Welcome to the Rich Relationship Podcast with Gil.

Speaker 2: 0:07

And Renee, where amazing things happen. Our goal is to help build, repair and restore healthy relationships, but tonight we are really thankful for all of you guys who watched and shared and who are part of this community. Tonight we are going to talk about why rich couples don't cheat. I know you've said that's a bold statement, sister. Yes, why rich couples don't cheat, and we talked last week about rich. What rich meant is people who are resilient, who walk in integrity, who lead with compassion and who are driven by or allow humility to shape their life. So those are the people we're talking to.

Speaker 2: 1:02

It's a journey that we're trying to go on a becoming rich, but we're going to talk about why people cheat. Why do people cheat? We're talking about why rich couples don't cheat and we're going to show you some of the reasons that people cheat. Why do people cheat? There's a reason why people cheat, and a lot of times, people cheat because of something that's really going on inside of their heart, something that's missing. So we're going to talk tonight about what we need to keep us from cheating.

Speaker 1: 1:37

I think it's important to kind of set the ground Because, based on all of the comments from the shorts and those things, everybody has an ideal and opinion and a viewpoint on relationships and we're in this space because we wanted to invest in people and their relationships, especially people who are just getting started on this journey. Because, let's just be honest, we all have baggage that we drag into our relationships. We all have things that have happened and it's going to impact our relationships today If we don't get new information and new things and new ways of doing things and we welcome you guys for joining us for the property.

Speaker 2: 2:24

Thanks for joining us, thank you, thank you, comment like.

Speaker 1: 2:27

this is a dialogue. We are just talking back and forth with you guys, Because there's a lot of people who like to comment. Rehazement and comments all day, which is great, but we want to make sure that we're just not having comments just for the sake of comments. We always want to bring value and into your relationships, because that's why we do what we do and that's why we invest this time into this time, to invest into all of you guys out there.

Speaker 2: 2:57

Yeah, and we love you guys and we're really great. Our community is growing. We have a surprise. We're going to show that later on, a little bit in the middle but one of the reasons why people rich couples don't cheat is because they have understood and adopted a mutual understanding of what love is, and so what love looks like to each individual person is going to look different. So if you, you know, we all have heard of the five love languages, that's something that's important to do and to know what your love language is, because I know we were younger. That was something we really missed each other a lot on, because I didn't know your love language, you didn't know my love language, and so now we've learned that let's go. I love. I really am grateful for the nature of my husband because he has these wonderful things that he has written out to make this trackable and duplicatable, and we'll also share the notes with you guys. They'll be in the comments and all the link is down in the comments. Put that in the comments.

Speaker 1: 4:09

To review because, as you're going through all the stuff, we try to give you a lot of information, but we always want to, like I said, establish a foundation, and the foundation that we do and just like we've been commenting to Renee's been commenting to people today is the Bible and our relationship with Christ.

Speaker 2: 4:25

Jesus, the word and the blood.

Speaker 1: 4:27

That is the foundation for every relationship, regardless of what you, your background and what you may think. This is what we're coming from. So all we can do is define what we're coming from. First Corinthians, chapter 13. If you're familiar with it, it is the love chapter. And guess what? There, the Bible also has a statement that says there's nothing new under the sun. So, whether you heard that in a song or not, no, it came from the Bible. They just put some nice beats to it in some lyrics to it, but there's nothing new under the sun. And in that sense, because when it comes to love and your relationships, you are unique. Your situation is not, and you know how this topic came up.

Speaker 2: 5:06

I asked Gil, cause we've been married for 35 years. I have never cheated on Gil.

Speaker 1: 5:12

And of course I have not cheated on Renee.

Speaker 2: 5:15

And so I asked him I said well, why haven't you cheated? You know, why haven't you? And I know I answered and I said you know, there's reasons why people cheat and I always I really believe that it is an internal thing, it really doesn't have anything to do with the other person, but it can help when you kind of have some guidelines. I don't think that people are human, people are people and I know we first got married. I always say if you cheat on me, it's to death. Do us part and I'm going to kill you. And I used to say that all the time. And then I realized we were telling our daughter that, like we can't take.

Speaker 1: 5:52

We got to change that.

Speaker 2: 5:55

So, of course, I've grown, I matured, I realized that sometimes people cheat and it has nothing to do with you, and that's when you have to be able to extend grace, depending on where you are, and we see lots of different ways of people dealing with it.

Speaker 1: 6:07

So let's jump into it and give you some of the things that we're talking about as it pertains to Equipping you to not have to or want to cheat.

Speaker 1: 6:16

The topics is and we kind of narrowed it down to three main ingredients when it comes to your relationships, that is a gauge for if you're being fulfilled in these three areas, there's a high likelihood, or I should say a low likelihood, that you will step outside of your relationship. Starting out with and Renee came up with this because we started out with this conversation and the three key elements are Because I said baby, why have you never cheated on me?

Speaker 2: 6:42

I said, because my needs are met.

Speaker 1: 6:44

I was like that's right, oh, okay. But when you break it down even more, when you talk about your needs, what are those needs? The needs break down into three areas, and those three areas are love, nurturing and support. Yes, and we're gonna break each one of those down for you a little bit deeper, but everybody thinks about love in different contexts.

Speaker 2: 7:06

But most people think about love and they're thinking about emotions, they're thinking about feelings. We're not talking about that. We're talking about the love. That is an emotional connection.

Speaker 1: 7:17

Right.

Speaker 2: 7:18

We're talking about love, that is, that you make a conscious decision to extend yourself, to yield yourself to someone, the love that we're talking about. It makes you feel valued. What's one of the? Someone put it in the comments. They said man, you can always tell when a woman is being loved properly because of the way she glows. And I really believe that when you're loved and respect and honored, it really does. It shows in the way you live your life. It shows in a way that you even communicate with each other.

Speaker 1: 7:52

So, as you're putting it in the comments and I'm kind of reading them as we go, so if you do have a question or a comment or something you wanna put in there, if it's within the boundaries and the taste of what we're talking about, yes, we will shout it out. We will call it out. People are asking for shout outs. Well, if you wanna shout out, put a question up, put a comment in, and then we will shout you out?

Speaker 2: 8:11

And where are you shouting us out from? Where are?

Speaker 1: 8:14

you at. I'll put it this way we're going to shout you out if you engage and if you add value to the conversation. How about that? So we'll shout you out in that context. But if you do have a question and just like you're saying here, if it's a genuine question, even if it's insensitive, we can talk about it and we'll review it and see it and if it is something that we think that will bring value to other people who are watching, then, yeah, we'll definitely bring it up.

Speaker 2: 8:40

But if you have a question that you believe is sensitive, reach out to us. Our email is richrelationshiprefuge at gmailcom or you can go to help at richrelationshererefugecom, because we do want to help you. But this is not a session. This is a time where we can talk and dialogue, but sometimes some topics are too sensitive to do an open platform like that. So, because this is what we do, we don't ever want to put anyone on blast.

Speaker 1: 9:06

Yep, so when we talk about it. So Rene already talked about the emotional connection.

Speaker 2: 9:10

So I'm going to just throw something with that saying.

Speaker 1: 9:12

From my experience and those around me, I've noticed that black people tend to be homophobic around me. I'm just curious why that seems to be the case with that community. Can't answer that one when we're talking about it. So what we're talking about? I would need more context in what you're talking about. But when we're talking about this in the context of the relationship, we're talking about it from why people are cheating.

Speaker 1: 9:38

That's what we're trying to do is stay on topic and not veer off into rabbit holes, because we can go down a rabbit hole and we won't get to cover and talk about the things that people are kind of engaged about. So, no, no, it's no reason to apologize. We just want to make sure we just kind of level everything when it comes to the comments. So when we talk about it. Rene already mentioned the emotional connection and hopefully you may get an answer to your question as we go through these things about it. When it comes to relationships, intimacy people hear that word and that term and they think automatically the first thing they usually gravitate to is sex. We're not talking about that type of intimacy. Why don't you elaborate a little bit on the intimacy we're talking about?

Speaker 2: 10:20

Well, it's important to understand that intimacy emotional, spiritual Intimacy can lead to sex, but you can have intimacy without sex Because, basically, intimacy is the ability to be, to be, to know yourself and be known. It's to be vulnerable, it's to be transparent and that's what's important to cultivate, because what we see in our generation, in this generation, we see people being sexually intimate but not emotionally, like you can have sex with someone. They don't know your middle name, they don't know how much money you made, they don't know your birthday, they don't know your favorite ice cream. So it's important that you develop emotional and spiritual intimacy before you just jump into sexual intimacy, because that again goes back to your feelings.

Speaker 1: 11:10

Yep and go ahead, no, go ahead. So we want to.

Speaker 2: 11:12

we want to kind of help you to have a love that is sustainable and a love that is genuine, and that is not a feeling, that is a choice.

Speaker 1: 11:20

And when you think about the intimacy, it really starts out with you being kind of like what my shirt say a little bit about being hot, honest, open and transparent. The hotter you can be with somebody that's where you really establish intimacy with that person and the more hot you are with that person guess what? Sex is going to play a very small role in it. It's a very beautiful role in marriage and I was getting boy say that, girl say that.

Speaker 1: 11:48

We want to quantify everything that we're talking about it from that to yeah within marriage.

Speaker 1: 11:52

Another thing that you, when we talk about it, when it comes to love, is you actually have to value the other person, your partner, that you're in the relationship with. If that person is not feeling valued, they don't have the emotional connection, they don't have the intimacy, they're not feeling like they're valued. Guess what they're going to do? They're probably going to strike, yeah. So when we talk about value, I'm talking about it from the context of you actually caring about the things that they're caring about.

Speaker 2: 12:17

We're talking about. When he talks to you and he's flirting with you, he makes you blush.

Speaker 1: 12:22

She blushed today. She blushed today. We were talking and she was talking about how you talk to people. But I say, well, when you talk to your significant other, your whole continence and your voice and your inflection and all that.

Speaker 2: 12:37

No, he started off with saying do you still, if you not still get butterflies or something?

Speaker 1: 12:40

Do you get butterflies in your stomach when you with your partner? I'm telling you, if you still don't get butterflies after 35 years, I still get butterflies with Renee. There are certain things that she may say or that she may do. You still blush, you still get butterflies. And she got it right then and she was like arguing y'all. She was arguing and then I put on the phone call voice. You know that voice, See, she's laughing, the voice that you have when you call in your significant other.

Speaker 1: 13:07

You remember, go back to when you were dating and when you were courting, However you want to describe it, when you're trying to get with this person, you know you put on that voice. She starts to see she's doing it. But you put on that voice and, ladies, y'all know, y'all get a little bit more smoother, a little sexier with the yeah. See, she's saying yeah now, but she wasn't saying that oh see, hold on, Send me down.

Speaker 1: 13:34

We're going to keep it. We're going to keep it nice. We're going to keep it nice. Let's move on. Let's talk about mutual respect. We talked about that. Oh, did you talk about mutual respect?

Speaker 2: 13:45

Let's go to. So we talked about love, so there's three things we're going to talk about tonight. The first one is love. I kind of broke love down, so now we're going to talk about the word that gives us like people don't like that word because it sounds weak.

Speaker 1: 13:57

The word is nurture, nurture, nurture. From a guy's perspective, guys, I mean, if you're out there, hit me up. I mean say I thought, even just thinking about it, I was like nurture, that's a woman thing. Ain't nobody nurturing that thing?

Speaker 2: 14:13

Everyone needs to be nurtured.

Speaker 1: 14:14

But then you know what, when she said that, I started thinking about it this afternoon and I looked up the word, and when you really think about it, you want to be doing this in your relationship, because what it really talks about is care and encouragement for development, positive those types of things.

Speaker 2: 14:31

So you definitely want to nurture your relationship when you think about it, and some of the ways you can nurture your man is to tell him that you're proud of him, that you love him. Another way you can nurture him is, like y'all saw, I made a video. I was making some chicken salad. He told me he wants some chicken salad. I made him some chicken salad. Nurturing is a form of serving that meets more than just a physical need. It meets an emotional need. It meets a need because guess what? That's what we all grew up being exposed to it's being nurtured. And so a lot of times people will say, oh, he married someone like his mom. Well, if your mom was nurturing, then that's what you're going to look for, and unfortunately, sometimes that was absent, and so one thing that I wanted to bring in, even in this comment, is it made me think about.

Speaker 1: 15:22

Renee is into gardening. She started to garden again since we just moved back to Texas. She's in here and she's got a little patio garden. She's working on it. But I thought about it.

Speaker 1: 15:32

When you think about nurture, think about it in this context and in the context of your relationship, but with the ideal of a garden. And when we say that, I'm talking about when you plant a garden, the first thing you do is plant seeds. Yes, Just like in your relationship, when you're dating or you're just getting started, you should be planting positive seeds, the things that you want to grow. Emphasize that point the things, the positive things that you want to grow in your relationship, Because what's going to happen is life is going to take over and these things called weeds are going to come into your garden and choked out the seeds.

Speaker 1: 16:08

If you don't care for your garden. Think about it in what we're talking about nurturing If you're not caring for your garden, the weeds are going to come and choke it out. Just like in your relationship, If you're seeded and you're positive and you're growing and you're watering and you're nurturing your garden and then those seeds come and you don't take care of them. Guess what's going to happen? It's going to choke out the relationship, or it's going to lead you to say you know what? I'm going to get a new garden and you know what that means.

Speaker 2: 16:37

Yeah, and normally the grass always looks greener on the other side and sometimes it's greener because you're just not over there and so it's just important that we realize that we bring Gil set at the beginning. We all bring a lot of baggage, and so it's better to nurture the garden you already have built and established than to be looking around at other people's lawn. It's important that you nurture, and the thing is that we both men and women both need to be nurtured, and I think that's something that we're talking about. Is that so many times we leave with so many things, the things that we're talking about? If you leave with these three things Because I was like I don't know what make you want to marry me, I don't know, but when I saw this, I was like you know what? Okay, I can understand that.

Speaker 1: 17:22

Yeah, so even as you go even a little bit further with the nurturing aspect, it requires your attention. You have to be attentive and intentional about the relationship If you are just kind of getting a little bit lazy or complacent.

Speaker 2: 17:37

Or you're not pursuing because you're not calling, you're not responding, you're not initiating anything. That's not nurturing, and so this is just something that's supposed to be checking. Am I loving, am I nurturing?

Speaker 1: 17:52

How many times do you neglect or take for granted your partner? When you start taking your partner for granted, that's a sign that some weeds have come in the weed of neglect, the weed of complacency, the weed of boredom. And if you're bored in a relationship, guess who's responsible for kickstarting that thing?

Speaker 2: 18:13

Yeah, you talked about that last week. It's the man's job to lead and love, so that's your role and that's your job. And so a lot of times, men sometimes look to women to do it, and because I was talking to someone, they were saying, these men, they don't even want to pay for anything. I said, sweetie, that's not a man, that's a boy. Because there's things that men know that they are called to do and that you don't have to tell them to do it. And so investing time, investing your attention, is an important part of nurturing a relationship.

Speaker 1: 18:44

So the other part about nurturing is do you support each other in getting better at whatever, whether it's a hobby, a vocation, cooking?

Speaker 2: 18:54

If you know that the other person is trying to lose weight or be healthier, prepare meals for them.

Speaker 1: 19:01

How are you supporting them? I think about when Renee was starting to learn, even to all the tech stuff that she was doing. Believe it or not, renee does a lot of the tech stuff that you see, whether it's on the website, whether it's on YouTube and all those things. That's all Renee, even though I'm in the tech field. That's all Renee. She's doing all that stuff. But guess what? It was because I encouraged her to get more tech savvy. One because I got tired of, like, fixing a computer and stuff like that. I'll be honest with you Future man to fish. But she done took it far beyond even my capabilities right now, and this is what I do for a living. So she's far beyond some of the things that she can do tech wise. But what that does is goes back to being nurturing. You're basically positively encouraging the development and the growth of your significant other. Are you doing that? If you're not doing that, guess what?

Speaker 1: 20:00

That's a we. You need to prune that thing, you need to rip it out and say you know what babe or babe goes both ways. You need to. You're doing good at that, or it just encouraging. We talked about the love languages, of words, of affirmation.

Speaker 2: 20:14

And we like the sandwich. Two positive things, one negative thing. I am not going to give Kio five things that he needs to work on, because that's overwhelming. So a part of being nurturing is being mindful of the fact that no one is encouraged by being torn down Right, no one is encouraged by that, and so to nurture them, you have to make sure that you're doing things that are going to build them up and give them the ability to feel like they can accomplish anything when you're together.

Speaker 1: 20:45

When I think about it and I know this is probably somebody's party going to put it in the comments Well, what if that person, what if they don't do it? What if they ain't never encouraging to me? Yeah, that it kind of goes back to what we talked about last week Be first to love, be first to the punch, be first to do the things.

Speaker 2: 21:05

Sometimes, if you want something, you have to plant some seeds, you have to you have to be the change you want to see, and I know a lot of these things that we're saying may seem challenging, and a lot of times it's challenging because we're trying to do it in our own power, and so when you have a relationship with God, he empowers you to do a lot of the things we're saying to do, because you're doing it in his power, not in yours.

Speaker 1: 21:26

And I'll say this part, we've been doing this together thing as far as boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife for 35 or over 40 years now is with each other. We said 38, 39 years, 38 plus years and 35, marry. So I think we're just sharing with you the things that we know worked with us. Now these are just some of the principles. Now you also obviously can take them and make them work for your relationship and massage them around the edges.

Speaker 2: 21:59

But you got to have love, nurturing and support.

Speaker 1: 22:02

Regardless of how it looks like, the way that it's going to look, for each individual couple is going to be different. Yeah.

Speaker 2: 22:07

Because, like my love Languages, words of Affirmation Gills is quality time, physical touch, and so you have to know that. You have to figure out. How does the person I'm with Gilles always says it become a student of the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with, because you're not going to get to know them and know what they want and need if you don't communicate.

Speaker 1: 22:29

And that's going to be a whole another video that we'll do multiple times. We'll do it again, yes, we will. And then the last one we're going to talk about is support. Sometimes that can be kind of overlapping with nurturing, because you're kind of doing some of the same things, but when we talk about support, it's talking about it from the thing of being in a relationship to where you know what are the ups and downs of your partner, what are the things that. Have you ever had that time in that season where you know something is wrong or something is just off or you just don't feel right? Well, you know that because you've been investing, you've been spending time and you've been a student of your significant other. So now you are in a position of supporting them and figuring out what is it that I can do to make their life a little bit easier?

Speaker 2: 23:16

Okay, so I'm going to give an analogy, because you know that's just me when I thought of support ladies. Do you know what it's like to have on a bra that has wire in it versus a bra that doesn't have wire?

Speaker 1: 23:32

Go ahead. I'm just listening to this one.

Speaker 2: 23:36

Support, healthy support is not like a wired bra, because a wired bra it can cut into your skin, it can make you feel uncomfortable but a bra that's like a good sports bra that doesn't have any wire but they hold you like if you're trying to run or do something and nothing is moving around. That's the kind of support we're talking about. We're talking about a support that holds you close but doesn't hurt you, because sometimes we think it's support but it's really controlled. And so we want support. We want to have the ability to give us the freedom I give. He didn't say girl, he was like hairstyle, what you trying to do tech, for that's not supportive, that's so.

Speaker 2: 24:15

So healthy support helps you stretch beyond your capacity and do things that they support, helps you to see things when someone's supporting you. They help you to see things that you don't see in yourself. And I think about these three things are not just for marriage, they're also for relationships. Your friends should love, nurture and support you. Girl, I can't stand you. You get on my nerves. That's not very nurturing. You can't do that. Nobody's ever did it. That's not supporting you, and so we need this in our lives.

Speaker 1: 24:51

And then we're going to move on to empathy. Empathy is another form of support when it comes to your relationship. We talked about it in the context of we mentioned intimacy. Be first, that's being honest, open and transparent. Empathy is putting yourself in your partner's position and trying to get to a point of understanding where they're coming from. Doesn't mean that you're going to always agree, but it does mean you have to listen to them, to understand where they're coming from, to be able to get a perspective about how they see things and how they view things. That's a part of being a student of your spouse. The more you are in that vein, or trying to navigate that area, you're going to find that you're going to be a whole lot more productive when it comes to being empathy. It may not be so quick to just judge or snap or respond before you really understand what's going on.

Speaker 2: 25:41

And I think the thing that I love about empathy and it's something I had to really work on developing is that empathy is I'm listening and I'm present to understand, not to change your view, not to make you see things my way, but to really lend myself in a way where I can help you hear and see things, because I think sometimes men and women bring different things to the relationship.

Speaker 2: 26:06

There's things that I bring that you didn't bring to the relationship, and empathy is understanding that and accepting it and not always thinking that the other person and I know we all have a past and I know we've had things that have happened to us, but we can't keep bringing our past into every single relationship that we're in. We have to sometimes have empathy towards ourselves. We have to be able to lend that same all the things we were saying we're going to give to this other person. I can give you a love and nurture and support, because I give that to myself, and if you're not in a relationship right now, you should be loving, nurturing and supporting yourself. Then that way you know what it feels like for you, because how can we tell somebody what we need when we really don't know what?

Speaker 1: 26:52

you need what we need, and then the last one we're going to give you because Renee's battery is getting ready to die is celebrate the accomplishments when we get to. If you're loving, you're nurturing, you're supporting, and then they're getting better in their development, whatever that looks like, celebrate each other. That's something that I think gets overlooked and overshadowed, because we tend to get complacent again and things that are taking the little things for granted that we think, oh, don't take all that, it ain't that big of a deal.

Speaker 1: 27:23

Well, renee did something and she can talk about it now that she accomplished over the week that it's a big deal.

Speaker 2: 27:29

Well, let's put the. Let's take the. We're going to take our mics off and plug the phone in so we don't die. Let's do that. We just unplugged that, Okay, so we're going to take our mics off. We have our mics on. This is behind the scenes stuff, y'all. We have our mics on because we have a podcast and the sound quality really does matter, but we want to be able to tell you guys what's next.

Speaker 1: 27:50

What are we doing? Hold on, okay, pause Pause.

Speaker 2: 27:53

Look at that. Yay, now we have power. Y'all, we got the power, okay, okay, so you can finish. You want to? You want to finish?

Speaker 1: 28:04
