marriage that's ever existed.

It's a good time for me to tell you that today's episode in particular is not just for

married people, no matter who you care about in this life.

If things are going well or you're struggling, I hope this passage will become a deep

and abiding treasure in your life.

All right, so I have not forgotten that I promised you no lengthy recaps.

I promise you I will not use up half of our time today recapping everything we've already

talked about.

You are a primary instigator,
