And that was very transformational in our marriage.

It was very transformational for me just as a wife, as a partner.

But it also gave me the space to not live in a pressure cooker because I can live in a pressure cooker forever.

No matter what the circumstances are, I can just do that to myself.

And I still have my moments where I really want to turn up the heat on myself and say, but you're not doing this and you haven't made that.
