That is at the crux of, of I think every conversation we ultimately have as a couple, which is, It's funny, I'm very obviously high tech. She's very low tech. Sometimes it literally comes down to calendaring and making sure, like if I had my druthers, it would all be digital. I finally got Serena to modernize a little bit.

And now we have a giant, like a dry erase board calendar that sits at the dinner table. where she'll put in her schedule and then I have to go and usually I'll take a photo of it to send to my admins and then we'll write in mail. But at least we have one shared space where we know like, okay, Papa's out of town for this business trip. Mama's going to do this thing. And It is the hardest thing.

It is explicitly creating date nights. I mean, it's funny. It's the same tactics that you'd hear any couple talking about with a therapist about like, Hey, what are the ways to keep the relationship going, the romance, all that stuff. And it, it is definitely amplified in all kinds of ways with a higher profile relationship.

But the other reality is, so Serena has been working since she was a kid and right? Like tennis was not, I mean, it is a sport, but like, it's a job, right? The amount of hours she was putting in the responsibility, as soon as she started like playing, like playing, playing was tremendous responsibility.

So, you know, I'm married to someone who has been working for 35, 36 years and who had a childhood. And I think Serena would say like, was a great childhood, not a normal childhood, but she, Now she's evolved her word into, you know, she's still got businesses, just launched this beauty brand when shameless plug, a great brand. And, and so she's still doing business things.

She's investing, but she also loves, I mean, she's her class. She's the classroom mom for Olympia. She gets to spend so much of her time now, uh, being an active and super engaged mom for her kids.

And I can't help, and I've told her this too, can't help but feel like this is a chance for her to, she's on the other side of it now, but to live that life that she didn't really have, which was, you know, where your number one job as a kid is just to go to school, learn things, hang out with your friends. And who knows if Olympia keeps going with the tennis or the golf, we'll see.

And yet here she is having gone to the top of the mountain, achieved everything, and that's actually the thing she loves most. And so – How we make it work, it's the banal stuff. It's making sure we prioritize. It's trying to figure out and also decoding the differences. Obviously, we're an interracial relationship. I don't think that'll surprise anyone. And as a white dude...
