And that's when, and so, you know, when I'm counseling couples that are getting ready to get married in the church, for example, I'll say the most intimate thing that you're going to do, and they think I'm going to talk about sex, praying together. That's literally the most intimate thing that a couple will ever do.

And I know couples who are, you know, churchgoers, they'll go 50 years and never pray in front of each other because it's too embarrassing. They'll have like six kids, but they won't pray in front of each other because that feels more intimate.

So that's one of the basic maintenance things for, or if you're not religious, then meditating together, using some sort of an antenna to the metaphysical forces that you are feeling.

I happen to believe that there is a metaphysics to it, that there is a divine element to these types of things. But using those things, because it's that important.

And that's the reason that people will fall in love and two years later hate each other. They'll fall in love, but they won't get to the best friend stage. They'll never get to companionate love. And that's because all they had was attraction. Passionate. They had the passion that came from the obsession and that came from the bonding. But they actually never got to friendship.

Did you have a scholarship? No, I didn't scholarship. No, no. I just quit my job. Quit your job. And, and, and I went to Spain and I found a job in the Barcelona city orchestra. I was a French horn player in those days. And so for, because I was in, I was, cause I wanted to be able to communicate with her.
