0:00:08.840,0:00:44.595
Oh I'm getting freer than before by watching your video.[br]So thank you so much. And, but I still have a long way to be free.[br]So I have a question about that.[br]So with my wife, I have a really different about perspective and opinion and also about the priority in the life.[br]For example, she want me to clean something right away but I don't want to clean that right away because I have a priority like I have to do the deiches or something others.[br]So

0:00:44.595,0:01:18.565
my question is, should I have to fit in because I asked a lot of people who already marriage it and spent a lot of time and they said you have to fit in because or if other persons don't have a bill to fit in.[br]So that's my question and actually my feeling is I feel bad that she doesn't care about this point because I'm kind of delicate and considerate but she's like a general so she don't think much I think a lot about the life or everything.[br]So

0:01:18.565,0:01:41.710
oh, and one thing I want to mention is it's like marriage so we have to have a consensus in a way almost everywhere.[br]So I just want to let her just being that way but we have to make a consensus in everything.[br]So that's my question. So we have a different perspective and how can I handle this?

0:01:51.791,0:01:58.350
So if you were to get your way and not clean, I mean you might feel better about it but the house is going to be dirty.

0:02:01.805,0:02:04.755
That sounds really good for your education of your children.

0:02:12.816,0:02:21.115
So in a way, if she's good at cleaning, although I'm not as good or as motivated, that's a good thing.[br]So you just feel grateful for it.

0:02:25.188,0:02:34.030
So if she didn't ask you to clean, I mean it's a good thing, right so just follow whatever she tells.[br]I'm like a friend

0:02:40.038,0:02:43.785
yea. So like you follow what your wife tells you basically

0:02:48.672,0:02:54.264
the problem is if you just continue following and doing what your wife tells you, then you end up with stress.

0:03:06.035,0:03:15.440
So if you're really grateful, if you hold this really gratitude for her to be such a good cleaner then you just say I'm sorry but at the same time you hold that gratitude

0:03:19.740,0:03:22.447
and it's the best way for you not to get stressed out.

0:03:30.660,0:03:39.644
But you also have that insistence that you're right that this is not that's important and why getting upset or so obsessed about cleaning so you get stressed out

0:03:43.850,0:03:48.657
and so you know, getting stressed out is actually worse than keeping a clean house.

0:03:51.880,0:03:55.575
So in that sense, OK in that sense, don't listen to your wife

0:04:00.082,0:04:17.456
because it's more important for you not to get stressed.[br]And in that sense the consequences of that are you have to listen to our neg but the question should not be why is she nagging me have to understand that she has the right to nag

0:04:20.818,0:04:23.125
so you just have to apologize.

0:04:27.270,0:04:29.270
That's how you should deal with the situation

0:04:32.380,0:04:45.780
if at all possible. The best solution is for you to listen to but since you're not a slave, you can't listen to everything she tells you.[br]Sometimes you can actually do what you want

0:04:49.370,0:04:54.260
but when you do that, you just apologize to your wife I'm sorry and then you do what you want.

0:05:00.430,0:05:18.420
For example, we have a different opinion about like she really loves to go vacation but I don't want to go and I just want to stay home.[br]So I think there's no good or bad in this situation.[br]So how can we decide about this one?

0:05:23.644,0:05:27.550
So if you want to stay married, it probably better for you to listen to your wife

0:05:32.155,0:05:47.870
but if that's too hard, you can get divorced.[br]A difficult thing. If you get divorced, you're just back to square one because you were never married in the first place before you got married.

0:05:58.284,0:06:07.190
So being married is about kind of compromising and kind of fitting your different perspectives with each other.[br]I mean that's the process of marriage right

0:06:13.194,0:06:30.870
so it's not, you know, two people who fully agree on everything getting together, living together it's two different people who don't agree on everything coming together and learning how to compromise and just step back and just listen and look at how people's relationships are.

0:06:36.372,0:06:58.770
When we meet strangers, we don't expect that they'll be the same as us.[br]You end up saying oh, and you start talking to a stranger and you go, oh, he's Korean too and you feel a little closeness and then you're both Christians you find out so you have a little more in common

0:07:04.207,0:07:15.590
and then you find out you're from the same hometown, same region so you become a little closer and so you ask for each other's hobbies and hobbies are similar too.

0:07:18.950,0:07:22.310
So the more commonalities you have, the more friendly you

0:07:29.195,0:07:33.600
and that relationship may advance so that you become lovers or you get married.

0:07:37.316,0:07:41.228
You know, it's kind of fun when you think how your brain functions.

0:07:51.561,0:08:30.201
So when you actually see find out you have 123 or 10 things in common or 20 things in common your brain automatically goes forward and makes the assumption that everything is the same, that you have everything and so you get married.[br]But when you live together then you start realizing that you have things that's different that's not in you have different ideas of cleanliness that's how spicy your food should be.[br]Then you start kind of finding what you're different from

0:08:35.236,0:08:44.745
and then your brain automatically assumes the opposite that we have nothing in we, our personality we just don't like the same thing

0:08:44.745,0:08:45.864
in Mosargeta

0:08:45.864,0:08:50.290
we can't live together. So that's why you get separated

0:08:54.121,0:08:57.950
because you got married because you found a lot of things in common.

0:09:04.552,0:09:10.580
So after you get divorced after a while, when you start dating again, you start realizing maybe there was a mistake

0:09:26.675,0:09:34.885
while you dated for a short time or you marry somebody after dating for a long time the actual marriage itself living in a marriage relationship is not that different.

0:09:38.808,0:09:42.731
Of course, you might have less in common with a person you only dated for a short time.

0:09:49.456,0:09:59.995
But since your brain hasn't really made that assumption that you're all the same, you have share everything in common you actually start finding things more in common as you live together in marriage

0:10:04.000,0:10:19.725
in a way it's expectation management because you have lower expectations and you're not as disappointed.[br]But after going through a lot of review process, dating for a long time, then your expectation is already super high.

0:10:23.860,0:10:34.980
Once you actually get into a marriage, live together then you realize that the actual marriage itself is lower.[br]Then your disappointment gets relatively larger.

0:10:41.188,0:10:47.060
Whether you marry a stranger off the street or marry somebody who dated for 10 years, marriage is not that different.

0:10:50.695,0:10:55.712
In the olden days, nobody actually saw each other before they got married and you didn't see a lot of divorce.

0:11:01.073,0:11:08.790
But these days you actually date for a long time and even live together before actually deciding to get married.[br]Yet the divorce rate is sky high.

0:11:13.750,0:11:25.240
Marriage is all about knowing that you are different than you are actually coming together in a conference.[br]And what's the easiest way to compromise?

0:11:28.462,0:11:50.918
The easiest way to compromise is for you to give it because you can decide to give it.[br]What's the most difficult to force the other to actually follow your desires and wants in that sense it's not really up to you it's up to the other person to actually adhere to your preferences.

0:11:54.825,0:11:59.870
But most of the times I see everybody chooses the most difficult way, not the easiest way.

0:12:03.345,0:12:06.790
Spiritual practice is all about following the easiest path.

0:12:11.423,0:12:18.310
Since you chose the most difficult path, obviously you're going to be stressed.[br]So I want you to live with that stress.
