Yeah.

But we also do that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

But, I mean, there was a moment in California, even when we were face to face, that was like, are we about to end this right now?

Yeah, it was bad.

Yeah.

And I feel like once we did that, that's when we got into the momentum of, okay, this is how I can be a great husband and a great wife and learning from the scriptures and learning from the Lord what it looks like to be

You know, a husband.

And, you know, for me, I remember having a conversation with Jonathan Stamper.

And it's when we went out to lunch with him and I was talking to him.

He was he was breaking down Isaiah 53 to me and what it looks like to actually die.

actually die for my bride and to give my life for her and to serve her.

And as Ephesians 5 talks about, to sanctify, to cleanse, and to wash my bride daily with the word and with scripture and what it looks like to be a safe place.

And I think when I do that, that's what safety looks like.

Not only just in a physical place, but emotionally, spiritually.

leading leading moments um and it comes through serving and it comes uh to dying because isaiah 53 talks about how he how he jesus um he was pierced for our transgressions and bruised for for our iniquities and upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace and i remember talking to jonathan and he was like

true peace for your bride comes through you dying and that's something you know even in the engagement season even now I feel like I'm still learning how to you know operate in true peace you know and what it looks like to give myself for my bride um yeah

Yeah.
