So I've mentioned this before, but one of the great blessings of being on campus for

the last forever has been being part of people's relationships because you know marriage

prep stuff and then also like non-marriage prep like almost dating prep stuff which is

great.

It's so good, even post-marriage prep, that's not the right word, but just being invited

to relationships because I get to see all the like the fun things that I get to avoid

as a Sullivan priest.

I remember there was this one couple that just, oh gosh, it was so good.

They came and she was really upset and one of the reasons she was really upset, there

was a lot of things she could be upset about, but she was upset about the fact that he

wouldn't share with her.

She would want him to, you know, reveal his thoughts to her, reveal his heart to her and

he just wouldn't do it.

And so she started getting suspicious because she said that I would ask him, you know, we

would be sitting together and I'd ask him, hey, what are you thinking about?

And he looked back at me and said, well nothing.

And he said, he always says that.

And she's getting this suspicious like again, like what's he trying to hide from me?

Like what are his thoughts where he just keeps deferring this and saying nothing?

Because who was, how would he go?

She would ask, what do you think about it?

He'd say nothing.
