| 0:00.0 | One man that you know you can count on gives a woman a sense of safety that can change your whole life. |
| 0:06.0 | I've been unpacking this since 1991. |
| 0:08.0 | I have to start by saying what women do to men, women do to women and women do to themselves. |
| 0:13.0 | Experiencing being trusted and respected is a source of security for a man. |
| 0:18.0 | And if his wife keeps making sure he knows that she does not |
| 0:23.1 | respect him, then everything he's poured into what he's building isn't safe. We don't understand |

| 1:36.6 | You're welcome. I am so excited to be here. |
| 1:40.0 | Yeah. I have, through studying and getting more into your work, |
| 1:47.0 | heard you share that since you were a young girl, you felt that your work here on Earth had to do with bringing heaven on Earth. |
| 1:53.9 | What does that mean to you before we dive deeper into all the relationship things? |
| 1:58.0 | That is, I think, an important umbrella in which this all falls under. |
