00:05 We were just talking about Vinh. How is he? How is married life?

00:09 Married life is the best life.

00:11 It's the best life.

00:12 Yeah, it's the best.

00:13 How is Vinh as a husband?

00:16 He's the best. Not a lot of people know that he's just so sweet.

00:21 And I don't think I can think of anything else I would want in a partner.

00:27 Because he's so understanding, he's so sweet, he's so affectionate.

00:31 He's a good provider. He really takes care of me and my daughter.

00:36 That's good.

00:37 Hands down, he's really a good man.

00:39 He's a good man.

00:40 Max, tell me what you know about love and marriage.

00:45 I've never been married but long term relationship currently.

00:50 [laughs]

00:54 You asked earlier, is love enough?

00:57 I will go there.

00:59 But first, at this point in your life, what do you know?

01:02 What do you know about marriage and love?

01:07 What I've learned about partnership and love is that it takes a lot of work to prolong it.

01:16 Because not every day is going to be a honeymoon stage.

01:20 So you really have to put in the work and you have to make that conscious choice every day.

01:25 And decide to go through the patches. They're just rough patches.

01:29 There are some.

01:30 There are some. You can't avoid it.

01:33 In the beginning, in the middle, and when it ends, and we hope it doesn't.

01:38 But there are a lot of rough patches.

01:41 Now, in the context of your happy marriage with Vin, is that a happy day every day?

01:48 Are you fighting? Are there challenges?

01:52 You know, Tito Boy, we've been together for 10 years.

01:55 So I feel like we've been through the times that are super lovey-dovey, like a honeymoon every day.

02:01 We've also been through the times that when we see each other, it's irritating.

02:06 [laughs]

02:07 But in the end of the day, we want our family to be whole and that's what makes us happy.

02:13 So, um.

02:15 But thank you for saying that. There are days when you love someone but you're just so irritated.

02:21 Correct. Or like, you just see it and you're like, "Ah, there he is again."

02:25 Did it happen to you? Does it happen to you?

02:28 Yes, of course.

02:29 Do you articulate, do you verbalize it?

02:31 Like, "You know, I'm so irritated with you right now."

02:34 There are times when I do or when he does, there are also times when we're just like,

02:38 "Can we just not talk to each other today?"

02:41 Does he understand? Does he understand that?

02:45 I believe so. Actually, in terms of, to be completely honest, in terms of being vocal about I need space,

02:52 it's actually more of my partner.

02:54 Oh, okay.

02:55 I'm more of the one who kind of wants to discuss it right away.

02:58 Okay. Let's go to the next question.

03:00 Is love enough for one to stay in a marriage?

03:06 I think not, but I also think that the true meaning of love is being able to choose the same person

03:16 regardless of how many rough patches you go through.

03:19 That, for me, is what love really is.

03:21 But if it's just about the feeling of being sweet all the time and feeling all the rainbows and butterflies

03:26 and concentrating on all the positives or how this person makes you feel as a person,

03:30 I don't think that that's enough.

03:32 Because in the long run, you really will have moments where you can't stand each other

03:36 and you have to make the conscious choice to go through that.

03:40 But if I were to follow that, what you're trying to say is,

03:44 in the end, you're still making the decision that I choose you.

03:48 You're different. What makes you walk away in a relationship?

03:52 How do you, before I go to Sophie, how do you, what makes you say, "I'm done. Goodbye."

03:58 When I lose that feeling of wanting to choose the person, it's also, if that makes sense,

04:03 of course, betrayal, of course.

04:05 Betrayal, you mean cheating?

04:08 Cheating, yeah, betrayal, stuff like that.

04:10 I mean, of course, in the past, I've given up on relationships for those types of reasons.

04:14 But for this one…

04:16 This is different.

04:20 It's different.
