the others. The others have been quite different.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:32
			I am in a in a relationship. Yes, we all have bring differences but we always have to anchor
ourselves in things that are coming to us that are important to us. It may be tastes or house but
maybe also the values that are important for both of you. And I think as long as you anchor yourself
on those ones you can whether all those issues are going to come out so this is a third part and
we're gonna go with the best out of nine and made the best team and the better house support the
other house so they can when they take the game

those episode. Cinderella, this, you probably have noticed the diversity that we have of the our
community and our couples that are those that are just been married for 10 months and those that
have been for 10 years and others may be actually more than 10 years more than 20 years. And you
have seen the way that they think they see the what's common between them. And so we ask Allah
subhanaw taala that they unite their hearts in sha Allah and then continue to have them as pillars
in our community and involved. So Rhonda Mubarak to all of you and I will see you in the next
