Welcome to the to love honor and vacuum podcast. I'm Sheila

reaggre from to love honor and vacuum.com where we like to talk about how to make

marriage a passionate adventure and not just a giant to-do list and I am joined in my closet again by Rebecca we are we are recording in the

closet because again it is like the best sound in my house yep and you know I

keep saying to get my office ready but I do have a one year old and

anyone who has had a one year old and has two parents working from home will

understand priorities have to be re-evaluated. Yes, so there we go. Now this month on the blog in November

we are talking about emotional maturity and we're going to talk about that in the

podcast next week. Yes.

But this podcast is actually in response to a podcast a few weeks ago

that I recorded on my own, which was a mistake,

because had I recorded it with you, I would have caught a lot of the issues that people were mad with.

But I told a story about a situation that I that I went through when I was 18, which I felt bordered on abuse and which showed some

dynamics that I thought were really important for women who are walking through

abuse to understand. And I thought I thought the story illustrated it really well.

And sometimes it's like a snapshot story will illustrate something better than the

sum total of a complete relationship.

Because this wasn't a relationship.

It was just a one thing. But I told the story wrong and I ended up

muddying the waters tremendously and so we ended up taking that podcast down because I didn't think

that it was telling appropriately what I wanted it to tell.

Although then many people were upset that I took it down because they really liked it.
