No, I was actually pretty calm.

No, I was actually very happy.

I was like, this is... You're relaxing.

I would say we're each other's best friends.

We've been together since 2012.

No, married almost 10 years.

And we just agreed really early on that we would approach.

This is going to sound unromantic, but approach our marriage and our relationship like we did athletics with as much like intentionality and protecting it and taking care of it as we can.

And we just always know that the stronger teammates we are in life, the better parents we are, the better business people we are, the better friends.

And we just work, we work really, really hard to protect our marriage at all costs.

Whether that's, you know, things have felt strange in a phase of life where we're like, maybe we should go see a marriage counselor to see if we can do this better.

Or, you know, even talking about this show, we talked about this show for hours.

weeks before actually going on it, just saying, is this worth it?

What is the absolute worst case scenario thing that could happen?

And is it worth the risk?

And we're just always trying to make sure that we prioritize our marriage.

What did you think the worst case scenario would have been?

We had a lot of conversations about would the show pit us against each other?

And if they did, how would we approach that?

How would we deal with it?
