If somehow now the inheritance that went into the down payment was

like got separated out and given to Lisa.

So there is a lot of potential for strife, for resentment, and for a feeling of being aggrieved.

That is exactly what I'm saying.

I am.

I am divorced.

And I got divorced less than 10 years ago, and then I got remarried.

In my TED Talk, one of the lines that I quote is something that someone once told me, which is, you should always marry your second husband first.

And the important thing that I draw is not that you can only meet the man of your dreams or the woman of your dreams the second time, but rather that the mindfulness about what a marriage is, the sacrifices that are exchanged, all of those principles become more easy to think about once one has been through a divorce.

And I would really like to have people not have to go through a divorce to learn those things.
