0:00.0	Thanks for downloading my call of the day podcast. You too can participate in my live radio program
0:06.8	heard weekdays from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern Time on Sirius XM. Triumph 111. Lori, welcome to the program.
0:15.4	Hi, Dr. Laura. How are you? Good. Thank you. What can I help you with?
0:23.7	Well, you didn't lead me astray last time,
0:27.6	and so I thought I would give you a shed again. This one's a little bit different. I want to remind you, I'm 47. My husband is six months younger than me. We have a daughter who's 10. We love

1:16.1	We love each other.
1:17.1	We respect each other.

1:23.3	You have to accept that he's on a different page,
1:25.2	and you have to let the pages go if you want to stay.
1:29.4	Yeah.
1:30.1	So that's what we're doing.
