| 0:00.0 | Do not get complacent. Do not get lazy. Do not think that just because you've got a 20-year marriage |
| 0:06.3 | that you're bound and determined to make that a 50-year marriage. You're not. In fact, I would suggest to you |
| 0:12.4 | that if you've been married for a long period of time, you become complacent. You've become |
| 0:18.7 | satisfied with the status quo. |
| 0:21.7 | Be vigilant, be aware, address red flags often and frequently and early in respectful ways. |
| 0:27.9 | And I think you can keep yourself from being complacent and finding yourself in a position |
| 0:31.4 | you don't want to be in. |
| 0:33.9 | You're a man of action. |
| 0:35.7 | You live life to the fullest. |
| 0:37.1 | Embrace your fears and boldly |

| 1:11.7 | marriage, the marriage that lasted 18 years, and I was with her for two decades. But some of that |
| 1:18.7 | was self-inflicted, and some of that is beyond my control. But these are things that I don't want to |
| 1:23.8 | talk with you about today, quite frankly, because they're very personal. But also, I think if I have information that can help and serve you, whether you're on the |
| 1:33.0 | verge of divorce or a separation or maybe even in a new relationship and you want to make sure |
| 1:38.4 | that you address these red flags and concerns that come up often and frequently before it gets into a dire situation, |
| 1:46.9 | then it's my responsibility to share that with you. |
