Hey, everybody, welcome. Thank you for listening to this episode of Marriage Therapy Radio. My name is Zach. I'm here with Laura. We talk about something today that's actually been on my mind for a little while. I mean, it's kind of always on my mind. How do you measure success? How do you move forward relationally? A buddy of mine across the street and I started a project that I think is going to be fun for you and your partner to consider. So we're going to tell you all about that. Also, here's one more reminder about the seven principles workshop that we have coming up. I think that's in the middle of May, May 12th, and 13th. We'd love to have you join us. There's more details inside this episode. But for now, this is a fun one. And I hope you'll enjoy it. This is a very cool conversation. Stick around. Do you know what I think about all the time?

Uh, episode, but for now, this is a fun one, and I hope you'll enjoy it. This is a very cool conversation. Stick around. Do you know what I think about all the time?

the meals and for the majority of the time I'm busy like washing all the clothes. Like I'm pretty

much home homemaker 101. Like I'm the one. However, it is an unspoken rule that whatever comes to the door in a

box, I take it out, I put it away, and then the box just gets thrown out into the garage and where

it lands is where it lands. That is now my husband's department. Oh, there's another box on the

ground. What are you going to do with it?

So there is currently, yeah, a lot of boxes. You cannot find actually the door without,

and that's intentional. I will place boxes in front of the door. You have a box cutter.

I do. Even my mom knew what to do yesterday.

I got like one of those meal kits delivered and so we emptied it.

And then she goes and then the box just goes in the garage.

And I was like, it's magic.

It goes in the garage.

And then a month and a half later, the box disappears.

But for the month and a half where the boxes stay, it becomes a new fort,

like a new challenge. It's kind of like the floor is lava or parkour in my garage for a month. Oh my gosh. I'm crying. Yeah. Are you responsible for a box breakdown at your house?

It's not a thing. You just, we just, whoever opens the box and break it down, they put it in the recycling,
