WARNING: We are a married couple and we're talking about how to love each other. Yes, there are a couple casual references to sex in this episode because we think it ought to be normalized. If this offends you, you probably shouldn't listen.

This week we're talking about Chuck Norris, Thursdays, our kids, bribing children, He is There and He is not Silent, None Like Him, Hoopla, Moby Dick, St. Valentine's Day, The 5 Love Languages, thoughts on how to love your spouse, and being Mexican.
