| 0:24.0 | Crystal and I both wrote about marriage actually. |
| 0:26.5 | Our marriages are in somewhat different stages in a variety of ways. |
| 0:29.5 | So in this chat, Crystal goes into things she didn't know about marriage when she was younger. |
| 0:34.4 | You know, the things you either don't notice or assume just happen on their own or even things |
