But what about, like arenas, stadiums?

Speaker 1: 1:34

Oh arenas, yeah for sure.

Speaker 2: 1:35

Do you guys still? I still call it Jacob's Field, I don't call it Progressive Field. You're talking about the Cleveland not Cleveland problem, but the naming problems, where everything has changed names like three times wherever the money goes, they change the name yep, absolutely I guess if I put a lot of money into something, I'd be like you dig all right, you're gonna put my name on that sign, right, let them know, I get it, I get it, I get it.

Speaker 1: 1:58

But still business partnership old habits die hard. You know, you're just so used to saying one thing, and then it this microphone is brought to you by the book to saying one thing, and then it, this microphone, is brought to you by the book of james, and then next month, this microphone is brought to you by yeah right exactly so good so we've been in this uh month-long series of men yo for the men bringing it strong guys, are you receiving from this as much as the women are receiving from this?

I feel like we're talking about a lot of problems that guys have in order to become better men for their relationship, for overall, for their well-being we've kept the focus on being constructive and not being destructive, and I think that's the best thing we can do is keep helping guys get better, keep helping ladies get better, taking care of their guy.

Speaker 1: 3:03

Yeah, and so where we said for the guys, the message is for both.

Speaker 2: 3:07

Speaker 1: 3:37

Today is about understanding your woman and being motivated, being driven to really see things through her eyes in a healthy way.

Speaker 2: 3:40

Yes, what does that look like?

Speaker 1: 3:41

It looks like empathy.

Speaker 2: 3:42

Okay.

Speaker 1: 3:43

More than anything, it looks like empathy. What does that?

Speaker 2: 3:45

look like. It looks like empathy.

Speaker 1: 3:45

Okay, more than anything it looks like empathy, explain it it's. It's the classic do unto others as you want others to do unto you, yeah, right, but for the guys it's not do unto others, it's do unto your wife as she would want done unto her, not as you would want done unto her this is a whole other tongue.

Speaker 2: 3:59

Twister, bro, you're gonna okay do to do unto others and others will do to do of you right, your wife doesn't want you to do things unto her your way.

Speaker 1: 4:12

Right, she wants you to do unto her her way. I remember one of the first like here we go. I don't know if it was christmases or birthdays where we were together and and I totally went and did, I under delivered on the gifts and I over delivered on my love language, which was words of affirmation, like I think I got you like this fancy card and we were still dating, we weren't even married yet, so it was like I did all this stuff. That was like I would have loved this Right.

Speaker 2: 4:43

Okay.

Speaker 1: 4:44

But you were like it's all right. It was kind of just like a b really and yeah, it wasn't a home run, it was like a I think you didn't sign the card, little single no, it was something I have many cards where it's like, wow, whoever made this card put their whole self into this card.

Speaker 2: 5:01

And then it's like there's no love kyle, there's no happy birthday, there's no I love you, it's just the car and I was like you know what I started to say to myself?

Speaker 1: 5:12

I'm gonna save these cards and give them back to him my mom was such a stickler it's upstairs right now my mom was such a stickler for cards that I do not believe that I would give a card without signing it, without even putting my name. I would at least write Kyle.

Speaker 2: 5:29

I'll put it in the stories in our Instagram. If you follow us when it's time, you'll see the card.

Speaker 1: 5:36

I would be happy to eat crow on this one and prove that I messed up. Get ready and accept it.

Speaker 2: 5:43

Get your adobo.

Speaker 1: 5:44

My adobo Toobo to eat the crow anyways, I say all that to say I say all that to say that understanding how to love your woman is not about understanding how to love like you want to be loved. It's understanding how to love like she wants to be loved yes, we've, we've gone through this.

Speaker 2: 6:03

Do, do, do, do, do. But let's talk about some things that are serious to this topic. Okay, let's talk about the fact that women are constantly changing, constantly changing, okay, from the time that you met them in their dating stage to the time they get married, to the time they choose to have children, if God gives them the will to have children, because, there's more to him thinking about.

Speaker 1: 6:33

You just said women are constantly changing and I think about how there's days where I wake up and Every single day and by the time I get to breakfast it's a whole different. Selena, I will tell you what. No, listen Because the kids put us through the wringer and it's like a whole different person by the time we get to breakfast.

Speaker 2: 6:46

Not only that, Like think about okay, Think about the husband goes to work.

Speaker 1: 6:51

Right.

Speaker 2: 6:52

And the wife sends that steamy text of like I can't wait till you come home. Oh, so then the guy's like yes, like to get down and have some grownup time. By the time you get home, that wife is like please don't bring up that text. I don't know what I was thinking when I sent the text. I'm not there anymore. I don't know what happened to me. I say all that to say women change so much.

Speaker 1: 7:20

So, good.

Speaker 2: 7:20

There's so much there I want to talk about. They change so much in how they feel and what they're going through hormonally. Their body is constantly changing. Their brain is constantly changing because we are always evolving every single month. That's just how God made us, and if you don't take the time to really unpack and understand those changes, it's going to be very, very hard for you to connect with your spouse or your girlfriend on a regular basis.

Speaker 1: 7:51

Okay, so for the guys yes. Right For the guys. I would say, if you're, if, as the wife is me talking for the guys to the ladies Okay, okay, if you're going to send that steamy text. That's awesome, send. Send it, even if it's not gonna be true later, send it. But as soon as that text is not valid anymore, send another one, all right, like psych, psych motorbike.

Speaker 1: 8:18

No, you gotta say it in love, like I meant all those things I said, but such and such has happened that I am just not able to fulfill that. I'm not able to keep up to that. I want that. I felt that for you and I reaffirm him in that. But also, you know, don't let him walk through the door and then get that shot down. Once we're through the door and in person it's, it becomes the expectation is there.

Speaker 2: 8:43

The expectation is there. It creates rejection. There's confusion, there's pressure.

Speaker 1: 8:47

That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 2: 8:48

It's a lot.

Speaker 1: 8:49

You send that clarification as soon as, even if it's two minutes later. I know this is Send it.

Speaker 2: 9:00

I know this is very, we know this, but maybe you guys don't know this. But you know there's that saying like women are spaghetti, men are waffles. I personally like the saying of women are rivers, because anything that gets tossed into your river at the beginning of the day just kind of flows with you throughout the whole day and it's you have to be mindful of that. You also can I say women, you have to do a better job of understanding yourself so that you can communicate with your spouse.

Speaker 2: 9:27

My biggest pet peeve is when we go through something and we don't know what we're going through, and then we expect our person to figure it out for us oh yeah, we can't be a brain, uh yeah we can't figure that out but, also at the same time.

Speaker 2: 9:42

Another biggest pet peeve is for guys who just don't want to hear it like. They just don't grasp the fact that women truly change that much. Women truly are going through physical bodily changes and they don't want to wrap their head around it to understand like, oh, she's moody because of this, not because she's a character right, not because she's a character okay, but because she's genuinely going through physical things so you're telling me for the guys.

Speaker 1: 10:15

You're telling the guys, okay, that sometimes y'all don't know what's going on in your own head.

Speaker 2: 10:19

Absolutely.

Speaker 1: 10:21

Making sure it's out there Sometimes is the key word. That's what's going on.

Speaker 2: 10:25

Sometimes is the key word yeah, yes, Especially because like say, for example, you just had a baby.

Speaker 1: 10:31

And so for the guys, the message there is she don't always know what's going on, so y'all don't always know what's going on.

Speaker 2: 10:35

So y'all don't know what's going on Y'all really don't know what's going on. You know, like, say, for example, you just had a baby and you're going through postpartum. You have no idea what that postpartum is doing to you, how long it's going to last, how effective it's going to be in your mood, in your body, in your energy, in all of the things. You have no idea. You're just there on the ride.

Speaker 1: 11:00

So break this down. For me, as someone who has had multiple children, was it different for each kid?

Speaker 2: 11:05

Every single time, the pregnancy is different, the postpartum is different, bouncing back is different. It's always different.

Speaker 1: 11:15

So I don't obviously I don't talk to women about this Is every woman's? Oh, who asked this the right way? Have your other. When you talk to your friends about this, is it the same where it's unpredictable and or some women, have it's been the same?

Speaker 2: 11:27

think about it like this are the children the same? Right if the children not right so their chemical makeup, their dna makeup, their genetic, all of their things, yeah, we were meshing with you, right? So if their child is, different if they're not three same people. It's different every time.

Speaker 1: 11:46

So that for the guys that woman coming out of having a baby is going to be 100% different and have an unknown transition time back to whatever her new normal is.

Speaker 2: 13:07

Yes. So let's say there is a woman who's like oh yeah, every single time it's exactly the same. I'm always, it's always this. I know what to expect. Jackpot Cannot. It's not true, okay, because the timing of their season is different. Ooh, what does that mean? That means where they're at in life, their age is different, their season is different, their home life could be different. The addition from one child to two, or two to three, or three to four is different. You're never stuck in the same place, and so something there's always going to be a different factor that's going to affect that woman.

Speaker 1: 13:41

So, as a dad, as a guy, when the kid comes right and this is just me being a guy who's a guy I knew that life was going to change because now there was a kid. Yeah, my expectation was not life was going to change because now my wife was going to be right, drastically different right.

Speaker 1: 13:57

My friend was going to be drastically different right, and so I think that's a huge thing to understand and expect for a guy absolutely I don't think we hit on it enough that that in like fatherhood preparation, that, hey, even though the kid is going to change the dynamic in the house, your wife's change, just from having a baby, you know, is gonna change the dynamic in the house absolutely. And so that's, that's a huge expectation for guys to understand. Is that to be empathetic to your wife, like we started the episode talking about? You're going to have to. There's going to be all these changes that you're not ready for, but not Expecting. Not expecting right.

Speaker 2: 14:40

I know we talked a lot about the unexpected things that happen when a woman turns into a mother.

Speaker 1: 14:45

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 14:50

But that's just the seasonal thing, right? That's just the one or twice in a lifetime thing, three in a lifetime, depending on how many children you're having family planning. That's just one chapter, let's talk about the unexpected things that happen every month.

Speaker 1: 15:04

Okay.

Speaker 2: 15:05

Let's talk about the emotional part of your woman.

Speaker 1: 15:07

You mean like the ant flow?

Speaker 2: 15:11

Yes.

Speaker 1: 15:11

That kind of thing, yes, the cycle thing, yes, okay.

Speaker 2: 15:14

Yes. So I don't know why this is a popular trendy thing right now, but a lot of people are finally understanding the luteal phase.

Speaker 1: 15:23

I think it's a great trend. I know where you're going here, but I think it's a great trend.

Speaker 2: 15:27

Why is it all of a sudden a thing when women have always had it? Why is it just now being explained?

Speaker 1: 15:32

my theory would be that, as a as a whole, we're being more okay with mental health. Okay, and talking about where we're at mentally, where we're at emotionally, even even in kindergarten. What color emotion are you dealing with right now? Right, yeah yeah, and so the more we can understand I mean, this is, I'm not breaking any news here the more we can understand about our mental and our emotions, the more transparent we can be with those, the better the people around us can understand us and work with us and show empathy and show connection.

Speaker 2: 16:05

So to give you guys a brief understanding of this monthly thing, for the guys, I don't necessarily use the term luteal, I don't use ovulation season, I use my own terms. Okay, think about it like this yeah, and it's been forever.

Speaker 1: 16:18

I remember you starting this way back when we were dating.

Speaker 2: 16:21

Yeah just to figure, just to help you understand me. Yeah, you have your flow. The flow is the flood. Hmm, the flow is the flood.

Speaker 1: 16:30

Very obvious right, very clear.

Speaker 2: 16:31

The flow is the flood. I'm flooding. That's it After the flood right.

Speaker 1: 16:36

I appreciate your transparency here.

Speaker 2: 16:38

You're Bible reading people. We know about the flood. After the flood, what happens? Rainbow Right?

Speaker 1: 16:45

The rain stops what happens?

Speaker 2: 16:50

Rainbow, the rain stops, rainbow. That following week she's all rainbows, she's happy, she's energetic, she's in a great mood. That's the perfect time to get close and intimate. That's the perfect time to do all the fun things After the rainbow fertile season plants are growing, the lands are fertile, everything is sprouting, the sun is shining, spring has arrived. That's when you're like all right, let's, if that's where you're let's plant some seeds.

Speaker 1: 17:17

Let's point yes right, oh, I was that we were doing the farming analogy after that, after that is the storm, storm, storming season.

Speaker 2: 17:27

Everything's gray, everything's lightning, thunder, lots of rain. It's cruddy, it's nobody wants to be outside. It's mopey. That's the season where she don't want to do nothing. She cannot make decisions.

Speaker 1: 17:43

Is this generalization, or is this pretty standard?

Speaker 2: 17:46

Pretty standard. I mean, women, count me if I'm wrong, like tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is how it is. And for you guys asking us where do we want to go to eat during a storm season Y'all going to have that conversation. You're going to be running around in circles because she's not going to know how to decide. It's not because she can't make decisions, it's because you are asking her in her time, when her entire body and brain is shifting. It's overwhelming.

Speaker 2: 18:12

No, I don't know if I want French fries or milkshake or a chicken. But I'll tell you what I don't want and you're making me mad because you keep reminding me of things I don't want.

Speaker 1: 18:21

So for the guys, at this time we we're just supposed to go and do and just throw it at you and say, here, here's what you get, take it or leave it.

Speaker 2: 18:28

There are some men who will take notice and be observant during the, during the sunshine and fertile season. There will be my. There will be guys who will take note of all the things she does Like. I say this because there are guys who are completely oblivious, but there are some guys who take notice of what their girl does, like when she likes to be comforted or when she wants to feel healthy or when she's really tired and energetic. They'll see it in the times when she can make those choices and then, when it comes to the storm season, when she's unable and everything's overwhelming, they're going to pull back from their memory. They're going to pull back from their notes and they're going to be like okay, you mentioned your stomach hurts, you're cramping. Okay, this is your comfort food. That you would do. Let's go here.

Speaker 1: 19:16

I remember sitting down with you and I think this is a great one for the guys. Is the strategy here right? I had to navigate the storm, yeah, and what I? I remember vividly having to sit down with you during the rainbow season, right, and being like, okay. So you know, a few weeks, a couple days ago, this was all like this. You were all feisty. You wouldn't tell me what to do. What do I do? Like we had this conversation. What do I do when you're like that? Like how do you want me to handle you? How do you want me to help you? How can I best help you in that time? Because I didn't want to go through that, banging my head against the wall of her telling me there was no right, there was everything was wrong and there was no win. I remember saying that's literally what I said is I feel like I'm in a no-win situation because I did this and that was wrong, and then I did that and that was wrong, and they were opposites.

Speaker 2: 20:12

And we still want you to keep trying.

Speaker 1: 20:14

So the communication.

Speaker 2: 20:15

It's terrible, I understand.

Speaker 1: 20:17

The communication in the proper part of the cycle will help you to understand her better in the other part of the cycle.

Speaker 2: 20:24

Yes.

Speaker 1: 20:25

That's the takeaway there right, yes, yeah, absolutely. Hallelujah cycle. Yes, that's the takeaway there right, yes, yeah, absolutely, hallelujah.

Speaker 2: 20:34

Yeah, and it goes back to communication. You, I I want to really stress this for the guys yeah, because if you understand the cycle, yeah, you will avoid having arguments. You will understand why she's picking fights with you. You know, because during that storm season she's going to pick fights, because she has all of this animosity in her.

Speaker 2: 20:53

And everything is irritating to her and she doesn't know what she wants. And it's really hard. It's like that movie Inside Out too. We can't control what's inside of our brain and we're trying to release it in some way and sometimes it just doesn't come out in a way that makes sense for anybody and that's hard for us to even process and admit. But if you understand your girl and you understand her cycle, then you'll realize like she's picking a fight, hmm, she's storming. Ah, okay, gonna, give her some grace, I'm going to be a little patient, I'm not going to entertain the fight.

Speaker 2: 21:26

Right, she can't make her like let me be more cushiony with her, let me be a little more nurturing, for her in this season versus a different part of the cycle where you're like, no, this is valid, she knows what she's talking about. We're going to we're going to talk about this in a more mature way, or I know when to sugarcoat things and serve her in a in a more fluffier way, versus I'm going to take her out and do this and be totally spontaneous and she's going to roll with it.

Speaker 2: 21:53

You know, like understanding where she is when she's there, with the exception of, like menopause, perimenopause, motherhood, postpartum pregnancy, all of those crazy stages, right Understanding where she is.

Speaker 1: 22:07

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 22:08

Can really help you in those other hard seasons it all goes back to the same takeaway is communicating ahead. So game planning right, we talk about, we talk about the, the love by faith playbook. Yeah, the, the game plan is to communicate ahead of the game. Right, then, you're gonna go through it and then communicate after the game so that the next time you're better, the next time you get through it. It's so good, it sounds, it sounds so basic when I say it out loud, but it's. It is that communication ahead, getting through through the game, and then communication after and this is just be better for the next one this is just the conversation of hormones.

Speaker 2: 22:48

Okay, we did not touch on depression, we did not touch on anxiety, we did not touch on stress, we did not touch on any of those things, but the same thing can be applied to those things.

Speaker 1: 23:01

Sure.

Speaker 2: 23:02

The same thing can be applied, because those will put you in places where it's going to be very hard to get out of.

Speaker 1: 23:09

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 23:09

And, as a couple, you have to determine is it worth fighting for? Is this not? For me, If you're married, you're like. Let's reevaluate the commitments we made to each other. Let's focus on how we can get better so that when we grow older, this is less of a problem.

Speaker 1: 23:25

Yeah, I think the spiritual takeaway goes into praying through these seasons right, being full of the Holy Spirit, so that when it's time for the Holy Spirit to help you, your helper, the Holy Spirit is our helper, is our counselor. When it's time for you, as the guy, to be led by the Holy Spirit, you are in tune with it, so that you hear it and you're able to move and be ready to go. If you're just in that moment under that, you hear it and you're able to move and be ready to go. If you're just in that moment under pressure, trying to pray and say Holy Spirit, guide me, you could be so overwhelmed that it ain't going to happen.

Speaker 2: 23:56

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 23:57

But being in tune with that ahead of the game, being in tune with that when it is the rainbow season, will help you to stay ready. Stay ready so you don't have to get ready with the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 2: 24:07

And not only that, for women to help your guys. Being in tune with the Holy Spirit will let you know like, hey, you have to be a little humble.

Speaker 2: 24:16

Your man is not your savior. He does not know your heart, he does not know your mind, he does not know your ways, right? So communicate, communicate, over communicate. If it's embarrassing, then how do you think you guys are going to get through life if you're married? If it's embarrassing to talk to him about it, how are you ever going to grow old and get through life with him if he is not able to get into the inner parts of you?

Speaker 1: 24:39

For me, I would say for couples good little building block If you're dealing with this is too embarrassing to talk about with my husband, right? Maybe the big thing is too embarrassing to talk about with my husband, right, maybe the big thing is too embarrassing right now. But start small, start with that embarrassing. You know what happened to me today. It was so embarrassing. I tripped over the sidewalk, I spilled my water on my desk at work, right, the the little things. And I had to, and I had to go to it to get a new keyboard because I ruined my keyboard at work. Start with the little embarrassments so that when the big embarrassments come, you're able to say, hey, this is really embarrassing, this is really uncomfortable for me to talk about with you. But because I've talked to you about other embarrassing, uncomfortable things, boom, this is not that uncomfortable, it builds.

Speaker 2: 25:22

The last thing I want to leave you guys with is our ministry is centered around the Bible verse and they are together the husband and wife are together and they were naked and unashamed.

Speaker 2: 25:32

And so you're constantly trying to get into this place that God created of marriage, before sin, before the fall, which is a place where you can be naked and unashamed with your spouse If you're dating. That is the goal. If you can't find a way to feel naked and unashamed with that person, if it's just too hard, if there's just too many things that got in the way where you're like I can't, that might not be your person. You have to strive to be at a place where you can be so fully transparent that, even if you don't know what's happening to your body, even if you don't know what's happening to your mind, you can at least talk about where you are and what you need with that person, knowing that he's going to take care of that and he's going to try to help in this partnership, so that you guys can get through it together in a place where you don't have to feel ashamed about it or feel embarrassed to talk about it.

Speaker 1: 26:30

Embarrassment we talked about the building blocks to get to sharing the deep embarrassment and the transparency is the same way. You start by being transparent with the small stuff.

Speaker 2: 26:38

So, guys, if you don't want to understand your girl at this level, there's a problem. There's a problem with you and her, there's a problem with you and her, there's a problem with the relationship and that needs to have a conversation. That's right.

We pray for our couples out there that they would be able to take what they hear and apply it, that they would be humble enough to communicate with each other, to be transparent with each other and to put the energy and effort into understanding each other so that they can get better as a couple. And, lord, we just pray over them now that if they need the help, if they need to go a step further and bring in a third party, that they would be willing and try and reach out to someone who would guide them with Bible-based principles and with your Holy Spirit, and we just thank you, lord, for making that available.
