Doesn't matter how quickly or how long it took you to ask her to marry you.

Doesn't matter that she spontaneously said yes.

And then doesn't matter that y'all got married a year later.

What matters is y'all said I do.

I'm in.

And then right out of the gate, something bad happened.

You lost your job.

And

The psychological research says losing a job, your body internalizes that as a loss of a person.

That's how heavy your body grieves job loss.

It's such an insecure, unstable moment that your body overreacts.

So finding yourself more frustrated, more grumpy, that's completely normal.

trying to reconvene with a brand new wife and say, okay, we just got a flat tire right as we pulled out of the driveway of our new marriage.

It should be a moment that brings you closer together, right?

And you feeling the weight of, oh, this doesn't just affect me, this affects somebody else.

That moment when you realize, oh, this squat bar is really heavy.

That's a normal feeling.

I'll even call it a good feeling.

I'm glad you got to feel the weight of, oh, I'm married now.

I've got bigger responsibilities than just me.
