What You’ll Hear In This Episode:

• Feeling chemistry is great, but that doesn’t mean it’s the foundation for a healthy relationship or partnership. 
• Lisa and Benjamin both give examples of times they rushed into relationships and the lessons it taught them. 
• If you are a woman of child bearing years that doesn’t want to waste your time, finding a top notch coach like Lisa and Benjamin will literally change your life.
• Why do men tend to rush into relationships, and how is that different from why women jump in too quickly? 
• How can you tell if he’s emotionally available so you can stop wasting your time and precious energy?
• Going on a few dates is not comparable to navigating the ups and downs of life together. You may feel like you know each other, but you don’t.

• “I don’t care if every cell in your body is lit up every which way to Sunday, it doesn’t matter. You can not trust your chemistry. You’ve got to slow it down.” - Lisa 
• “The process is amazing. What women learn and who they become in a span of three short months is astounding.” - Lisa 
• “It's one thing to have fun for a while and enjoy each other's company. But is this person willing to integrate you into his life?” - Lisa
• “I used to be a judge of character, and now, I realized I was just judging people. Now, I'm a really good read of someone's character.” - Lisa

Straight after our nikkah, I moved in with Zuhair's family. 

In my experience, living with the in-laws has not been as difficult as the movies would have you believe. I've been blessed with amazing in-laws who do so much to help us daily. 

I will admit that the only challenge I've faced is the language barrier. Although Zuhair's family tries to accommodate me by speaking English and I've been (slowly) learning some Urdu, it is not easy trying to keep up with native speakers. 

Overall, living with family has been a great decision for us and our relationship and life goals. I've been able to experience Pakistani culture and delicious food to a greater extent than I would have if we didn't live here.

Check out Episode 4 below.
