You may recognize Steve and Lisa from the new Marriage Online Course.What follows is both a humorous and deeply insightful conversation.

| 0:04.8 | We recently wrapped up the Allener Center marriage conference with Dan and Becky Allender and |
| 0:09.1 | Steve and Lisa Call of the Reconnect Institute. So as our team is reflecting on that incredible event |
| 0:14.3 | and gearing up for next spring's marriage and Richmond retreat, we thought we'd go back into |
| 0:18.4 | the archives to revisit a conversation between the |
| 0:20.8 | Islanders and the calls. In this episode from 2020, they talk about engaging triggers in a marriage. |
| 0:26.6 | Sounds fun, right? Whether you're married or not, we hope this topic will help you in any of your |
| 0:31.5 | close relationships with a spouse, friend, or family member, and will prompt you to consider |
| 0:36.2 | the triggers you have and the triggers you notice in those close to you. If you'd like to learn more about the marriage offerings |

| 1:31.5 | Steve and Lisa Call, it is an honor to have you back to talk about the issues between the two of you. |
| 1:39.2 | That's our primary point is to talk through what goes on between the two of you when one of you gets |
| 1:47.5 | triggered. And then Becky and I will listen, learn, because we don't want to talk about it. |
| 1:53.4 | We don't have any triggers. I asked her before. What triggers do you have? She goes, I don't have any. |
| 1:57.7 | Oh, yes, she does. Yeah, well. when you... Oh, thanks a lot, Steve. |
