We almost got divorced and then community came in our lives and we have an amazing marriage. We're over, over 20 years now, three kids. And I would say we dated too long. I don't think that our biology was made and designed to spend time with someone that we really, really like and we're physically attracted to. I mean, we're basically just restraining our bodies in ways that we weren't meant to.
And then you get married and you stand in front of your friends and family and you're like, for rich or poor, sickness and health, till death do us part, I do. And now you're like, you have to tell your body, but hey, all that stuff I've been telling you, no, no, no, no, no, now it's okay. And some people really struggle with the flipping of that switch.

And so I'm just not like the biggest fan of the way that we date today. Um, I'm much, I'm a much bigger fan of like short dating, but the problem with that is a lot of people don't have the maturity that is required for marriage.

Listen, I've made zero dollars on this zero and won't for a very, very long time, possibly ever.

And I think if we prioritize the things that God prioritized, that we would be set up for much more success. And they say, well, how do you know? Listen, I've done lots of marriages before. I served in, and I mean this with humility, but the largest young adult ministry in America at least. And what that meant is maybe I've done more weddings as anyone my age or as many have.
