Quotes:

“In a digital media world, it's so easy just to send an emoji a quick text, a video, you know, technology is great and it makes life convenient, but it kind of allows us to cheat a little bit and cop-out on good old fashioned communication.” (Matthew, 9:02)

“if there's somebody you love, this is your number one relationship. You got to look for times that you can tell them they matter. They're important and they occupied that number one slot.” (Matthew, 14:11)

“ I feel like there's specific love languages for individuals as well. And they work not only in your romantic marriage or partnership, they work in relationship in general with other people.” (Drew, 25:45)

“I think as men we're like a laser beam, our attention is very focused and the woman has this innate ability to diffuse the laser and spread it to every single person. She comes in contact through our beauty, through her essence, through who she is. And I think that's super powerful. “ (Drew, 34:40)

“The kindest thing you can do for your partner is to pray for them.” (Matthew, 34:40)

“We have three C’s that we think are kind of foundational commitment, communication, and conflict resolution, and you've got to start with commitment.” (Matthew, 41:31)
