| 0:05.3 | relationship advice for you and your partner to communicate like pros, fight smarter, and stay |
| 0:10.7 | in the same team, no matter the challenge that you face. I'm one of your hosts, Aaron Freeman. |
| 0:14.9 | And I'm Jocelyn Freeman, but you all just know us as the Freeman's. And this episode is about |
| 0:19.0 | how you were raised affects how you handle these four dynamics |
| 0:23.0 | in your marriage. |
| 0:24.3 | And I have to start with a funny story because it just happened today. |
| 0:28.4 | Things from our past do impact us today and they impact our partner. |
| 0:33.3 | So are you ready? |
| 0:34.2 | I'm ready. |
| 0:34.7 | Let's hear it. |
| 0:35.2 | You know that you know this story. |
| 0:36.6 | But for those of you listening, simply put, I had to take our Jeep into Get Service. And there's going to be there for a few days. So they gave me a rental.

| 1:27.6 | ride around it. Let's test it out. We'll pick up sky in it. It'd be really fun. And they're |
| 1:32.1 | going to have it for two days. So for 30, I saved $30 to not get this experience that would |
| 1:40.1 | have been fun. It would have been new. And so I bring it up as a funny story. Sometimes I'm |
| 1:45.2 | unnecessarily frugal. And now this is a funny story, but it does lead into that things from our |
| 1:52.2 | past, how we grew up, our upbringing, and then various things with our parents or as were |
