00:00 Because of the setup of this blended family, I became a more mature person.
00:07 I think most of you know that I'm in a blended family.
00:17 And by God's grace, it's working.
00:19 We're happy. I have no complaints.
00:23 And it just takes a lot of effort.
00:27 Like, when I started with Jamie, before we got married,
00:35 I didn't just court him. I courted his two boys.
00:40 And by loving their mother so much, their respect for me became normal.
00:49 And we had a relationship with my two boys.
00:55 And I treat them as my own.
00:58 It's just a decision of making good choices.
01:07 I think I said this earlier.
01:11 Your choices may be good, there will always be consequences to the things that are blended family.
01:20 So, me and Jamie just have to be ready for whatever life will give us.
01:29 Ready and prepared.
01:32 In terms of having a blended family, I think...
01:39 I hope that matters.
01:45 It's just common sense, right? Past is past. And you have to move forward to your present life.
01:53 So, just deal with what you have right now.
01:57 And deal with it accordingly.
02:00 Remove the drama and the past. Move on.
02:06 Give it your best shot.
02:13 Bring your learnings from the past and bring it to the present.
02:19 So, that's it.
02:20 May I add?
02:22 Because of the setup of this blended family,
02:26 I became more mature.
02:30 Because it takes a lot of maturity to understand her past, past traumas, healing together.
02:40 And of course, our mission and vision, not only for the kids, but also for our love.
02:48 Where will our relationship go?
02:54 And the feeling of security that no matter what happens,
03:04 knowing her past and she knows mine.
03:10 We both respect each other as individuals.
03:16 And like what Christine said, we just have to stumble forward and be prepared.
03:28 Because we have a lot of obstacles in life.
03:36 It's not all flowers and...
03:39 But if you have a strong mind and faith to God, you'll make it.
03:47 Yeah.
03:49 I've been married to my wife for 5 years.
03:55 And long... No, not yet.
03:58 5 years.
04:02 5 years, that's my longest relationship.
04:04 6 years and a half now, 5 years.
04:07 I've learned a lot from my partner.
04:12 I'm very open.
04:14 And we can all see it.
04:17 Thank you, thank you, Jamie. Love you.
04:20 Love you.
