And that's just something that we committed to when we had kids, little kids.

We said, our mission is to get these little kids, these little boys to become young men who will be protectors, and then they will leave, and it will still be you and me.

And how do we fight for each other to get date nights, to go on long weekends together, to have folks stay with the kids so that we don't lose that fire?

And, you know, that was a really important move, looking back on it.

Because even now at 56 and 55, we still fight for each other.

And it's pretty damn cool, you know, because she's my person.

She's my best friend.

I don't know if I'd be alive without her, honestly.

Well, thank you.

I appreciate that.

I feel like sometimes I drop the ball in terms of how I do it, but I do feel like we've done something right.

We've been together 29 years.

I look at you and Katie.

I look at what Tom Satterly and I were talking the other day about the same topic, and I do.

I do think it is important that couples understand

continue to talk and work with our community about relationships and that we talk about that stuff, because it is a big part of what, not just special operations, but military service, and I think just daily life.

I mean, how do we preserve our relationships?

How do we fight for our relationships when all this stuff's going on?

I think we talk all the time about our industry or our business or all the other stuff, but the real mental health stuff and the stability stuff, if the home is not in order,

Everything else is going to be a train wreck.
