But yeah, I think we're pretty good at just like making sure we're communicating about that.

And I think the communication aspect of marriage is huge.

think we're where we're at financially to buy a house but i think we are blah blah i think that's that's a hard time big decisions if i think about the only money quote-unquote fight that we've ever had was probably buying the house that we're in now because we didn't technically need it you know you know like yeah it was more

i wanted it abby just wanted it which is fine like she this this is a hard-working woman she just launched a new podcast guys okay go give her some love but like no i just i i didn't see i it had more to do with the location yeah and i think we're in a location that there's a lot more families we're also not as isolated there's a better location for our kids yeah which we've all talked about before but you know it wasn't necessarily a need but that was that was like a hurdle in our relationship we had to overcome and we did and we figured it out

You're a good man.

I love you so much.

You're a good man.

Okay.

So next, common hard periods.

If we look at years five to eight, which that's what we're in right now.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, this, like, timeline that I'm talking about right now is just, like, pointing out the difficulties that you experience in every phase.

And this is generalizing.

This is not everyone, right?

Like, not everyone's having kids.

Not everyone's doing this.

But this is, yeah, this is overgeneralizing what a lot of couples feel.

But yeah, years five to eight, a lot of couples experience high stress from childcare, differing parenting styles, work-life balance, resentment can peak.

It's funny, work-life balance is why we had the argument, why that we had the little thing last night that was about, because you had worked late and I think that was frustrating you.
