00:00This is a hard one for me to admit because I have this like picture of myself in my head that I'm
00:05like really good and have good ideas and do things right in my relationships. But with my husband,
00:11I find that I'm constantly following his lead and that's frustrating that he's always right.
00:15That's really frustrating. But I think that what keeps our relationship strong is that I've learned
00:21so much about how he has to handle life through the lens of sobriety. I've learned a lot about
00:28how valuable that is because the priorities in our relationship are communication, a foundational
00:34trust, and a sense of accountability and honesty. That is really like the bare bones of a sober
00:41person's lifestyle. So yeah, I find that that works really well for us. And also when you're
00:48together with someone for a short or long amount of time, I find it just works better when you
00:53remember you're on the same team, even in the midst of like a heated fight, which we'll still
00:57get into. I mean, we're polar opposites, so we argue all the time. But the idea that I'm still
01:02rooting for him and he's still rooting for me and that there's no contempt involved, I think is
01:07really, really important.
