That's all true, right?
If you agree with somebody, of course, it greases the wheels and makes interactions easier.
But I think the thing that you need to agree on is we are going to remain friends.
And we're going to do things that...
keep our friendship not only intact, but that juices our friendship up and that we're going to come up with a way to talk about things when we get sideways or when we disagree.
And I think, let me add one more thing.
I think having a set of values underneath everything that y'all anchor into is important.
The challenge is some people listen to the show and they're 20 and they just got married.
Some people are getting married for the third time and they're 56 or whatever, like 75 or whatever.
And so what you think is a value at 19 is going to change.
And so I want folks to have the same values.
I don't care about their beliefs.
Yeah, values are who you are.
Here's who we are.
Beliefs are ways I'm going to live out who I am, right?
And so here, again, I don't want it to be more squishy, but here's a good example.
My wife and I have a shared value that we believe in God.
Now, our belief to how that is expressed in our lives, what we actually believe about that, what we believe that means for how we act, how we post things on the internets or don't, those things have changed a thousand times and they'll change a thousand times more.
And often we don't believe even the same thing, but we're anchored in the same value that we're going to seek this thing, right?
Another thing is generosity.
