Well, welcome to the show. I'm Dr. Corey Allen alongside my wife, Pam, which today

in the show, if you're watching, you're catching on YouTube, you'll see she's sitting right

alongside me the whole time while we're chatting, because it's just one camera shot rather

than the two. It's fun to do. Like we normally do. But we try to help people cultivate the

space between them and their spouse. And this week is particularly poignant because the

space we're trying to cultivate is in the midst of all of the things that can go on in life,

particularly we're in the stage of the sandwich generation. Yeah, caring for parents and

kids at home. Right. And so we took advantage of a road trip time coming back from taking

care of one of said parents. And what's our takeaways from this? What are we learning in all

of this? Because it's coming and going quite a bit. There's a lot of miles being logged between

Texas and Kansas. Right. Yeah. For several years, particularly last three or four months.

And so this is just a casual conversation. And so what we're doing is inviting you to join us in

the car ride. And so to get ahead of this, the sound will be different because there's going to be

road noise. And if you're watching, which this is kind of a plug for watching this, you can even see

the road in the reflection. Yeah. You can watch the traffic that we're zooming by or is zooming by

us. I think we were zooming by because, you know, if I got somewhere to go, let's go. Let's get there.

There are some crazy people yesterday. But what we want to try to do is just help frame conversations

for for what's going on in the stages of your life so that you can apply them and create something

better in your marriage too. Because I think those are seamless. They are. And throughout, I mean,

I think it part of this just goes to show that throughout all stages, it can feel like a people

potentially for you. But it doesn't mean it has to be a divide for you as a couple. It doesn't

mean it has to hinder you in any way. I mean, this can be a way for you to grow together
