0:00.0 | Welcome to this on-air with Ella minisode. A little bite-sized boost to your day. Always quick, |
0:05.8 | always thought-provoking, and always under 10 minutes. Let's go. |
0:11.7 | Honest to God, I think parenthood and marriagehood are the two hardest jobs that we have in life. |
0:17.3 | I really, really do. And when you have a child, you can't help it. You're going to love |
0:22.4 | that child to the end of time no matter what they do. Marriage is the hardest job that I want to be |
0:28.1 | good at. But marriage requires a choice, I think, every single day. If anyone gets the impression |
0:34.8 | that you can just find the person who is your person and then like, |
0:38.0 | you're done, you're done. That was easy. Like that is such a joke. I think that you make a choice |

1:15.8 | all you need to do is to not, is to not practice that for a week or so. And guess what? You're |
1:22.0 | right back to where you were again. And so it takes that constant process to be thinking, okay, how do I do this? And you both have to be involved. You can't just be one of you. |
1:31.0 | That is so true. And I don't know if I knew that. Like I knew that intellectually, but I don't think I had, well, I know I didn't. I had never practiced that until we were able to like discover that truth together. Be like, oh, wait, okay, there's never a point where |
1:44.5 | it's just easy and you're like, oh, do you love me so much? Thanks for reading my mind. Or you love |
