- I've been married for 22
years, this is my husband, wonderful man, love him,
but we've had the same fight for about 20 years. He has a problem where
he thinks that my family is too involved in our personal business. Because I come from a
large Hispanic family, (audience cheers and applauds) yes, I've brought 10 of
them from Cleveland with me. - Whoa whoa whoa, all
them people that hollered, them your family? (audience hollering and applauding) - Yeah, they're all from
Cleveland (laughing). (audience laughs) Steve, my family's
always been there for me. And my husband comes from
a very tight-knit family. In a Boriqua family,
it's a little different. So I understand that, I give
him the authority in the house, I respect him as the head of the house, but I like their input. So sometimes I tell them things and, yes, they do some things with us, and so he gets sometimes
where he, he doesn't get mad, but he's like, I need some personal space. And I'm telling him,
okay, go to the bedroom, they're coming over. (audience laughs) And so I don't understand. Do you think he's really being
a little bit overly sensitive when it comes to my family? - No I think your husband is 100% correct. (audience applauds and murmers) - But I don't agree! I don't agree! (audience
applauds and cheers) - Steve, Uncle Steve, listen, I came here 'cause I been outnumbered for 24 years. (audience laughs) First of all, let me correct her, we've been together 24 years,
we've never ever had a fight. Now we've had intense fellowship, (audience laughing)
- Yes. - But never a fight. Listen, we don't do nothin, without Puerto Ricans! (audience laughing) On our honeymoon, Uncle
Steve, our honeymoon, she brought, yes, she
brought her grand mama. (audience laughs and screams) - Wait, wait, wait, wait! There's a reason, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on , hold on! There's more to this. My abuela came, but let me tell you why. We, first of all we were married. We didn't have any money, we
didn't have no where to go. And we were just starting off. We didn't have any money. - We didn't need her grand mama though. - My-- - You don't need money to
do what you needed to do. (audience laughs)
- Listen! - That's free.
(audience laughs) - Listen!
This is not, listen! Steve, what happened to
happy wife, happy life? He keeps me happy, which he does. He's very good to me. He's a great man, mentors. - Talk about me, girl. (audience laughs) - Two master's degrees,
he's great, he's awesome! It's just this one area
that you know, like, my family, just, they're there for us. And he knows that too, right? - They are, listen, they are there for us. But some stuff gotta be for us, that's what I'm tellin' her. (audience applauding)
- See, hold on. Now what's your name, Michelle? - Yes. - Now you seem like you
got a real nice family. Just let me tell your family something. All your decisions that
you runnin' by them, it's none of their business. (audience applauds and cheers) Somebody taught me something
that I didn't know before. And when you get married, you should form a two-handed circle. And in that two-handed circle, is you and the person you marry. They told me, Steve don't ever
let nobody in that circle. Once you let other people in the circle, you now have other opinions. And it's tough enough getting
two opinions on the same page. Once you open it up and you let
six, seven of them in there, you'll never get on the same page. - We'll try to do, we do date nights, but we've like never
taken a vacation alone because, well-- - Never, been nowhere, alone. (audience awws)
- Wait a minute. - We've been in the room alone, but I mean they're on the ship or-- - I'm not even convinced of
that either. (audience laughs) - [Steve] Wait a minute. - So I'll try that, that's my growth plan. - Hey, wait, I gotta tell you somethin'. This dude been waitin' on this moment. (audience applauding)
- Somebody gonna hit me. - Steve, help me. So like anytime y'all go on vacation it's never by yourself? - There's a Puerto Rican somewhere, with us! (audience laughing) Somewhere Uncle Steve,
there's a Puerto Rican! - Michelle. - I'm gonna try, that's my growth plan. - No, try, what is trying? You can't try. You got to do something.
(audience applauds) He owes you and you owe him. - All right, good talk, Steve, thanks for allowing me to have this (laughing drowns out word)! (audience applauding and laughing) - Thank y'all for comin' everybody! We'll be right back! (upbeat funky music)
