Summary

After a whirlwind phase of chaotic life events, Danielle wants to take a moment and discuss how far she and Adam have come as individuals, as a couple, and especially as parents. But, the two realize that just stopping and living in the moment is difficult when there are still so many uncertainties. Still, the couple attempt to discuss the fact that it's necessary to stop and reflect on how much they've accomplished together over the past year and a half (and longer). Some things the two discuss:

  • Why we all need to celebrate the moments that society might not deem "worthy" of an official celebration much more often.
  • What Danielle and Adam did as parents that helped their kids through their most difficult times so far, and why it was so impactful.
  • How Danielle's OCD has helped her to revel in the "small wins" in life more than the average person most likely does.
  • Updates on" Mia's adjustment to college; How Danielle and Adam's attempt to sleep in the same bed is going; how the new house is coming along.

Hey everybody, welcome to Marriage of Martinez.

0:29.9

I'm Adam. Here is Danielle. Hello. Sorry, I missed you last week. That wasn't part of you and life coach Amy, but I'm back and I know I said this when we first moved that it was echoey and I'm hearing some weird echoey. I don't know. We have open walls in this room right now, our podcast room slash restroom. Right. So I'm I'm hearing you don't hear it. It's okay. I hope it'll be okay.

0:59.9

Yeah, I guess it all depends how badly people want to listen to the episode. Post the picture of what we're looking at. I did, but I'll do it again. Yes, but we I mean, we we we should maybe just decide that from now on, we're just going to leave the door open and anybody who comes not the door, the wall is open. Yeah, it's not the door. Right. The door is fine. But the bathroom works. We're using it. The bathroom works just fine. Yeah. And the boys don't seem at all.

1:29.9

All bothered by the fact that they're in the open peeing because they're just doing their businesses usual. But yes, it is definitely there. We're not doing a lot of like structural stuff to the house at all. In fact, this is the only thing. But the podcast room, we needed to sort of restructure so that you don't enter the bathroom through the podcast room. Like the downstairs restroom because if we're recording and people are just like coming in and out of the bathroom.

1:59.9

That will be a little kind of a propria extraction. I guess kind of appropriate. Right. But so we had to anyway, we had to reconfigure the wall. But well, we used to say, you know, excuse the dog noises, excuse the kids. That's true.

2:16.7

No, excuse the bathroom noises. It's just part of the podcast. It's just part of life. Yeah, honestly. It's just a natural function talking about real life. And that's part of it. That's true. Yeah. But no, it does feel like we have been living amidst.

2:30.7

Like aesthetic chaos for a very long time because since we started showing our, well, really ever since you married me and realized that I suck it being a, you know, a housewife. I hate that fucking term anyway. But

2:47.8

There needs to be some kind of like, look, I didn't have any money so there could be no prenup. But there needs to be someone kind of clean up.

2:55.5

Was that mean like so you sign a document saying you're going to be like clean and neat before we get married. I really wouldn't even go there. No, no.

3:05.1

Are you kidding? Did you really just say that?

3:08.5

You just said it yourself. I can't say it too. I said I hate the word housewife. But I guess when we got married, I don't know what you were thinking.

3:17.3

For some reason, we thought that I was going to be able to be a, you know, take care of things. And I so obviously when it comes to keeping the house clean, I cannot.

3:28.3

But it's, oh, look, the train's going by. The train is. We have a train in our backyard now too. Man, times have changed. Yeah, this is my cousin Vinnie all over.

3:37.1

But I like the train. I like the train going through. I like the sound of it. It's like it's calling it. Let's me know that like

3:46.7

the world is, you know, like we live in a really quiet neighborhood. It's nice to know that there's, you know, civilization out there. Yeah, right.

3:57.9

Anyway, prenup. Yeah, that's what I said. I couldn't. I just know reason for our prenup. But you said the same. I doesn't know how about instead people register.

4:10.3

Like I would have registered. I want to, I should have registered for, you know, cleaning help. That would have been, that would have been the perfect thing for me to register for the people.

4:19.5

Still even register for the things that we registered for. Is that still like the people like walk around the store with the scanner of like, oh, this China looks nice and

4:29.9

huge couples. This vase looks nice and we'll never use. I mean, I didn't, I didn't, we walked around the store and scanning things that we were like, oh, okay, right.

4:39.5

But I did not register for China because I was literally like, what, what am I going to put white castle on it or McDonald's? Like, I knew I wasn't going to be the type to have, you know, but it wasn't China, but it was dinner parties with, no, I didn't have any, we didn't have any of that.

4:56.3

I didn't register for vases or vases or whatever you call it. Like, there were a lot of that stuff that I didn't, I mean granted it. Like, yes, I grew with you. It was stupid. I wish we had been like, can you just give us cash?

5:11.1
