0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome back to another quickie with Julie.
0:04.2	If you are new to this quickie game,
0:06.5	we are dropping, you know, these little one-off episodes
0:10.1	every now and then that give us both a quick chance to talk about something that's
0:14.7	currently top of mind for us or a theory or idea that we just want to explore a little
0:20.4	more. So this week I want to talk about the number one quality in a partner.
0:26.4	Of course there are so many qualities that are essential for a long-term relationship, but I do believe
0:31.7	there is that one foundational quality and without it, nothing else even matters.
0:38.0	So what is it? Drum roll, please.
0:40.0	Like my bad drum roll, but that's consistency. So what is consistency? To me it

1:46.8	sex equalities we think of, it's what allows for the fun and sex equalities.
1:51.8	If you're always just like wondering like when someone's
1:54.7	gonna reach out again or never knowing what to expect from them it's near
1:59.6	impossible for a relationship to develop.
2:02.8	So having this stuff intact with my partner, for instance,
2:06.4	I knew every Wednesday at the beginning.
2:08.8	It was a short thing that we were gonna see each other.
