Hey there, I'm Chelsea. And I'm Nick. And you're listening to the Forever Change podcast.

On this podcast, you can expect to hear real conversations from Chelsea and I about how we have

been forever changed by Jesus and how you can be too. We're so glad that you're here. And thank you

for spending some time with us. We hope you enjoy. Welcome back in, guys. It is episode five of five of our five

part series of conversations we wish we had before we got married. And I think this one's going to be

really fun today because it's looked very different over the years. This conversation has been

ongoing in our marriage,

but I think especially starting the foundations of your relationship. We're talking about

space and alone time when you have a significant other, and even into marriage, what that

looks like. And I would even argue, not argue,

I would propose that we could also talk about friend time in this kind of episode as well. So I'm

excited to talk about this because this is a really, really exciting topic because I think

our relationships flourish whenever we are balanced in these areas.

So how about you share a little bit of your heart behind this episode? Because I know you were

excited to talk about it. Yeah, absolutely. Chelsea sounds like I know that you love your alone time.

And that's true. I do love my alone time. And I'm very unapologetic about that. And I think that my alone time, where I get to have space and I get to think and I get to recharge, it allows me to be the best version of myself in my relationship, in my marriage. And one thing I do, just on the upfront,

want to mention before we get too deep into this episode,

is that we are in, obviously, no way demonizing,

spending exorbitant amounts of time together.

We are of the opinion that that is a wonderful thing.

Just quickly, one thing that we've noticed over the years in couples who are seemingly

attached at the hip, even outside of marriage, is that there comes a point seemingly.
