safety. And I told him, hey, the whole yard is yours. Every inch, every nook, every cranny, you know,

Don't eat that one.

We're like, well, we're going to do that.

And all they did was hurt themselves.

Lovely wife, Grace.

Hey, and if you would be willing to leave a review, wherever you listen to your podcast, we'd appreciate it. Here's one good example. Someone says, I listen to this while I work and my husband does as well. And so many episodes have been so vision-changing to us. Thank you both for being real and trying to help marriages in a world that is a mess. It is a mess.
