WHAT?! You haven’t met my parents?! A few things to note: Emerson and Sarah only wear black, they’ve been married 40+ years, and when they met, my mother thought my dad was funny looking, dressed weird and wasn’t funny at all. Oh, and they started Love and Respect.
Hear more of that plus the reason they work hard, parenting advice, why our family loves cemeteries and a few other weird things.

Glad you enjoyed Crystal! That’s so helpful for you and your husband to have those conversations now. You’ll be great parents.
Why do they only wear black?

27:19- Imitating or compensating for our upbringing: Super helpful! Thank you for that encouragement. My husband and I often discuss harmful traits from our own families that we don’t want to pass along to our own children someday.
