Speaker 1 (00:00):
Just jump into this. Aisha Curry and Steph Curry, they've
been married thirteen years. You've got a handful kids.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Yes, they have four kids. And from the outside again,
I don't know them personally looking on the from the
outside in, they seem to have a very happy and
healthy relationship marriage and I Yisha opened up about the
secret to it. She said, for us, our relationship always
comes first. Then we're parents, and that works for us
because then you have two happy people raising the kids

(00:27):
in the house. And people are up in arms because
everybody thinks that this is backwards. You should be a
parent first and then your relationship second. And I love
this mentality. I feel like it is it's like when
you're flying, you put your mask on you and then
you help others. It's kind of like that same mentality
is like, we want to make sure that our relationship

(00:47):
is strong so that we can have happy parents to
parent these kids.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
I have friends that say to me both things that
they've made a mistake by not prioritizing their connection with
the kids and it's a toll on their relationship. And
then I've had friends that have said, look, we just
everything's about the kids and that's just what it is.
But they lose they create distance within themselves and they
lose a little of the heat frankly that they had before.

(01:13):
So what do you subscribe to sysney because you have
all this, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Eleven years married, fifteen or sixteen together, I've lost count
on that front, but it's true. You have to continue
to date your spouse and have those moments alone, even
if it's just for a night out or something like that,
to continue to kind of just focus on that because
the kids grow so fast. And I never thought I

(01:37):
would be saying that when I was like holding my
newborn twins, but now they're about to be seven years old,
and it happens so fast, and before I know it,
they're going to have their driver's license and then we're
going to be empty nesters. Like I just know that
it's going to happen that fast. And when you turn
back and you don't have a relationship with your husband
or your wife because you focus everything on the kids
the entire time. I think that's where marriages really struggle.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
So for Steph and Aisha, uh, it works for them,
good on them, then works for them. They're happy and
they're they've got good kids, yep.
