Actually dad and mom aren’t married yet, which is a large part of the issue: should we marry? should we marry right now? after we get all our issues taken care of? And it went superbly because: 1.

Then did the kindness/firmness chart – more issues coming out; developing clarity on the kind of home environment they want 4.
