Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Is it important to be of the same faith or
to attend the same church when she's in the partner.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yes, for me, it's very important. I think it's very
important for the same faith. For me, my faith is
crucial to my being my person. Yeah, and I think
it I need for me to take someone seriously where
my mind works, Like my mind just does not let
me see a future with someone who boxes are not

(00:30):
ticked with. So it was like faith is such a
big box. It's like it's faith, Like my body would
not let me see a future with that person for
maybe like c and just like oh like kind of
unseeriously like date. But because I was so aligned towards
like married kids from kin an early age, it was

(00:53):
I had to have someone who ticked the boxes. And
I kind of, as I said, when I'm kind of
I was aware of you and I'm watching your parents
like okay, I know we're going to get on and yeah.
So part of that was the meeting in church, the faything,
and it was just a key principle. And I think
now that we had church in our journey. We had

(01:14):
a meeting point every Sunday, well until a pandemic here
and a meeting point every Sunday where I could be
with you, we together, be around your friends. It was
near my yard. Took a go there after if you
wanted to. And also like the Friday meeting point. So
it's two key meeting points. And I think, oh, me,
like being in your space, your church, you've grown up

(01:36):
with your people, probably help probably put your ease a lot,
you know what I mean. I got that sense. And
I think those two faith in the church being a
line and me being in the church and was having
that shared communal space, I think really did a lot
of our relationship.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
No, yeah, I agree, I absolutely agree. I think for
us it worked really well, and I think it was
nice because like the familiarity I had with everyone who attended,
also by proxy was a familiarity that you started to
have with the people that attended, so they also became

(02:15):
like your church family, your actual friends in a lot
of cases. So yeah, I think definitely it's kind of
what I was saying about community and having people in
your corner. And I think our church from the beginning
of our relationship has really supported our relationship and really
supported us, which is actually priceless, you know, in terms

(02:39):
of you know, all of the twists and turns you
go through facts like celebrating our engagement with our church
was yeah and up there, and our wedding with a
lot of the members being there was top tier as well.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
