But that's what I learned.

I had to learn that even though gift giving is a thing for me and it makes my heart smile and that's how I show love, how does she interpret or receive love?

That's so good.

And that's real.

Yeah.

What about you, Brad?

What is something that you learned about love that you wish you had learned earlier on?

I would say to really listen to your partner instead of answering just to have an answer or a reply.

Like really listen to what they're saying and try to understand where they're coming from so you can kind of meet them

and kind of put yourself into the situation where they're coming from, opposed to just talking to respond.

And I'm used to kind of being a little combative and like, come on, we gonna go toe to toe.

And that's just not her thing.

So, you know, and sometimes she'll say what, you're listening, but you're responding to, what is it?

You're listening to respond.

That means you haven't heard what I say.

I'm trying to get you to receive it and not in a bad way, but you're listening to respond.

Like you literally listen to defend yourself versus understanding my side.

I get that.

Yeah.

And I think a lot of us are guilty of that.
