a relationship, no one ever thinks it's going to be hard.

(01:49):
You know, relationships are harder than themselves. It's two people
trying to live together. It's two people trying to stay together.
It's two people who are fighting a battle against the world.
You know, I've been in a couple of failed relationships,
a couple of failed marriages. But the thing is is,
I didn't know how it was supposed to be. You
know what I'm saying. We watch movies, we read books,

(02:11):
we watch TV. We have this unrealistic expectation of what
a marriage, a relationship, a partnership is. In that facet,
you know, I thought it was always going to be
a very specific way. The man works, the wife takes
care of everything else, and you know, set on and
that's just how it fucking goes. That's honestly what I
my perception of it was. I didn't have any real

(02:35):
relationships to watch growing up. You know, my mom, uncles,
all that stuff. You know, I lived in a very
chaotic life. I don't ever regret my life growing up,
because I loved it. I had a great fucking time.
I had great fucking memories of all my friends, cousins, family,
all that stuff. But the thing is is I just
had a misconception of what I thought. A real relationship.

(02:55):
Is a real relationship, a real bond, a marriage is
hard work, and it's something you can't shy away from.
You have to put in the time, you have to
put in the effort. You have to work with your partner.
You have to work with the person that you choose
to be with. You have to choose to be happy.
If the work to be happy, you have to, you know,

(03:17):
have back and forth. Not every day is gonna be
sunshine and rainbows. There's gonna be arguments, there's gonna be
bumping heads, there's gonna be a lot of confusion. But
the thing is that that's part of the relationship. That's
part of working through the relationship and having the relationship.
I've gone through these things and learned from my failures

(03:38):
actually what I want and what I want my relationship
to be. What I mean my failures, I'm talking about
not being able to communicate, not being able to talk,
not being able to express my problems, my feelings, my thoughts,
my emotions, or even the way I'm looking at things,
my perspective on life. They're fighting me, they're not going

(04:00):
with me. Well, guess what. They can't fucking help you
if you're not going with their flow too, because it's
two fucking people. They see it one way, you see
it the other way. But at the same time, and
there's no communication. There's a complete breakdown of fucking what
the fuck is really gonna fucking happen. The expectation of
the result that you're looking for doesn't fucking exist. You know,

(04:22):
you have to work for this relationship, You have to
work for this marriage, you have to work for this partnership.
But also too, you need to give into it. It's
one hundred, one hundred it's never fifty to fifty. You
have to put in as much as you're willing to get.
All right, I'm all in, So I put all in
and my wife does the same thing. We pour into

(04:43):
this cup so it overflows, and when it overflows, there's
plenty to give for our family. But at the same
fucking time, it's not gonna always be the same amount
of energy because guess what, I'm not feeling good today.
She's not feeling too good day. She's out of it.
I'm out of it. And you know, we compensate an
evan flow here. You work with it, you learn from it,

(05:04):
you push, you pull, all these different dynamics that you
have to understand that what it takes to be in
a relationship, to be in a marriage that's healthy. You
know what I'm saying. It's not all sunshine and rainbows.
We all have that honeymoon phase and our relationships, and
when that honeymoon phase is hit ends, that's when you
really see who a person is and where they're loyals
and lies and really you know, loyalty and respect lie.

(05:28):
You know, a lot of us jump into things thinking
everything's going to be fucking great. This is going to
fix the whole situation. But you've got to start fixing
yourself first and understanding what you want, what you need
to do, and how to build a solid fucking relationship.
You know, it took me a long fucking time to
get over myself, you pull my own head out of

(05:50):
my ass, to understand how I want to live my
life and what I want my life to be, you know,
And I always lived by that after I figured it
the fuck out, and then I met a person who
wasn't scared of what I wanted, wasn't scared to deal
with my shit, wasn't scared of a little hard fucking work,

(06:11):
Because that's what it is. It's hard work to be
in love with somebody, it's hard work to care for somebody.
It's hard work to live in peace. You have to
know what the bullshit is. You have to know what
the war is. You have to know what the trouble is,
to understand what you want in peace, what you want
in a relationship, what you want in happiness, my happiness

(06:34):
and my peace. And what I want is to be
cared for, to be loved for, to be shown affection
for all right, to have an appreciation of me and
I always push that back out because I need to
make sure that they understand that. But also too, everybody's
you know, things that they want are different. Some people

(06:55):
need more physical things done, some people need more mental
things done. You know what I'm saying. There, there are
so many things that need to be given in a relationship,
but you have to work on it to learn what
you got to give. You know what I'm saying. It's hard.
It is really fucking hard to pinpoint what you think

(07:16):
you want and then to actually know what you want
and what I mean, No, it takes trials and tribulations
to get there, you know what I'm saying. People always
talk about they want, you know, I want happiness. I
want you know, a great job. I want peace in
my house. Well, guess what what are you giving and

(07:37):
what are you doing for that piece? What are you
doing and what are you working on for that financial?
You know, situation? What are you doing to make your
significant others So there's happiness there that you're being cared for,
you know what I'm saying. Because it's not one sided,
it's coming from both angles. You know what I'm saying.
It takes two people to be in the relationship not

(07:58):
just fucking one and a lot of time we are
either the one giving it all or the one taking
it all. You just have to understand which one you are.
You know, Like I said, I've gone through my pitfalls
of what I thought I wanted, but now that I
have a much more clear image on what I want.
I've been happily married for over six years. I feel

(08:20):
like it's been over six years. I'm pretty sure it is,
but it's flown by so fast. Every time I turned around,
it just felt like we got married. It's because I
have the support that I need. You know what I'm saying.
One of the things that I always wanted in my
life is someone to believe in. I didn't know that
was a thing I needed, but it's actually something that

(08:43):
was one of the biggest things in my life that
I actually need because I have ambitions, I have ideas,
I have things that I want to do in my life,
but I had always had responsibilities that I always had
to put my beliefs and the dreams and the things
that I wanted to do on the back burner. Aways
put them on the backburn because I knew what my
responsibilities are. But I didn't know. I needed someone to

(09:04):
be like, you can do that, That's possible. Why don't
you do that? You should work towards that. I will
help you do that. That gave me the confidence in
a boost to do an awful lot of things that
I'm doing now. And if I didn't have that, you
know what I'm saying, it's like I'd still just be
doing the same old, same old, not really believing in myself.
But now that I have the support and the belief

(09:26):
and the understanding that they think I'm capable of it,
and that they're my support. In that system of like
helping me believe in myself, I've been able to change
my life. I've been able to change the things that
I do. I've been able to become the person that
I wanted to become. But that's also something that I
had to learn that I needed. You know what I'm saying.
It always feels good when my wife tells me you

(09:49):
can do that, because I've had a lot of people
in my life tell me that I can't do that.
That's stupid, it's a waste of fucking time, basically saying
they don't believe in it. Like I said, just that
little pivot, that little change, that little something that I
didn't know I needed to hear here in my head,
in my ear and in my life really changed my

(10:11):
outlook on how I live my life now. Because I
also want to give that. I always want to make
sure that they understand that I believe in them, that
I support their ideas, I support their dreams, I support
what they want to do, and I will be involved
in that. It's hard because if you don't know until

(10:32):
you hear something or do something or feel something, you know,
you don't know how important something is to you. But
that's why you have to go through life. You know
what I'm saying. It's understanding when you have these little
light bulb moments that happen and you get that idea,
you hear that right thing, and it's like that triggers
what you needed to hear to change your life. And
it's just having that in my life now has triggered

(10:55):
the real path the happiness in my life. And that's
what I'm trying to help you guys figure out. You know,
it's understanding what they want, understanding what you want, but
also to fucking talking about it, speaking on it, and
bringing it to truth. You know what I'm saying. Actions
speak louder than words, But you have to put in
the action. You can always talk about it, you can

(11:17):
always speak on it. But the thing is is you
have to prove what you're willing to do. You have
to show it, you have to give it. You know
what I'm saying, You have to pour it into this
cut because that's what you're both doing in this life,
in a relationship. When two people come together and really
want to change each other's lives, that's what it fucking takes,
you know. Like I said, it's the small gestures that

(11:40):
you don't think are important are the most important. Because
everybody's love language is completely fucking different. You just got
to know and understand how to give that love language.
Show that love language, speak that love language, because that's
part of building a healthy relationship. That's the part about
fucking changeing the whole dynamic of how you see and

(12:02):
talk to each other. To build this, it's putting in
the work. It's putting in the time, it's putting in
the effort. And the more you do this, the bigger
the foundation becomes. The bigger the house becomes the bigger,
the success comes you know, like I said, I have,
I had to go through a lot of bullshit in
my life just to kind of figure this the fuck out,
and you know, it's dramatically changed my life. I always

(12:25):
try to fucking talk about these things because the level
of communication, the level understanding, the level of just fucking
being happy by just doing the best for your life
and sharing that with the ones that you want to
share it with, can change everything, you know. And like
I said it, you know, I know I ramble on

(12:47):
and I fucking go on about all this communication. You know,
all these fucking buzzwords are fucking you know, communicate, fucking
you know, show affection and fucking you know, mental mental health,
fucking anxiety, depression, all these things. But this is all
stuff that I've had to learn, all right. There were
no terms. There was no fucking like, oh, this is

(13:08):
what this is. You need to take a pill for this,
you need to do this. Its like. And at the
end of the day, once I learned what my issues
and my problems were, I was able to put a
label on them and I was able to work on them.
You know what I'm saying. I never wanted to take
any pills. I never wanted to take any things. I
just needed to confront my issue, my problem and the
things that I wanted in my life. And when I

(13:29):
started doing that, it flipped the script on me, letting
me reflect on what am I doing to be successful
at what I want? What am I doing to achieve
the goals that I want? What am I doing to
achieve what I actually want in my life, which is happiness?
All right? And my version of happiness is a great family,

(13:53):
a fucking a comfortable life, you know, me being able
to do the things that I want to do every
day without any fucking stress. That that's my version of
happiness here. And I'm saying I'm not asking for much.
I'm just asking for what I want, and I'm also
working really hard for what i want to be able
to be fucking happy on an everyday basis. And you know,

(14:17):
like I said, not every day is a great day,
but guess what. Every day is a day that I
get to wake up and do as I want and
do the things that I want to do with the
people that I want to do them with. And it's
all because I put in the time, I put in
the effort, and I talk about this fucking bullshit that
I'm fucking speaking on. And I say bullshit because I'm
trying to minimize it. So you guys, don't think it's

(14:39):
this giant fucking hurdle. It's not. It's taking the first
fucking step to reflect on yourself and what are you
doing to fucking help you? You know, because it starts
with you. You start at the top. Everybody in their pyramids
starts at the fucking top, and then it goes down
and spreads down to everybody else. You, your wife, your kids,

(15:02):
your family. You see what I'm saying. So if you
take care of number one, you take care of yourself,
and you build that foundation of the understanding of who
you are, what you want, and being able to speak
on it without anybody putting you fucking down. Because as
soon as someone fucking starts being negative about your fucking

(15:22):
life and what you're doing to try to achieve those
fucking goals, understand that's not the kind of person you
need in your life. And if you can't talk to
them or have them understand, or them even try to
work with what you're trying to do, that's another that's
another indication that you need to check on who you
keeping in your fucking circle, who you keep tight close
to you. Who you know what I'm saying, Like I said,

(15:45):
your loved ones, those who really care for you, will
support you, will be there for you through these difficult
times and good times. And you know what, we stretch
those relationships then, but also too, they never fucking break
when they're the real ones. That's just what I'm saying.
You know what I'm saying, because like I said, I've
stretched a lot of those relationships real fucking thin and
fucked up a lot of fucking shit in my life.
But at the same fucking time, those that I care for,

(16:07):
those that I love, I've stuck around with through all
my fucking bullshit. You know, like I said, I fucked
up a lot. I never claimed to be fucking perfect,
but what I do claim is I've always owned my
fucking mistakes and pushed myself fucking forward to get what
I fucking want. You know what I'm saying. It's difficult,
it's hard, but at the same fucking time, it is

(16:29):
worth it. Putting in the time, putting in the effort,
and understanding that it takes work to build the foundation
you need to have a great relationship, to be a
power fucking couple, to be the kind of people that
people you know, inspire to fucking be. I'm not saying
people inspire to be me and my wife, all right.

(16:51):
I'm just saying I'm trying to give a fucking goal point.
I'm just trying to fucking point a fucking finger. I
don't have all the fucking answers, but i'd have some,
and I'm willing to give those fucking answers to those
who are fucking listening. I push forward and I persevere
through all the fucking life, all of my life. You
know what I'm saying. I've had a lot of downs,
and I've only had a few ups, but I'm on

(17:12):
my up right now, and that up right now is
taking me to the place that I want to fucking be,
peace and happiness, and I want that for you guys too.
