| 0:00.0 | One of the ways I love starting episodes with you, Pam, is just sharing some of the things I've come across recently, just ideas or things that are worth unpacking, maybe at a later date, but they're for sure worth sharing. |
| 0:14.5 | And we don't necessarily fit this stage right now because our oldest is getting ready to leave for college at the time of this recording. |
| 0:20.6 | So it's a new stage coming up, definitely. |
| 0:24.4 | Exciting new stage. |
| 0:25.3 | Absolutely it is. |
| 0:26.2 | But I was listening to a guy that was talking about when your kids get married, that |
| 0:31.5 | you're not welcoming a new person to your family. |
| 0:35.8 | They are starting their own. As parents, you become extended family. |

And that's part of what happens with marriage. And likely what happens with family. And that's part of what we like to try to unpack and uncover is have the conversations that help couples |
| 1:44.2 | not only help help with their story, but with their entire family story too. |
| 1:49.7 | Because sometimes our framework matters, how we look at things matter. |
| 1:53.7 | I'd say all the time how we look at things matters. |
| 1:57.4 | And that's kind of a nice segue into today's show. |
| 2:04.7 | As I'm joined by a colleague friend again, Dr. Jennifer Finlayson Fife, is back on with us again. I think this is the fourth episode with her. |
