We care about the same things.

straight in, and you're, like,

all of a sudden married.

our religion and faith doesn't

I don't know
how many conversations

you've had with him about that.

But I think, so far, that's
been our biggest difference.

- Yeah.

You know, that is an
interesting aspect of all this,

because, you know, I've known
him for, like, 14 years,

and it's rarely come up
with us.

So, like, I consider
myself an atheist,

you know, and he's still
one of my best friends.

- Right.

- It's strange for me because
I've really only heard

this come up recently...
- Mm-hmm.

- When he's been really,
I guess, coming up

with the fact that, like,
what does his religion mean

around marriage specifically?
- Mm-hmm.

- Like, to me
at least anyway,

it doesn't really seem like
a way that he makes choices,

you know what I mean?
- Yeah, yeah.

- It's just been, like,
this belief system

that is there
but doesn't, like--

isn't a primary driver
of his life.

- Right.

- We're still getting to
know one another as a person.

- Yes, for sure.

- And then we'll figure out,
like, the big, big issues.

- Yeah.
- So...

- I think I'm more okay
with it now, like,

seeing the person that he is.

And, like, obviously,
one of the bigger issues

that I have with religion is
when it infiltrates,

like, how they treat and see
other people in a negative way.

And Austin isn't that way.

And so I think I'm, like, ready
to, like, bend on that.

And I think that he--

I don't know if he is yet
or will be.

the topic of religion came up.

But just--I would never want
to raise my children religious.

differently about that.

- He is very anti-religion.

Thinks like, if we were to
raise our kids religious,

it would completely,
like, brainwash them.

that way just because I have
had personal experiences

with my own faith.

just be as open

as you possibly can.

- Try to let go
of some of the stress.

one to compromise on.
