Summary
This week we are throwing it back to a hard conversation that we had a few months ago. It was the hardest and most important conversation we have ever had and something that got us from where we were to where we are now. We hope that if you have to have a hard conversation in your own relationship, this will give you the courage and confidence to do so. It is probably the best thing you can do for your relationship.

| 0:00.0 | Hello Dave Hollis here. Welcome to this week's episode of the Rise Together Podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | We are, as we record this episode, just about a week away from our Rise Together conference. |
| 0:14.0 | We're really excited about it. In the preparation of the conference, we've been diving into all the things. |
| 0:22.0 | And one of the things that, as we are getting ready for everyone to come into town, |
| 0:27.0 | that we're, I think most excited about, to really spend some time with, is the idea of conflict resolution |
| 0:34.0 | and how we, over the course of our relationship, have approached waiting into and having conversation about stuff that's hard, |
| 0:44.0 | about stuff that could, if not handled right, provoke feelings that we weren't hoping for or outcomes we didn't like. |
| 0:53.0 | And so we, as a couple, on Rachel's Rise Podcast, recorded a conversation back in December 2017 that we're going to replay on today's episode. |
| 1:06.0 | This conversation was us recalling the hardest conversation that we've ever had, |
| 1:14.0 | and also the most important conversation that we've ever had. |
| 1:18.0 | It describes us in a time where things were not necessarily great, |
| 1:25.0 | and a hard conversation was a necessity to get us from where we were, to where we find ourselves today. |
| 1:33.0 | I know whether you're in a relationship that just started, or one that's been around for a long, long time, |
| 1:39.0 | that there will be something in this conversation that you can take and make a part of your relationship. |
| 1:46.0 | I hope you enjoy. |
| 1:49.0 | Hi guys, I'm Rachel Hollis, and I'm Dave Hollis, and we're married for like 14 years. |
| 1:55.0 | And together for 16. We have kids. For kids. Which is like a thousand kids. We've also been foster parents to four kids as well. |
| 2:02.0 | We're running a business together. Do a lot of things. That is a lot of things. |
| 2:06.0 | But we feel like it's possible, we know it's possible, to have an exceptional relationship regardless of the stresses you have in your life. |
| 2:13.0 | So why we decided to do a podcast together. It's called Rise Together. |
| 2:17.0 | So if you want some tips and tricks on how we kind of get through all the things. |
| 2:22.0 | This is it. Come on down. Here we go. |
