, Ineed this for this and it's for
a message Sunday, and then I'llthink about it and I'll go well
, what about the story of blahblah?
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Oh yeah, that's perfect.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
But I don't remember that stuff until it's provoked.
I guess yes totally.
But that's not doing all thosethings are great.
Good for her.
But, if she's looking down onyou because you don't know Bible
verses and you are human andlose control of your temper
sometimes, how Christian is that?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I mean Jesus flipped tables.
He got pissed.
He flipped some tables.
Now listen, no, that's not whatgets you into heaven.
Now, memorizing scripture,reading the Bible, all that
stuff on a consistent basis, Imean it's good for you, it helps
develop your relationship withJesus, brings you closer
together.
But you're right, I mean that'snot how you get into heaven.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Did you say fly on your shoulder?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
There's the fly You're supposed to grab it.
I don't have reflexes like thatanymore.
Are you kidding me?
I can't do that.
I used to be able to catchflies Just like flop.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Our son can.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Yeah, I know If I was in his sleep right now.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I'd get him to do it.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
I don't have those reflexes in me at all anymore.
Squirrel Not squirrel, fly, fly.
But yeah, I mean this guy.
I had the conversation withyour wife.
Tell her like hey, look, thisis how I feel, this is what's
going on.
Hey, can you help me?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
If you think I should be better, why don't you help
me?
Because God made woman as ahelper, not a I'm going to look
down on my husband person.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
I mean, how about a hey beautiful, can we do a Bible
study together?
Hey, I found this 10-daydevotional on the Bible app.
Can we do this together?
Start doing stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Instead of organizing things for everybody else, why
don't you organize something foryou and your husband?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yes, but the fact that this is on your mind, I
mean, it's a good thing thatthis is on your mind and you
want to be better.
Most men don't.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
No, Most men are like .
She can have her church stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
That's perfectly fine .
I'm going to do me.
I don't see the need in it.
I'm a man, I don't need allthat, and that's the typical man
response.
So I mean good for you, but I,you know, can just continue.
Talk to God, pray about it, buttalk to your wife about it.
Try to try to initiate that.
Initiate a Bible study,initiate a talk of a story in
(28:51):
the Bible, initiate somethingwith her that goes along those
lines and crap that can help,that can help you get there.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Give her Bible trivia and see if she can really have
the answers.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Bible trivia champion of the world.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That's my dear.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
That is absolutely my dear.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
But hey, that's a great way to.
Is she really as smart as youthink she is, don't like?
Oh well, I thought you knewthis, but it will help you.
You're doing your research onit.
You're finding out if shereally knows as much as she says
she knows which I mean, maybeit humbles her just a little bit
(29:29):
.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
But yeah, as with anything in a marriage, no
matter what it is man, you gottatalk to her.
At least see them say hey, thisis what I'm feeling, this is
what's up, this is what I'mfeeling, this is what's going on
.
You know, go, go, go memorizesome stuff, and just go memorize
some obscure scripture and thenthrow that on like leviticus 17
(29:51):
, 12 through 14.
Here you go, baby, somethinglike that, what you know.
If that's what gets her going,man, hey, maybe, maybe this
would be good for you all.
Right, last one, uh, to to getyou really fired up before we
get out of here.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Are you ready doing this?
Speaker 2 (30:09):
so at work.
This is a dude.
I get along with this womanwell.
We're in different departmentsso I don't see her all the time.
We agreed to have lunch and seta date for it.
Already.
I'm the one that suggested thatmaybe we grab lunch one day,
since we talk, since we talkduring work.
She said yes.
Now I ask about this because myfriends say a one-on-one lunch
(30:33):
date will not end.
Well, none of them say thatit's okay.
I believe that it is with banaltrees.
I told my wife about this andshe is totally okay with it too,
to my surprise, because shetrusts me.
I trust myself as well, but I'mnot sure what this woman's
thoughts are.
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
(30:55):
There were times where her textsshow so much expression for
something for so little Like.
When I bring back a souvenirfrom vacation and tell her that
I got her something, sheresponds like oh my gosh.
Yes, that's amazing.
She didn't even know what itwas.
There are other texts from herthat show the same level of
emotion.
She's usually quiet andreserved.
Do a lot of girls text likethis?
(31:16):
Because my wife doesn't?
Some of my other few femalefriends don't.
She also likes every single oneof my Instagram posts and
stories.
That day, when I mentioned toher that maybe we grab lunch one
day, I told her that I will lether know.
But a couple hours later shetexted me asking if I took my
lunch yet I was in a meeting soI had to decline, and she
responded well, I'm going to gohave lunch now.
(31:37):
Tee hee, hee, hee.
I can't tell what that'ssupposed to mean.
She may have just wanted tograb lunch and thank me for
getting the stuff from vacation.
She started responding slowlyafter that, but we did
reschedule for a new date.
Now I'm thinking maybe Ishouldn't have done this.
I don't know what to think ofit.
I don't know if I need tocancel, but that may create a
(31:58):
misunderstanding.
Maybe I'm overthinking.
It.
Is lunch with a coworker of theopposite sex while married
acceptable?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
No, nor is you texting her, nor is it asking
your wife, nor is it textingyour other female friends.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
No, no, no.
This is a date.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You've been hit in the head.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
This is a date.
You and a female coworker aregoing to lunch together,
one-on-one.
This is 100%, completely a date.
It's a date.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Stop living your double life.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Yes, I don't care if you say your wife is okay with
your.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
Wife ain't okay with it listen to this, because if
wait, if she's okay with it.
She's already doing that withher uh male work co-workers I'm
saying let's flip the script fora second.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
So you, your wife, comes to you and says hey,
johnny ripple pecks fromaccounting invited me to lunch
and he and I are going to startgoing to lunch together Now as
the husband, your wife, say hey,johnny, and you met Johnny
ripple pecks.
Dude's tall, he's handsome, hehas great hair, his name is
ripple pecks.
You know, yeah, are you goingto be cool with your wife, who
(33:19):
you adore and you think isincredible, going to lunch
one-on-one with johnny ripplepecks texting you know he, he,
he, ha ha ha, cute, flirty are.
Are you okay with that?
As a man, are you okay withthat?
The answer is absolutely no.
Not in a billion years.
Are you okay with this?
So your wife's not okay withthis.
(33:40):
This is a terrible, terribleidea.
This is a date.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
It is a straight up date and that's why your friends
, your male friends, have saidno, this is not going to end
well no, it's a bad idea and Idon't you know, her intentions
may be completely different.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Her intentions may be like oh yeah, I really like
this guy.
I know he's married, but he'sshown an interest and he texts
me and we share these momentsand maybe this could lead to
something, because I'm notgetting something at home.
This is a date and this is a.
This is a bad, awful, terribleidea.
It will not end well.
I mean, I know you're indifferent departments, so what
(34:17):
are you going to lunch for?
It's not like you're working ona project together.
And if you were working on aproject together, those things
need to go into the conferenceroom.
And even if it's just you two,you stay at work and work on
that and it chances are,projects not.
And if you do want to go tolunch and talk about the project
, absolutely.
You two go to lunch, but bringeveryone else who's on the
(34:39):
project with you as well If it'swork related.
But this clearly is not Dude.
You're dating this woman fromwork or you're wanting to date
her.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
You need to end it.
You bring her souvenirs back.
From who does that?
I don't even bring anybody'ssouvenirs back from anywhere.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
If you're bringing a coworker souvenirs back, guess
what.
That fly really likes yourmicrophone, loves my microphone
you need to bring the wholeoffice souvenirs back.
Yeah, not just michael scottdid, michael scott always did.
He brought candy he evenbrought the big, big little, the
drum, the thing back the steeldrum when he and jan went to
jamaica and he sent the pictureof her topless.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
It's so gross it's like your microphone's in
elephant's eye and it wants theGone no it's not Sorry for
everyone who had to hear that.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
Well, there's a fly floating around and it's driving
us insane, so with that beingsaid, why the garage door was
left open.
Thanks our daughter.
You got to stop dating yourcoworker man.

You don't think it's a date?
It's truly a date.
It's definitely a date.

This is a terrible, terribleidea.
I can imagine you coming to meand say, hey, mr Teacher, from
(35:50):
across the hall, he and I aregoing to start having lunch
together.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Then I'm old enough to be his mother.

Yes, that's.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Disgusting.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
It's a bad analogy.
