Speaker 2: on Amazon, Bonds and Nobles, or wherever you purchase your books.

10
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: And she's here today and we're opening up the phone

11
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: lines eight hundred and five A five one oh five

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: to one. Before I got married, I wish somebody told

13
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: me this. That is the question. So let's start with you. Yeah,

14
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: before you got married, I wish somebody told you what.

15
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 3: That it wasn't a cakewalk, That it wasn't as easy

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 3: as television and fairy tales make it out to be.

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: That it takes diligence and day to day hard work

18
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 3: and dedication.

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: I'm not that easy.

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 3: There are times that you are. But the overarching idea

21
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 3: of marriage isn't easy because there's so many different layers

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: to it. There's love, there's family, there's the business aspect

23
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 3: of it. There's so many things to peel back, and

24
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: each one of those layers have sub layers. So those

25
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 3: are things that you have to consider before you decide

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 3: to say I do, before you walk down the aisle.

27
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 3: Because most people when they envision marriage, they think more

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: about the wedding, you know, they think of the spectacle

29
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: of it, and the beautiful dress, the bachelorette party, and

30
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: that's all so exciting. But when those days are over,

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 3: you're back from your honeymoon, you have to dig your

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 3: heels in. Then you start running into problems and you

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: have to know how to navigate those problems. And if

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 3: you didn't learn from your parents as an example, where

35
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: do you learn from? And just like I said earlier,

36
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: people turn to the wrong people for advice, people that

37
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 3: aren't qualified to give them advice. And a lot of

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 3: times the actions that people take to deal with those

39
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 3: problems aren't rooted in reality. It's not rooted in in actuality,

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: it's not rooted in trust. So they don't know.

41
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 4: What to do. So what do they do?

42
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: They act out of emotion. And when you act out

43
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: of emotion, nine times out of ten it's a bad

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 3: reaction and it's going to garner a bad result. So

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 3: I think that people have to make it very very

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: be very proactive about learning about marriage before they decide

47
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: to say I do Wow.

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: I just want to put that out there, that real life,

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: real love paperboo, because right now, when we discuss all

50
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: that good plug this set way, now, what about you

51
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: shot the.

52
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: Mike, I wish people told me nothing, you know what

53
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 4: I mean, because it's because it's on the job training, like,

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: and everyone's experience is different. You know, what works for

55
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 4: you may not work for me, And there's no one

56
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 4: set way to do this marriage thing. Like marriage is

57
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: not one size fits all. Marriage is a tailor made,

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 4: custom outfit that is exclusive to you and your significant others.

59
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 4: So you can tell me your experiences, but don't tell

60
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 4: me how my marriage is going to be, because you

61
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 4: really don't know because you're not me and you're not

62
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 4: my significant other.

63
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: I don't think that's an I don't think that's inherently true,

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: because there are things that are right.

65
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: And wrong, Oh absolutely, you know.

66
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 3: And it's so interesting to me that a lot of

67
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: times married people engage in the wrong behavior knowing damn

68
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 3: well that it's wrong. And I do think that there

69
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: are things that they're not educated to know before they

70
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: get married. So I do think that you know, there

71
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 3: are things that a person, even without the experience of

72
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 3: being married, can share with you to help you navigate

73
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: your marriage, you know, even if I guess they don't

74
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 3: walk the same walk as you.

75
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.

76
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 4: For me, it's like, when things go wrong, you'll have

77
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: people be like, well I would have did this, and

78
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 4: I would have did.

79
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: That, but you not.

80
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous, right, yeah, right.

81
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: You know, right, So you know, in that aspect, I'm like,

82
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: you can't tell me how to do my marriage.

83
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: But is there something that someone could have told you

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: before that you got before you got married, that could

85
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: have helped you something that maybe you just didn't really realize.

86
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know. I also don't know because

87
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: I didn't see a lot of health marriage coming up,

88
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. Like my mom and dad

89
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 4: got a divorced. Damn near all my aunts got divorced, you.

90
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 5: Know what I mean.

91
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: So I didn't really see a lot of relationship. I

92
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: saw a lot of long relationships that didn't work last, right,

93
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: you know, so they would together for a long time,

94
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 4: but then they all decided to go separate ways. I

95
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: didn't really see I didn't really have too many healthy

96
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: relationships to look at growing up.

97
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: So I think that kind of like answers the question

98
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: in a sense. Maybe someone couldn't have told you something,

99
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: but you probably would have benefited from good exams, good examples.

100
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this.

Speaker 6: That is unique from Mermot, Florida. Good morning, good morning.

136
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 6: So two things. Firstly, as it relates to I'm Jamaican,

137
00:05:54,520 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 6: I always late. I can't testify with jan and I'm

138
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 6: always late no matter what.

139
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: See Sean apparently it's in Giar is always late to

140
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: So y'all y'all on the same plan.

141
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: That easier on me?

142
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 6: Then yes. And then I related to the husband question,

143
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 6: I did not know that I would have been my

144
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 6: husband maid.

145
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: Oh you made you gotta do the cleaning and cooking

146
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: and everything.

147
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 6: I gotta do everything. If you're going on vacation, I

148
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 6: have to be packing for him. I gotta pick up

149
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 6: his socks because you know he gets cold. He takes

150
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 6: off his socks all over.

151
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 5: Leave them.

152
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 6: Even the dog is even much more helpful than he is.

153
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: Well what does he do?

154
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 5: Say? You do?

155
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 6: You work, and I work, and I work, and I

156
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 6: go to school full time, and plus we have three kids.

157
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 6: But he's a coddditional kid.

158
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: Well, now you've got three jobs, you work, you go

159
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: to school, and you're the maid.

160
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 6: Tell me about it, he says, because he does the

161
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 6: yard work, he can't do the yard work and the housework.

162
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: That's true. I agree that sound like y'all are.

163
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 3: Okay, let's just be reasonable here. Yard work is not

164
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: a daily job.

165
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 6: That's work every single day.

166
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: We have a yard and it gets maintained once or

167
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: twice a week.

168
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: You can do the yard work.

169
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: Would you want to cut the grass?

170
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: You don't sound like a yard woman?

171
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: No I'm not.

172
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 6: But that does not say you can help me around

173
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 6: the house because you have to cut the lawns.

174
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: So what are you going to do about it? You're disgruntled,

175
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: like the situation that you're in, What are you going

176
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: to do about it?

177
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 6: I complain all the time, but then it's like you

178
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 6: complain today in help, but then next week it's like

179
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 6: a whole different story over again.

180
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 3: So why why don't you stop?

181
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: Because she gives them the Jamaican d and then she's

182
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: happy after.

183
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: You mean, she gets yeah, but then you're not.

184
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 6: Like when it comes to cleaning. So like even though

185
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 6: you complain, is that at the end of the day,

186
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 6: you have to get it done.

187
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: And I ask you one question, Nick, are you with

188
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,360

Speaker 6: Man, Yes, you're Jamaican as well.

190
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: Is it true about Jamaica man eating a pump.

191
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: Poom or should you say not not eating the pumpoom?

192
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 6: I mean you manage Chinese Jamaica.
