This week Marissa is thinking about football (2:05). Previously an avid fan, Marissa hasn’t been tuning in for the past few seasons as a way to stand in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick and his protests. With the uncertainty surrounding COVID, she wonders if football is coming back at all, and even if it is, will she watch? James spends time recalling a recent dining experience that left him concerned that not all businesses are making the same effort to keep patrons safe through the pandemic (6:21). The fight of the week is prompted by a simple question: do you like your new doors (11:20)? Recently, the Paines underwent home renovations under the direction of a professional organizer and her team. James had reservations about the process initially that weren’t entirely relieved by the finished product. The big idea this week focuses on the danger of 2 common absolutes and James provides 2 major reasons to never use them in your relationships (18:13). For homework, James asks that you notice just how often you use these absolutes in your relationship and make a serious attempt to reframe the language (26:04). Finally, the Dr. and Mrs. get a chance to help a listener who needs advice on maintaining boundaries within blended families (27:12).
