WE ARE BACK. 

After a long break, we are starting up again. This podcast tells you where we have been, what we have been up to, and what we are planning for this next season.

Thanks for all of your encouragement and support. We look forward to hearing from you more, and we pray to be a blessing to our listeners.

00:00:15.689 --> 00:00:18.239
Welcome, amplified Marriage podcast listeners.

00:00:18.460 --> 00:00:20.129
I'm Bryan I'm Natalie.

00:00:20.309 --> 00:00:21.679
We are back.

00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:23.140
It has been been a hot minute.

00:00:23.140 --> 00:00:24.100
It's been a hot minute.

00:00:24.100 --> 00:00:26.500
It's been a long road for these last nine months.

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:26.679
Our.

00:00:27.475 --> 00:00:31.195
Episode was in February of 2022.

00:00:31.195 --> 00:00:33.445
So early, early this year.

00:00:33.445 --> 00:00:36.204
We, we had the play going on.

00:00:36.534 --> 00:00:38.395
We had new church things happening.

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.134
We had all kinds of things that were happening.

00:00:40.225 --> 00:00:43.195
You're gonna wanna grab a coffee cause we got a lot to talk about today.

00:00:43.585 --> 00:00:45.054
We have some things we wanna talk about.

00:00:45.414 --> 00:00:51.078
And so we just wanted to say, just thank you for holding on for these last these last months.

00:00:51.107 --> 00:00:55.107
Even though we weren't here, we were still getting emails, we were still hearing from people.

00:00:55.107 --> 00:01:03.399
People were responding to us on Instagram and Gmail and just responding to all the things that were going on and we kept on, people kept on listening to the podcast mm-hmm.

00:01:03.875 --> 00:01:12.120
So it's really, really great to see that people really were just engaged and really want some tools to make their marriage better.

00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:12.900
Yeah.

00:01:12.905 --> 00:01:14.969
And like, I dunno.

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.609
Can we say this is like post covid?

00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:18.959
I dunno.

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:20.519
It's been a weird year.

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:21.959
Yeah, it, it's been a bit odd.

00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:25.552
And we're gonna get into a little bit of why that was, but we're still together.

00:01:25.763 --> 00:01:27.263
We still love each other.

00:01:27.352 --> 00:01:28.733
We're still married.

00:01:28.754 --> 00:01:46.759
We just really felt like, That time of the year, for me particularly, I'm a vocal director for a musical theater in town, and so our productions are in March and from February to the middle of March, it's just nonstop busy.

00:01:47.019 --> 00:01:47.319
Right.

00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:49.599
You just kind of get off your regular.

00:01:51.834 --> 00:01:53.784
Like downloading or whatever it's called.

00:01:53.784 --> 00:01:54.114
Rhythm.

00:01:54.293 --> 00:01:54.834
Yeah, rhythm.

00:01:55.433 --> 00:01:56.093
Regular rhythm.

00:01:56.453 --> 00:02:01.373
And then we were planning a big, huge trip and then it just kind of spirals.

00:02:01.373 --> 00:02:09.993
And since we finally got into, so we had the play and then that summer we took our kids to California for two weeks on a trip that we've been trying to do.

00:02:09.993 --> 00:02:11.924
We spent, it's been at like the trip of a lifetime.

00:02:11.929 --> 00:02:12.183
Yeah.

00:02:12.183 --> 00:02:13.894
It was one of those, those dream trips that we.

00:02:13.908 --> 00:02:21.139
And then af right after that, we had a church, big church launch back into some normal volunteer service nights.

00:02:21.139 --> 00:02:23.778
And then this year was our 40th anniversary as a church.

00:02:24.049 --> 00:02:30.049
And then right after that we had more things that were happening and then the were, it's just been such a busy season for us.

00:02:30.258 --> 00:02:30.468
That's right.

00:02:30.602 --> 00:02:35.909
And then we started getting phone calls and texts and people asking, so what's, what's going on?

00:02:35.909 --> 00:02:37.409
What are you doing with the podcast guys?

00:02:37.590 --> 00:02:38.699
Like, that's a really good question.

00:02:40.264 --> 00:02:54.465
And so we kind of, we, it was, we stopped and we kind of prayed about it and Natalie was being asked by people outside of me being present with her, and then vice versa and, I think people really people that we knew really found value.

00:02:54.675 --> 00:02:54.794
Mm-hmm.

00:02:55.034 --> 00:03:00.194
and what we were sharing and how we were sharing it, and just being able to have that kind of stuff on tap.

00:03:00.745 --> 00:03:13.372
Honestly, we use our, our own podcast, and others, but we use our own podcast sometimes when we do our pre-marriage coaching with young couples or marriage, marriage, coaching with older couples, whoever it is.

00:03:13.912 --> 00:03:16.111
And just to send him a podcast just to stuff.

00:03:17.092 --> 00:03:24.921
Like one of our most famous or most famous, most popular ones, and I encourage you, I'll go back to listen to it if you start in the middle, but is unmet expectations.

00:03:25.072 --> 00:03:25.162
Mm-hmm.

00:03:25.407 --> 00:03:26.451
it was episode one.

00:03:26.961 --> 00:03:34.611
We had a, a couple that we know actually said it took'em five months to get past that one, cuz every time they listened to it, yeah.

00:03:34.616 --> 00:03:38.901
They got more and more out of it and it sparked a lot more conversations.

00:03:38.961 --> 00:03:50.606
And what we've heard from other people is that they hear the podcast and then they fight and then, They discuss things and the car ride or the sitting in the living room is a little bit tough or a little bit different.

00:03:50.757 --> 00:03:50.997
Right.

00:03:51.055 --> 00:03:53.979
Just because they're now they're being faced with things.

00:03:53.985 --> 00:03:54.240
Mm-hmm.

00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:55.913
and we say this all the time when we coach.

00:03:55.935 --> 00:03:57.314
You don't know what you don't know.

00:03:57.805 --> 00:03:58.314
That's right.

00:03:58.405 --> 00:04:01.794
But, and you've heard us say that in the podcast, you don't know what you don't know.

00:04:01.794 --> 00:04:05.574
But the moment that you do know, now it's up to you to be accountable for your behavior.

00:04:05.604 --> 00:04:05.965
That's right.

00:04:06.025 --> 00:04:06.805
For your actions.

00:04:06.805 --> 00:04:11.094
And now you have to shift because you do know you have to make changes.

00:04:11.455 --> 00:04:11.844
Right.

00:04:11.995 --> 00:04:13.164
I completely agree.

00:04:13.555 --> 00:04:20.098
And this is our, like, these are the things that we talk about, we talk about, we've experienced.

00:04:20.442 --> 00:04:22.435
We've walked through as a married couple.

00:04:22.435 --> 00:04:30.557
So we're drawing from our own experiences and things and, and there's still things that we, that we haven't walked through, right?

00:04:30.557 --> 00:04:34.127
And then we bring on guests for those kinds of things.

00:04:34.127 --> 00:04:37.307
And so I really encourage you, if this is your first time listening, go back.

00:04:37.307 --> 00:04:39.798
This is our third season now.

00:04:39.887 --> 00:04:40.024
Yep.

00:04:40.045 --> 00:04:42.235
And there's tons and tons of content and.

00:04:43.180 --> 00:04:53.021
Part of our nine a month break was just, you know, we didn't want to just keep a schedule and just like pump out whatever, just to keep it going.

00:04:53.021 --> 00:04:56.591
We really want to be mindful and really want to pray our way through.

00:04:57.250 --> 00:04:58.391
Like what now?

00:04:58.571 --> 00:04:59.440
What's next?

00:04:59.446 --> 00:05:03.581
Also, also addressed address things that people are struggling with.

00:05:03.641 --> 00:05:03.880
Yeah.

00:05:03.970 --> 00:05:08.800
Now, because like there's a lot of things that changed over covid.

00:05:09.355 --> 00:05:14.334
For sure, like the way we communicate, the relationships that we have, how we respond to each other.

00:05:14.334 --> 00:05:21.415
There's sometimes and a lot in, in some cases of couples that we know throughout Covid, the relationship actually got stronger.

00:05:21.564 --> 00:05:21.745
Yeah.

00:05:21.805 --> 00:05:29.485
That was the case with us and our, actually our children and some of our really close friends is our relationships got stronger like Natalie and I's marriage got better.

00:05:29.512 --> 00:05:31.072
And, but that wasn't the case for everyone.

00:05:31.762 --> 00:05:37.672
And then some people that had their marriage got tougher during Covid, actually when Covid got out.

00:05:37.672 --> 00:05:41.391
And then you're faced again with regular schedules, regular work every day.

00:05:41.391 --> 00:05:43.672
You're not at home, you're having to do things differently.

00:05:43.672 --> 00:05:56.151
The kids are back in school, or you're having to now make work trips or what things are going on then, then the relationship starts to to shift again, and you just got over a shift for two years and now you're having to make another one.

00:05:56.422 --> 00:05:58.161
And it just adds more stress on there.

00:05:58.161 --> 00:06:01.622
And then over the last of a while, the economic status has changed for people.

00:06:01.689 --> 00:06:03.848
Groceries are more expensive, gas is more expensive.

00:06:03.848 --> 00:06:05.108
Housing is more expensive.

00:06:05.108 --> 00:06:06.788
Living is just more expensive.

00:06:06.848 --> 00:06:06.939
Yeah.

00:06:07.119 --> 00:06:19.238
And so we really wanted to make sure that the ideas and the things that we're presenting to the people that need this the most are things and discussions and conversations and problems that are real, real world problems.

00:06:19.514 --> 00:06:21.944
Real word, real world struggles.

00:06:21.954 --> 00:06:22.194
Right.

00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:25.754
Things so we can actually, that are pertinent, that are pertinent to the situation at hand.

00:06:25.754 --> 00:06:33.014
And so we really wanna make sure that as we come back, that when we come back, this is just like a, our trailer to the coming back.

00:06:33.043 --> 00:06:34.153
Like That's right, yeah.

00:06:34.603 --> 00:06:44.225
Is gonna be filled with a lot of really good content that we've been talking about and planning about, talking with some of our friends about things that are going on in their marriages mm-hmm.

00:06:44.305 --> 00:06:46.115
and their struggles and things like that.

00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.584
And so we're really excited for what the season is gonna.

00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:50.069
Totally.

00:06:50.069 --> 00:06:57.170
And I mean, part of one we needed a break because you know, you work full-time.

00:06:57.591 --> 00:07:00.740
I work partly full-time, partly full.

00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:06.057
Well, I am a full-time mom but I also work outside the home and I vocal direct and so and.

00:07:06.791 --> 00:07:10.872
We're pastors in a church, and so there's a lot going on.

00:07:10.932 --> 00:07:13.872
And we're kind of split in several different directions.

00:07:13.872 --> 00:07:18.732
So really wanting to make sure that we, we take care of ourselves right, and do some self care.

00:07:18.732 --> 00:07:24.312
And part of this, you know, year of creating this memory with our children was absolutely essential.

00:07:24.641 --> 00:07:26.351
It was necessary for us to do that.

00:07:26.351 --> 00:07:28.961
And you know what we didn't realize, because, I mean, we're.

00:07:29.877 --> 00:07:31.076
Fairly frugal.

00:07:31.076 --> 00:07:31.526
I'd say.

00:07:31.526 --> 00:07:39.297
We're not out frivolously, you know, we don't do lavish holidays and you know, we generally stay local.

00:07:39.297 --> 00:07:46.922
And we had been planning this trip for a long time and it was one that really felt out of reach for the majority of our marriage.

00:07:47.012 --> 00:07:51.153
We took our kids to Disneyland and like I have never been to Disneyland.

00:07:51.903 --> 00:07:53.132
I don't think you have.

00:07:53.312 --> 00:07:53.372
No.

00:07:53.463 --> 00:07:54.963
And our children certainly haven't.

00:07:54.963 --> 00:08:02.192
So it was a first experience for us all, and I didn't realize, I knew we needed a holiday.

00:08:02.192 --> 00:08:07.862
I didn't realize how important this one was going to be, and so we.

00:08:08.492 --> 00:08:16.103
Knuckle down more than I think we ever have in order to be able to make this a reality.

00:08:16.163 --> 00:08:16.374
Right.

00:08:16.374 --> 00:08:17.064
Finally.

00:08:17.124 --> 00:08:20.733
And we could not have done it without our brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

00:08:20.738 --> 00:08:22.360
So shout out to you too.

00:08:22.360 --> 00:08:24.120
You know who you are, right?

00:08:24.187 --> 00:08:24.860
So grateful.

00:08:24.860 --> 00:08:25.490
So grateful.

00:08:25.490 --> 00:08:32.931
We went with Brian's sister and her husband and their four kids and my mother-in-law, and it was just, It was incredible.

00:08:32.990 --> 00:08:33.201
Yeah.

00:08:33.260 --> 00:08:40.341
And when we came back and we all love each other and we all get along really great and our kids get along and people were like, you guys like holiday together?

00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.571
Oh my gosh.

00:08:41.571 --> 00:08:43.160
And it really, we were like, yep.

00:08:43.280 --> 00:08:45.530
I think we, we were gone for 10 days.

00:08:45.801 --> 00:08:51.230
We got back, we skipped a day, and then we were right back to family dinner and stuff like that.

00:08:51.350 --> 00:08:52.821
And it was like Yeah.

00:08:52.821 --> 00:08:53.961
People thought we were weird.

00:08:53.961 --> 00:08:54.801
Like, you guys didn't take a

00:08:54.801 --> 00:08:54.951
break.

00:08:54.951 --> 00:08:55.130
All weird.

00:08:55.311 --> 00:08:56.780
We're like, duh, we like these people.

00:08:56.961 --> 00:08:57.260
Well, yeah.

00:08:57.260 --> 00:08:59.150
That and the, the cousins were.

00:09:00.081 --> 00:09:02.750
Excited to see each other again, even after that one day break.

00:09:02.750 --> 00:09:02.961
Oh, so great.

00:09:02.990 --> 00:09:07.551
Like it was this and that's, that's like living, living life together, living community together.

00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:10.520
And, and it was, it was such a good memory.

00:09:10.880 --> 00:09:17.811
It was also like making up for a previous two years of like the very first year of the pandemic, my son turned 16.

00:09:18.186 --> 00:09:18.395
Yeah.

00:09:18.441 --> 00:09:25.249
And we had a trip planned to Alberta to go to the zoo, to go to the drum Heller dinosaur museum.

00:09:25.308 --> 00:09:25.458
Yeah.

00:09:25.668 --> 00:09:28.278
To go to the arena to do all this stuff.

00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:29.328
His big things.

00:09:29.328 --> 00:09:31.068
I wanna go to, was it Boston Pizza?

00:09:31.249 --> 00:09:31.519
Yeah.

00:09:31.609 --> 00:09:33.499
His big, I don't know what entertainment in Boston.

00:09:33.499 --> 00:09:35.389
Pizza in Alberta, but he's like, I wanna go to Boston.

00:09:35.389 --> 00:09:35.989
Pizza in Alberta.

00:09:35.994 --> 00:09:36.158
Yeah.

00:09:36.619 --> 00:09:40.908
And we had this whole thing planned out in, it was April of that year.

00:09:41.269 --> 00:09:41.658
Yep.

00:09:41.749 --> 00:09:43.999
And we got shut down in March.

00:09:44.239 --> 00:09:44.509
Yeah.

00:09:44.599 --> 00:09:50.359
And then we had to, we had plans already in advance for my other son's birthday and my daughter.

00:09:50.899 --> 00:09:57.408
And every one of those plans got shifted and then we thought there, like the government just dangled the little carrot of hope in front of you and the next year.

00:09:57.408 --> 00:09:59.568
And then it got started and shut down and started.

00:09:59.568 --> 00:10:00.528
And started and shut down.

00:10:00.528 --> 00:10:01.759
And it was just so tough.

00:10:02.193 --> 00:10:03.693
To be able to manage through that.

00:10:03.754 --> 00:10:03.933
Yep.

00:10:04.009 --> 00:10:09.769
And again, had plans, tentative plans, like this time you're a little more gun shy, but tentative plans.

00:10:09.798 --> 00:10:10.078
Yep.

00:10:10.158 --> 00:10:12.979
And you couldn't make the plans and so you shoot them down again.

00:10:13.339 --> 00:10:16.369
And so this last year we did what it took to be able to well's the

00:10:16.369 --> 00:10:19.038
scripture like hope deferred, makes the heart grow sick.

00:10:19.129 --> 00:10:20.298
Is that a scripture or is that

00:10:20.303 --> 00:10:21.479
just a It's a hundred percent.

00:10:21.479 --> 00:10:22.818
Is that just a Chinese proverb?

00:10:23.119 --> 00:10:23.538
Look it up.

00:10:23.538 --> 00:10:24.948
I'm gonna look it up while you talk.

00:10:26.073 --> 00:10:27.543
And isn't that true?

00:10:27.543 --> 00:10:33.153
Where, you know when, and I know that our hope is not in a trip and our hope is not.

00:10:33.394 --> 00:10:44.917
Our hope is in Jesus, but that whole idea of if you are in a situation where it feels hopeless, and for a lot of us this pandemic really felt hopeless.

00:10:45.126 --> 00:10:49.058
I mean, we were super fortunate that we still had our jobs.

00:10:49.063 --> 00:10:49.538
Mm-hmm.

00:10:51.774 --> 00:10:56.023
and like that wasn't well there was always a risk, but Oh yeah.

00:10:56.024 --> 00:10:56.293
We were

00:10:56.293 --> 00:10:57.163
faced with all

00:10:57.163 --> 00:10:58.364
the time of, you know, we, yeah.

00:10:58.663 --> 00:10:59.933
And there was all of these.

00:10:59.955 --> 00:11:04.351
Of like the bank saying, Hey, if you need to, like, what's that?

00:11:04.351 --> 00:11:06.542
Like, defer your payments or, or whatnot.

00:11:06.542 --> 00:11:08.912
And we were just like, Nope, we're not doing that.

00:11:09.422 --> 00:11:13.052
We're just gonna keep plugging away, keep watching our money.

00:11:13.052 --> 00:11:13.142
Mm-hmm.

00:11:13.591 --> 00:11:15.152
and keep just watching it.

00:11:15.152 --> 00:11:16.322
Leave the bank account.

00:11:16.381 --> 00:11:16.711
Right.

00:11:16.711 --> 00:11:23.639
But you know what super grateful that it did not have an adverse effect like it did on so many people.

00:11:24.089 --> 00:11:24.389
Yeah.

00:11:24.453 --> 00:11:24.957
So.

00:11:25.783 --> 00:11:30.673
This trip was essential for our mental health, honestly.

00:11:30.673 --> 00:11:30.873
Mm-hmm.

00:11:30.952 --> 00:11:36.552
And it was like, it was sketchy with all of the restrictions and things like that.

00:11:36.557 --> 00:11:40.917
And, you know to go to the states here in Canada, you need to be vaccinated.

00:11:41.576 --> 00:11:48.173
And so you know, Brian and I had talked about Novavax, which is a protein based vaccine, and.

00:11:49.568 --> 00:11:53.979
just the timeline to get that done beforehand was really sketchy.

00:11:54.219 --> 00:11:54.369
Yep.

00:11:54.578 --> 00:12:04.869
And we didn't know if we'd, if we'd be able to in time, because you know, the kids can get away with not being, but there was just a lot of hoops to jump through.

00:12:04.950 --> 00:12:06.899
And I'm so glad that we did mm-hmm.

00:12:07.429 --> 00:12:09.539
and that we were able to make that a reality.

00:12:09.629 --> 00:12:09.929
Yeah.

00:12:10.649 --> 00:12:13.590
And so, You're not wrong.

00:12:13.830 --> 00:12:15.120
Proverbs 1312.

00:12:15.210 --> 00:12:16.009
There you go.

00:12:16.009 --> 00:12:16.529
Wanna read it?

00:12:16.529 --> 00:12:26.700
You think as a pastor I'd know these things, but sometimes it sounds like a Chinese proverb when really it's verse Proverbs 1312 is where you can find the phrase hope deferred.

00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:27.419
Makes a heartsick.

00:12:27.419 --> 00:12:30.370
But a longing fulfilled is a tree of life, right?

00:12:30.509 --> 00:12:32.789
And obviously our longie fulfilled is in Jesus.

00:12:32.789 --> 00:12:39.432
But you kind of get a visual right of, of when you, when you're just going through life and it just seems.

00:12:40.226 --> 00:12:44.787
Everything keeps compiling on each other and it's never gonna get better.

00:12:44.787 --> 00:12:46.797
We're never gonna get outta this cycle.

00:12:47.216 --> 00:12:51.567
It can be really draining and really waning on relationships.

00:12:52.991 --> 00:12:58.744
That being said as this is just like a, a welcome and we're saying thank you to you.

00:12:59.043 --> 00:13:02.339
We just wanna give you a little heads up of what this next next season looks like.

00:13:02.344 --> 00:13:14.182
Season three looks like we're gonna be starting into a series, I believe it's probably gonna end up being a two part series on what you've heard in the news and what you've been seeing on Twitter and things like that, and Facebook and Instagram.

00:13:14.543 --> 00:13:16.342
This idea of quiet, quitting.

00:13:17.673 --> 00:13:25.490
I know the people think that this is a, like the definition is the definition work related is, is work related, but it also really pertains to our relationships.

00:13:25.490 --> 00:13:31.970
But the people also think that it's, it's, it's a new, a relatively new thing like this generation's like, oh, that's work quietly quitting.

00:13:31.975 --> 00:13:33.470
This has been around for 50 years.

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:33.590
Mm-hmm.

00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:34.700
this isn't new.

00:13:34.700 --> 00:13:39.980
This isn't even it's first or third or fourth or fifth time wave that it's kind of come up in culture.

00:13:39.985 --> 00:13:40.440
Yeah.

00:13:40.490 --> 00:13:46.279
And so we're really gonna tackle that one and what that looks like in marriage, how that affects your marriage and how that it, it.

00:13:48.009 --> 00:13:54.549
It really is subversive in the fact that it, it sometimes just creeps in and you didn't know it was there and all of a sudden you're not really putting effort in.

00:13:54.970 --> 00:14:01.330
And some of the stressors that sort of amplify that, like amplified marriage, right?

00:14:01.365 --> 00:14:05.865
For that slippery slope, right.

00:14:06.404 --> 00:14:07.424
Of quiet quitting.

00:14:07.424 --> 00:14:09.174
And you might just be like, well, this is.

00:14:09.539 --> 00:14:10.740
The norm, right?

00:14:10.818 --> 00:14:29.812
But hopefully we'll be able to identify some of those for you, and then it can at least spark a conversation if if you take away anything from our podcast, let it be, let it be the start of a conversation and that that could then, you know, you fan the flame and that that can really assist you in bringing.

00:14:30.506 --> 00:14:31.527
Some change.

00:14:31.616 --> 00:14:32.216
Absolutely.

00:14:32.216 --> 00:14:33.836
So that's where we're starting.

00:14:33.897 --> 00:14:43.168
And then we're gonna be doing, I think we're gonna do an update on our unmet expectations because we get lots of actually that's one of the main things that we're seeing in, in especially over covid.

00:14:43.288 --> 00:14:43.427
Yeah.

00:14:43.428 --> 00:14:44.149
And the pandemic.

00:14:44.149 --> 00:14:47.298
And is people struggling with not.

00:14:47.714 --> 00:14:51.974
Before, it's almost like you're so busy you could forget about expectations.

00:14:52.033 --> 00:14:52.183
Yeah.

00:14:52.453 --> 00:14:57.583
But over covid, when you're at home and you're faced with it, like I was at home too, we're faced with it now.

00:14:57.583 --> 00:14:59.083
You really are.

00:14:59.144 --> 00:15:04.274
Are having to deal with that unmet stuff and talk about it and it be right in your, like it's right there.

00:15:04.274 --> 00:15:07.964
And if you don't talk about it actually is worse because now you're in the same space all the time.

00:15:07.969 --> 00:15:08.063
Yeah.

00:15:08.163 --> 00:15:11.974
And things are, and so we're, I think we're gonna get back into the that a little bit.

00:15:11.974 --> 00:15:16.971
We have some friends of ours that have really had some really great struggles that we're gonna bring on the podcast.

00:15:16.971 --> 00:15:20.630
They're gonna talk about dealing with pornography and things like that in their own relationship.

00:15:20.961 --> 00:15:23.451
So we have some things that we really want to touch on this year.

00:15:23.456 --> 00:15:23.541
Mm-hmm.

00:15:23.618 --> 00:15:32.421
That are from real world, people that have struggled with things in their marriage that are, are pertinent to the things that we're dealing with currently and the things that we're going on.

00:15:32.926 --> 00:15:33.346
That's right.

00:15:33.350 --> 00:15:35.895
So lots of, lots of series coming up.

00:15:35.895 --> 00:15:37.552
We're launching with quiet, quitting.

00:15:37.763 --> 00:15:38.062
Yeah.

00:15:38.062 --> 00:15:38.873
And absolutely.

00:15:38.873 --> 00:15:41.153
So we're looking forward to being able to connect with you.

00:15:41.557 --> 00:15:45.530
To hear from you to hear what you have to say, what you want to be a part of.

00:15:45.565 --> 00:15:49.284
We have some ideas for some really cool segments on the show that we want to add to it.

00:15:49.289 --> 00:15:53.455
And so we know that you like this podcast because you've been a part of this.

00:15:53.460 --> 00:16:00.131

00:16:00.131 --> 00:16:01.751
And so it means a lot when you actually share.

00:16:01.991 --> 00:16:03.101
Now we're getting back into this.

00:16:03.101 --> 00:16:05.951

Amplified marriage gmail.com.

00:16:24.131 --> 00:16:24.642
That's right.

00:16:25.032 --> 00:16:32.711
And as you heard her say, and you're gonna keep hearing us say, we believe that marriage can be reset, refreshed, recharged, and restored.

00:16:32.711 --> 00:16:34.991
We're so glad that we're back and we get to be with you all.
