What You’ll Learn

7:30 Interview Begins

8:00 Waiting Period

John talks about why they waited 10 years to get married. Ana told John that she felt they needed more time, which John thinks was Ana telling him that “he” needed more time. That led to them building a very solid foundation before they got married. 

15:00 Unique emotional history

Ana talks about how everybody brings their unique emotional history to their marriage. So if you had a father who is really critical and can never please him, then when you get married you might either be the critical person or marry someone who is critical, but these are patterns that can be broken.

18:36 The Tree of Marriage

John talks about the image of the tree which they use to represent marriage and explains why just like a tree, marriage needs to be nurtured and cared for. You can kill a tree, you can bring a tree back to life from extreme drought.
