Hi, I'm Tishawkson writer.

And I'm Kendra Adachi.

And on The Simple Show, we talk about saying no and yes to the right things.

In this episode, we're talking about dating our spouses, how we do it, frankly, whether we do it at all, and ways to stay connected, even if it's not every Thursday night

at a restaurant. Before we begin, I wanted to let you guys know about a three-part video series that

I just put out. It's totally free. And it's just my thoughts on simple living and what it really

means versus what we all think it means because it's a pretty trendy buzzword nowadays

and it's popular on the internet, but it doesn't always mean, at least I don't think it means

what everybody else thinks it means really. And so I just wanted to share my thoughts about what I

think really actual good, useful simple living looks like. So you can go to honest simpleliving.com and see this

free three-part series of me talking in the woods in Oregon. So I'm filming this video while we were

up there to be on the podcast. And I realized after I did the shots, because it's beautiful and it's

woodsy and the lighting is great that I'm wearing a red and black plaid shirt in this video series. And I realized after I did the shots, because it's beautiful and it's woodsy and the lighting is great, that I'm wearing a red and black plaid shirt in this video series. And I look just like the brawny guy on the toilet paper. I mean, not the toilet paper. Oh, that's so good. The paper towels. Yeah. I mean, I can't not see it now. So those of you listening, you'll see me look like the brawny guy. I think anyway, it could just be

me. And now that's going to be in our heads too. It's Tish the Bronny girl. I mean, I would rather

just own it than like pretend like I don't notice because it's the first thing I see. Anyway,

onward. Kendra, let's start off with this topic about dating our spouses. What do you say no to when it comes to all this?

Here's the thing. There is, I feel like there is a lot of pressure to have a regular date night.

And some people need it. Some people thrive on it. I know I have some friends who their husbands travel a lot.

And so they need to be intentional when that husband is home that they

go out to dinner or you know that's just something that kind of connects people together and connects

with their own souls that's not how cause and i are so um we really just say no to regular date
