Wifey and Baby Mama

Shun (00:36.79)
Hey, I'm Shawn.

Shannon (00:38.481)
Hi, and I'm Shannon.

Shun (00:40.466)
And we're the host of wifey and baby mama. Happy Thursday, family. I've just grown to love that slogan. So you know what? We're gonna adopt it here on wifey and baby mama Shannon. Happy Thursday. Now, I know we did our official welcome back episode on last week, but in case you weren't tuned in, let us tell you again, welcome back. We really missed you guys and we're elated to be back with you yet another season, Shannon. I missed you too, girl.

Shannon (00:48.621)
Yes.

Shannon (00:52.406)
Happy Thursday! Yes!

Shannon (01:07.542)
Yes, we are. Yes, I know, even though we talk every day.

Shun (01:12.922)
I Mean we talk, you know get season prepare, you know worked on a few projects, but it's not like Coming together like we do here every Thursday doing I think you know, I love this part, you know, especially since we're so far apart So hey boo

Shannon (01:16.022)
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Shannon (01:20.654)
That's true. Right, right. Yeah, hey. Yeah.

Shun (01:27.842)
Hey. All right, so let's get season three underway here. Tonight's topic is titled, Leading and Submission and How Not to Get It Twisted. In honor of the new year, we chose a topic that we could speak on, you know, concerning the correct order of doing things in a relationship, you know, on the daily, particularly a marriage, you know, because the Bible does not speak of situationships, you know, only the vows.

Shannon (01:54.99)
That's right.

Shun (01:56.838)
A man and woman take you know in the name of the Lord before you know family friends and God So we don't want anyone to be confused here If you're not married don't expect certain things to flow for you because god don't bless no mess And trust me if you're new to this podcast, which is possible because we you know We picked up a few new countries while we're on break So if this is your first time tuning in to wifey and baby mama, first of all seriously welcome And secondly, let us tell you we're the least two judgmental chicks. You'll ever come across. Okay We just want to be clear

Shannon (02:25.316)
Right.

Shun (02:26.45)
And very careful not to mislead anyone though, because Shannon and I both have been in relationships and situationships and God was nowhere near. And that's a hot mess, you know. I can't speak for you Shannon, but for Sean, let me say it out loud. When God isn't in it, it's a living hell.

Shannon (02:36.548)
Yeah.

Hehehe

That's right. Yeah. Even I don't know if folks watch Judge Judy, you know, when couples that have been living together come before her and they want her to fix some mess that they've created. That's like some of the first words out of her mouth. Courts aren't meant for this because you have no legal contract with someone. You're not legally bound to them. So why are you going into a court of law saying, I want my cat back?

Shun (02:58.67)
That's right.

the back.

Shannon (03:07.862)
Or I want my couch back from this dude, you know? So, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Shun (03:12.504)
That's just a do you know it's not your husband I mean We can't prove that so yeah, but in all fairness you know you do have to date and get to know people before marriage You know so we give our advice and experience to on those things as well on certain episodes Leading and submission particularly applies to two people that have become one you know and in my case

Shannon (03:21.306)
Of course, yes, yes.

Shun (03:34.062)
There's reason this topic resonates with me so well is I'll admit my marriage started out of order We were both into church, but we were not necessarily following the word and teachings, you know So we found ourselves in constant turmoil and disagreements, you know What was proper between a man and a wife, you know become it becoming one and in the beginning we were at odds on the daily It was one of the biggest things my husband had a problem with you know, was our order

And his thing was, you know your tone and in his words your disrespectful mouth And I had to take a look at me before I could point out his wrong And I found it wasn't always him bucking or resistant when I was telling him It was how I was doing it my delivery, you know And and that was what he had to issue with you know And my issue with him was you're a grown man. Why do I need to tell you at all?

You know, you should just be doing it or why should I have to tell you if a female speaks to you knowing You're a married man. She doesn't have to be sure that I'm your wife She doesn't even have to know I'm your wife But if you and I are standing there, then she speaks to you look me up and down and walk away That's disrespectful, you know, it's some things that you just don't do but in truth I knew he wasn't doing certain things as a leader of the home when I first knew him So that's why it's important even when dating to be sure to understand the order

of a relationship.

Shannon (04:58.262)
Yeah, yeah. And there's nothing wrong with growth in your marriage because even with, you know, everyone, you know, Shana, you and I talk about it a lot. You know, me and my husband, we came in, you know, both of course following God, but you know, he had been married before, I'd never been married before, so.

Shun (05:02.974)
Absolutely.

Shun (05:16.563)
Mm-hmm Absolutely

Shannon (05:16.898)
We weren't on the same page. There were a lot of ways where things were like, oh my gosh, what are you doing? And he's looking at me like, what are you doing? And then he was always trying to school me on marriage. And I'm looking at him, how you gonna tell me something about marriage? You don't been married before and all, you know? And I've never been married, but so we both were wrong. Definitely both wrong and both had to learn and grow. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that as long as you recognize.

Shun (05:24.75)
I'm going to go ahead and close the video.

Shun (05:37.074)
That's right.

Absolutely.

Shannon (05:44.662)
where you need to go. And we're not totally there yet, of course. We've only been married five years. So we, yeah, yeah.

Shun (05:48.93)
No, I don't think anyone ever gets there to be honest with you Shannon I've talked to couples that's been married that this one pastor and his wife, you know She's a very good friend of mine She they've been married over 30 years and they still have days when they're at odds. You'll never arrive We just try to give advice to where we have looked to the point We have gotten how we got in there and how we make peace in our homes at this time You know, I was so concerned about shacking up and going to hell Shannon. That was my thing I want to be me because you're not about to keep sleeping. I'm not

Shannon (06:03.058)
Yeah, right, right.

Shannon (06:09.526)
Yeah, exactly.

Shannon (06:15.794)
I'm going to go to bed.

Shun (06:18.13)
Mind you, when I already had two kids, but still, it's time out for everything. I wanted to be married or you get the heck on. What I didn't realize was getting married before we had identified what leading and submission look like. Still, still we ended up every day in a living hell on the daily because even with the rings and vows, until you understand what leading and submission looks like, you still got a problem. So you're absolutely correct. Growth is needed and growth is necessary and growth will happen every day, every year.

Shannon (06:22.651)
Right, right.

Shannon (06:42.776)
Yeah.

Shun (06:48.331)
Every single decade of a marriage it will happen. It'll take place

Shannon (06:51.382)
Yeah, yeah, exactly. As long as you're willing to recognize that you're not grown yet, because a lot of people think, oh, I'm good, I'm good. So you always have to be self-aware and hold yourself accountable.

Shun (06:58.562)
That's right.

Shun (07:05.514)
Girl I can't tell you I Can't tell me times, you know My husband and I will come to an issue and we jump the hurdle and I call everybody call my friends I call you be like girl with girl. We worked it out. We so good We're in love and I call back two weeks like but I'm gonna kill this Negro You better come get it if you want these kids to have a father or you call me and be like, you know what? You got a minute, you know, I got this other really, you know This other really close girlfriend that I have and you know, she'll call and be like I'm leaving I'm done

Shannon (07:14.638)
Hehehehehehe

Shannon (07:25.996)
Yeah, yeah, I got a vent.

Shun (07:34.958)
They've been married like 17 years. I'm like girl what so that's what I'm telling you. It'll never be perfect You know it you'll think you know you'll have good days, but girl listen, and I want to be clear on this subject Nothing will ever come before the Word of God right it will remain the same today tomorrow and forevermore And as a Christian I try and follow that the best I can daily right as a wife and a mother though I also found that is okay if you have to do things for your house that some may find out of order you know

Shannon (07:37.771)
I'm going to go ahead and close the video.

Shannon (07:49.326)
Right.

Shun (08:03.542)
For instance, I think I made this reference, or you, you know, we made it with one of our guests last season, but it's just something cut and dry that I can get into without getting too deep. In most homes, the man takes out the trash, like 75% of the time, right? I mean, like, and a lot of homes, let me, let me re-say that. And a lot of home, it's like the man's duty, right? In my home, 75% of the time it's me, and not because he doesn't want to, or he's lazy, or any nonsense like that, I'm just in the kitchen more. And if it's full...

Shannon (08:19.066)
True.

Shun (08:33.458)
I'm not waiting to take it out because oh the man's supposed to take trash out. He's the man in the house. The devil, honey. If it's full, I'm taking it out and that's that. Now on the other hand, it can be a situation where like we have a 16 year old, she wants to go to a dance and it's not over to 2 AM. My husband says, absolutely not. I can't go over his head and be like, well, it's a safe environment. These are good kids. Their parents are lawyers and it'll be fine. They'll be safe. No, we got to discuss that before we get in front of the child.

Shannon (08:37.36)
Yeah.

Shun (09:01.802)
You know if the answer is no Then the answer is no and we get to why is no before we get in front of the kids, right? Because if you do it any other way It's gonna be disrespectful as a wife. He's gonna lose respect for me as a husband I'm saying and going against him in front of the kids make him make them kind of lose respect for him as well That's also a thing we had to grow into because I'm like wait a minute, dude These my keys you mean telling me nothing cuz you just you just came up, honey. Bye

Shannon (09:02.638)
Right.

Shannon (09:21.931)
Right.

Shannon (09:26.714)
Thanks for watching.

Shun (09:30.906)
No, when you become one all of that has to stop and I had to look at it from a man's point of view Like you don't get to just show up and just tell my kids what to do. Well, you don't marry him then You got to have that all worked out before you walk down that aisle. You know what i'm saying? So My husband used to be under pressure under the impression sometimes Too though that just because he was the man that was the answer a negative, bro

Shannon (09:45.897)
Right.

Shannon (09:54.923)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (09:56.266)
We had to also discuss like I think we discussed this in a previous episode I hope y'all caught up because we gave y'all like too much now But anyways, even if you did it you could still go back there But anyways, we talked about in this day and age for the most part It isn't feasible to live the traditional way, you know Where the man bring home the bacon so he makes all the decision and a wife sits home and cut flowers and make sure they're Pretty on the table and no we're both out working

Shannon (10:02.051)
Thanks.

Shannon (10:07.575)
Yeah.

Shun (10:23.29)
Most you know this day and age everybody's getting money. Everybody's trying that, you know run the house through their part We both make decisions now ultimately he has the final say according to the order though You know because he's the man of the house and that doesn't make me weak as a woman You know, I mean, I mean i'll give you i'm talking about my house I'm just saying that doesn't make me weak as a woman. It just speaks to my character my understanding that I will submit to my husband as he submits to christ you know

Shannon (10:39.298)
Yeah, yeah.

Shannon (10:43.351)
Yeah, yeah.

Shannon (10:52.65)
Yes, there you go. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Oh no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, when you said he gets the final say, but then you add it as long as you're following Christ, as long as your husband is following Christ, and of course you're following him. And like you said, everything is a discussion, a decision to be made, is mutual submission, meaning,

Shun (10:53.93)
So, no, I'm sorry. Now you go ahead with what you were saying. I was just saying how it goes in my house.

Shannon (11:20.046)
The word says, you know, wives submit to your husband, but it also says, husbands love your wives as Christ loves the church. And yes, yes. And also understand that even Jesus Christ humbled himself in a mutual submission with us. By him humbling himself and dying on the cross, that was a mutual submission. He humbled and submitted himself.

Shun (11:28.006)
I mean get it clear make it plain sister make it plain make it plain

Shun (11:40.739)
That's right.

Shun (11:47.554)
Absolutely.

Shannon (11:49.538)
and Christ does not force himself on us. Salvation isn't forced, it is a choice. He says, come to me, not, I'm gonna come beat you over the head until you come to me. And your marriage can't be that way either. So you can't, a lot of people when they hear women say, I submit to my husband, the naysayers or non-believers, you don't even have to be a non-believer, even some folks in the church.

Shun (12:02.587)
That's right

Shannon (12:17.346)
say no, I'm not doing that, I'm not doing that, because they think submission is synonymous with fear. I'm not going to live in fear. That's not what that means. That just means having mutual respect for each other. And you cannot have chaos, or you won't have chaos, if you have mutual respect for each

Shun (12:26.018)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (12:29.486)
It's not but I'm gonna raise my hand Go ahead. I'm sorry, baby. No, go ahead. That means heaven. No, you finished your point

Shannon (12:47.406)
Even god told abraham god told abraham to listen to sarah read your word. He said listen to her so Just because you're saying i'm I can submit to my husband as he submits to christ that doesn't mean you're You're exactly you're not a mat. You're not getting beat. You're not whipped. You're not, you know all these things that people um use In in place of the word submission So make sure

Shun (12:47.63)
Let me tell you girl.

Shun (12:52.814)
That's right. That's it.

Shun (13:02.742)
Doesn't make you a mat a pushover

Shun (13:16.066)
Well, I-

Shannon (13:16.994)
Um, go ahead. Go.

Shun (13:20.198)
No, no, I'm thinking you're done and I'm cutting you out but no you're making good points I don't want you to stop but I was just gonna say as a When you said me even if you are not believe you said but even if you are believe it I'm a full Christian maybe been a long time Christian But I'm gonna tell you right now when my husband was acting fools You go and get up out of here. You ain't telling me nothing. You tell my kids that I said nothing you talking about I had to even understand that was wrong. But because I'm I just wanted not dismiss what you said or compete or try to

Shannon (13:32.664)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (13:40.79)
Right, right. Yeah, yeah.

Shannon (13:48.291)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (13:48.402)
antagonize or manipulate what you said, but what I'm saying is this Even though he was out of order. He was not submitting to Christ. He wasn't doing right. I was a little I'm not little I was still wrong for not just praying and allow God to come and correct the situation I was still wrong for buckets just straight up like no, I'm not doing that use I don't care what you talk about you ain't living right and you're gonna tell me what to do that ain't the answer people That's why you need to get all of this in order before you walk down the aisle because I had to do it backwards

Shannon (14:08.231)
Bye.

Shannon (14:11.662)
Yeah.

Shun (14:16.542)
And I'm gonna tell you something, Shannon, it's so hard to back walk instead of just going in it the right way. You know what I mean? Cause now you have these two full grown people who are in this marriage, we came into this marriage just as we are. And now you're gonna make me, now you wanna try to make me not, that he or she shouldn't try to make the other one. You should be that way when you arrive at the altar. When you go down to take those vows, all this should be understood. So ladies and gentlemen, that's wifey and baby mama's mission.

Shannon (14:19.914)
Yeah, yeah, right, right.

Shannon (14:27.833)
Yeah.

Shannon (14:35.395)
Yeah.

Shun (14:42.382)
We're gonna try to get y'all right and if you ain't right if you like me and Shannon when you did it and we wasn't Already right before when we did it. It's still room for growth and it can still get better. It can still change It still works, but you got to let it but you got to let God do his work, you know So now that mm-hmm now there's another you know part of that getting a twisted reference for the men I want you to understand some fellas what I just said Y'all can't be out here living in the counterweight doing any old thing not paying bills and think you're about to live in peace

Shannon (14:53.411)
Yeah.

You do.

Shun (15:11.562)
You're creating a storm in that case and it's hard for Christian women to follow like Shaman Shannon said It's hard for us to follow when you're acting a monkey But you can believe that these women are of the world you're gonna get good and left I'm gonna tell you that right now or you're gonna be one of many because they're not going to submit or Commit to a man who's not doing it the right way You have to give us something to want to submit to you have to give us something to want to be peaceful for Angels don't live in hell And i'm an angel

Shannon (15:24.162)
Yeah, yeah, right.

Shannon (15:31.745)
Uh huh.

Shannon (15:37.334)
Yeah. Right.

Shun (15:40.814)
So you want to give me some peace baby, okay? Straight up It wasn't always but I am now the other girl The other girl could have lived in a world this girl right here it's peace and it's the peace for me

Shannon (15:44.246)
Yes, yes, and yes, and another, another. And another.

Shannon (15:55.418)
Oh Lord, oh Lord, yeah, yeah. Right, right. And another thing about submitting too, that, you know, make it clear, people say, you know, of course, like I said, you know, a few minutes ago, people don't wanna submit, don't wanna submit. You submit to things throughout your life, throughout the day, you submit to authority. Don't you? You know, you're not out here robbing banks because you submit to the laws of the land.

Shun (16:19.414)
That's right.

Shannon (16:25.378)
The same way with the laws of your marriage, the vows that you take, that is submission, you know? And some people say, well, that's why I don't wanna be married. Well, okay, if that's how you wanna live, but don't expect that you're gonna have perfect peace. And some people do, there are some people, of course there are anomalies everywhere. Some folks, we hear about atheists all the time and people that...

you know, agnostic, don't believe in God and their lives seem absolutely wonderful. And they don't have any strifers. So they say, we don't know. We're not behind closed doors. So I'm not saying, um, you have to be married. I'm just saying it's better if you are. And there are more success stories when people are married, folks are following the, the laws of marriage, just like you follow the laws of the land. And that is the mission. You're submitting to a.

Shun (17:21.972)
That's right. Absolutely.

Shannon (17:24.762)
authority when you put your seatbelt on. You're submitting to authority when you go get your driver's license before you get behind the wheel. Those are things that are submission. So don't think that submitting to your husband is just the craziest thing you can hear. Or think that a man that says, my wife is submissive means she's just this docile little mouse, you know, that's going to...

Shun (17:27.65)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (17:54.958)
follow everything this man says. And then on the flip side, I know we've all seen those marriages where the woman is so dominant, where the man is like this poor little, you know, frightened, abused. Yeah, exactly, exactly. So neither one of those work. Yeah, yeah. So.

Shun (18:08.406)
Hand-picked chicken Mm-hmm, it's all of it's No, but I want to say this when you talk about Women or people who think I ain't submitting to nobody and I'm better and this well you think about the fact that like you said Jesus submitted to dying for us and none of us deserved it So women when men are not doing what they're supposed to be doing and men when women are not doing they're supposed to be Doing in your merit take it to the Lord

Shannon (18:28.426)
Yes, that's right.

Shun (18:38.206)
And remember that he died for us even when we didn't deserve it. So some days, you know, our partners are not going to live lives that deserves submission. I get it. But we have to remember that every day, you know, we're loved by somebody who probably in rights, shouldn't love us for the things we've done, but they do. So keep that in mind, you know, nobody's perfect, you know, and we're not perfect. But, but don't intentionally though, try to create a living hell for someone and think it's going to be in peace or.

Shannon (18:42.714)
Right.

Shannon (18:57.29)
Oh yeah, yeah.

Nobody's perfect.

Shun (19:07.554)
Think that you're gonna do everything you're supposed to do and not follow the word of God. And then this person's gonna say, it's not gonna work. It's gonna be a failure on both your behalf. So the best thing to do is try to get it right before you go down the aisle. But if you already have and you're living in Tormau, just turn that thing around.

Shannon (19:23.646)
Yeah, and I know there are folks that are together that may be unequally yoked and they could have gone into the marriage that way or their Situations where you neither one of you were saved and then you get married and then one of you get saved Yet your partner is still out here trying to do these things and you might have A husband trying to get you to go to strip club with them or you know Do these things that you no longer do and you say oh well, I guess I gotta be submission. No, no That's not what we're saying

Shun (19:31.319)
Mm-hmm.

Shun (19:36.378)
Right.

Shun (19:48.412)
Right.

No, nope, that's not what that means. Absolutely not because I bet you one thing right now If I don't want to go i'm not going if it goes against what I said i'm not going Period now that don't have nothing to do with it. So no don't let people trick you into it either You know get to know the word for yourself. You know, I mean I think we can we can wrap it up with this leading in submission, you know and how not to get it twisted If you respect the order in which a house should be ran

Shannon (19:54.063)
Right.

Shannon (20:01.292)
Right, exactly.

Shannon (20:09.835)
Yes.

Shun (20:19.094)
you know, or value your partners and equally respect each other as individuals, you can certainly live in healthy whole relationship. And healthy doesn't always mean you agree on everything or every day's good, or you won't get bored or even dislike. I look at Jimmy some days like he get on my nerves, but it does mean you can respectfully and I'm sure he says about me. Matter of fact, I've heard him a couple of times. He knew I was on, but it is, it is what it is.

Shannon (20:35.706)
Thanks for watching.

Shannon (20:39.478)
Yeah, yeah. Mm hmm. Oh yeah.

Shun (20:45.482)
But it does mean you can respectfully agree to disagree at times. In my experience with relationships, and just recently in my own marriage, I found that peace is best accomplished by not letting egos and tempers lead the mood in your home, but instead lead with love on a daily.

Shannon (20:50.586)
Right.

Shannon (21:02.598)
Right, right. And I told you this, and I know we just wrapped up, but just one extra point. Sean, you and I talked about this a few weeks ago. I saw Michelle Obama down at the Essence Festival in New Orleans one year. And she was talking about, of course, Barack Obama. And she says, you all know Barack, I know Barry, because that's what she calls him. And she says, there are days.

Shun (21:18.97)
Mm-hmm. Right.

Shun (21:27.568)
Right, right, right.

Shannon (21:31.034)
to this day where I can't stand to hear him breathe. So for those of you all looking from the outside in, you would think, oh, she buried to Barack Obama and everything, you know, whatever. No, there will still have to be days where you just shake your head and wait for tomorrow. Yep.

Shun (21:35.47)
telling.

Shun (21:52.627)
That's it I promise you let me go to bed early just so I got to see him no more if I could just go To bed at night. I can my marriage can live another day. I promise you I get it. Oh I get it That's a great reference that's and that's and that's Barack Obama, okay girl so you can imagine what these regular ninjas got going on out here, but uh That's a great Just live to see another day, honey

Shannon (22:00.306)
Right, right, exactly, yeah, yeah.

Shannon (22:09.6)
Yeah, yeah.

I'm sorry.

Shun (22:19.867)
Alright, so we're gonna transition to the next segment of our show

Shannon (22:27.375)

Shannon (25:26.862)
Yeah.

Shannon (25:33.707)
Alright, thank you for that. Alright, here we go. Tonight, the fictional family I am feeling. I'm gonna take you way back. Before I was born actually. Because she'll be like, how old is she? Well, never mind how old I am. Anyway, I'm going back to the 60s. I mean, actually I was born in the 60s, but not when this show came out. So this is...

Shun (25:48.353)
it

Shun (25:52.226)
I went I went born

Shun (25:58.912)
I don't know.

Shannon (26:01.998)
The Nelson from I Dream of Jeannie. You all remember Jeannie and Major Nelson. Love Larry Hagman and Barbara Eden. So as we know, they had a true master, servant or whatever, she's a Jeannie, but she called him her master of relationships, similar to what we were talking about tonight, but trying to be submissive in all of that. The good thing about,

Jeannie and Major Nelson is that he would always tell her to stay out of things and she would anticipate his needs, which is what we should do as married folks. If we have mutual submission, we anticipate each other's needs and we come through, even if the husband says, no, I don't need you for that. Or you tell him, I don't need you for that.

Shun (26:52.684)
Mm-hmm.

Shannon (27:01.21)
There are plenty of times that they might see something we don't see and they come through and save us in the end. Well, Jeannie did this all the time for Major Nelson. So this particular episode, him and his best friend, Roger, had a new drill sergeant played by, I think it was Don Rickles, really? Yeah, yeah, Don Rickles. But anyway, he was a drill sergeant, he trying to break them, you know, putting them through.

all of this rigorous exercise and maneuvers and all these things. And it broke them down. And, uh, at the end of the day, Major Nelson wanted to go to bed. He's like, Oh, I'm so wore out. I'm sore. And Jeannie's like, but no, you promised you'd take me dancing. So he's like, Oh, I guess I did. So they go out to go dancing and, and they're falling asleep at the table, him and his best friend and she's like, come on, let's dance, let's dance. And so finally they get up and she gets them to dance.

And the drill sergeant just happens to be there. And he looks at them and he says, oh, I guess I didn't put y'all through enough. If you're able to dance after all I've done to you, tomorrow, you're really gonna get it. Yes. So the next day as they're getting ready to go, they're aching, they're sore, they're beat down, they're just.

Shun (28:10.19)
I'm going to go ahead and close the video.

Shun (28:15.726)
gonna turn up. We're gonna turn it up.

Shannon (28:29.142)
You know, really dragging and Jeannie feels so bad because she realized if she hadn't made them go, you know, out and got them to dance, it wouldn't, they wouldn't be in the situation. So she says, let me, let me stop this, meaning use my magic, you know, my Jeannie powers and stop it. And he says to her, no, we're soldiers. We got to go through this. We got to do you stay out of it.

I command you to stay out of it is what he told her. But of course, so they go dragging out the doors. But of course, if you watch the show, you know she's not gonna listen because she knew he needed her help. So she uses her genie magic to get them out of the rigorous pain and suffering and everything that they were going to go through. And you know.

against his wishes, against what he wanted. And in the end, he was very thankful. He was very grateful that she thought enough of him to come through and take care of his, yeah, save the day. She saved the day, rescued him. And a lot of times in marriage, it's that same thing. We know our partner well enough, and we know that what we're doing isn't going to necessarily rock the boat, because sometimes we couldn't give.

Shun (29:33.867)
rescue.

Shannon (29:52.206)
get a little out of order because we might think we know something a little more than they do. But if we know our partner well enough to know, hey, this is a way I can make his life a little easier, or this is a way I can make her life a little easier, save the day. Go ahead and save the day. That does not mean you're not being submissive and it doesn't mean you're trying to take over the lead. You're trying to, you know, better the life for your partner and show some love.

Shun (30:08.59)
Absolutely.

Shannon (30:21.758)
and compassion to the person you've committed yourself to. And that.

Shun (30:26.57)
And just like you said, Shannon, when you've been, I'm sorry, girl, go ahead. And not, oh, I was just saying, when you've been together long enough, sometimes you do know your partner better than they know themselves too. So you can anticipate that, but I'm sorry, I thought you were done. Go ahead. Okay.

Shannon (30:30.302)
Oh no, I was about to end it. Go ahead.

Shannon (30:36.81)
Yes, yep, yep That's right No, I am. Yeah, I was done. So i'm glad you jumped in. Um So that is the fictional family that i'm feeling this week So for those of you who have never heard of yeah for those of you never heard of i dream of jeannie I know a lot of people aren't even they weren't even born in the 90s that are listening to this But for those of you who've never heard of it go look it up
