Greg and Erin share with John about how another couple helped them in the early years of their marriage. Featuring Debra Fileta.

| 0:10.2 | take a deeper dive with a respected thinker on different aspects of culture. I |

| 0:39.9 | isn't perfect, I should always be striving to make it as good as it can be and |
