We're both Alphas. We're both very goal oriented, driven. We're very, you know, we're raised pretty much the same, same background, bad neighborhoods, bad parents, broken marriages, everything. So we're used to fight, fighting for what we wanted. So we were very driven people. But at the same time we got together, we were always used to winning. We wanted to win, win, win, win, win, win at everything that we did. So when we got together, of course, naturally we would fight to win, win, win, win, win. And. And that didn't allow us to grow as a couple. We had to make rules for fights. There's a lot of people that say, I had the perfect marriage. My wife and I don't fight. We've been together for 20 years and we co parent. We have good lives, we're good parents. But really, sometimes I see that there's no passion behind their marriage. There's always room for growth. And sometimes I can say, hey, fights are healthy because you get to know each other and grow together.
