Isa sa mga napag-usapan nila ay kung anu-ano ang mga natutunan nila sa buhay at sa pagsasama nila bilang mag-asawa sa loob ng 14 years.
“The 14 years that you’ve been married to me, what is something that perhaps you’ve learned?” tanong ni Ogie sa kanyang wifey.

Sagot ng Songbird, “How wonderful it is to be married to someone that is your best friend, who has the same interest as you.
“Meron ding mga hindi. Kasi di ba yung mga romance-romance, eventually that will fade. It will fade and you’re left with really just being good friends and companionship.
“You’re left with that. So, it’s wonderful to be with someone who’s your best friend also,” chika pa ni Ate Regs.
Natuon din ang kanilang chikahan sa pagiging breadwinner nila sa kanilang mga pamilya lalo na si Regine na bata pa lang ay nagtatrabaho na para makatulong sa kanyang family.
“I’ve also learned that, kasi di ba, I’m a breadwinner. I don’t have to have that mentality anymore because I really am not a breadwinner anymore. It’s not a bad thing,” pahayag ng Kapamilya star.
Hirit ni Ogie, “We are very proud of the breadwinners. At tulad nu’ng natutunan natin sa ‘And The Breadwinner Is…’, ano para sa sarili mo?”
Sey ni Regine may hanggangan din naman ang pagiging breadwinner, “Hindi, saka dapat natatapos ka. I’ve said that before. Natatapos yun, because you need to have your own life.
“As I was saying, you need to allow your partner to be responsible to you because that’s his job. You need to allow them to do that. Men are responsible for women,” ang punto pa ng Songbird.
Pero tanong ni Ogie sa asawa, “E, paano kung lalaki yung breadwinner?”
Tugon ni Ate Regs habang laugh nang laugh, “Same, same lang. Same, same lang. Ah, you mean sa family? Once you get married, dapat matapos na yun.

“Of course, you help every now and then, but your main priority…” sey ni Regine na siningitan ni Ogie ng, “O, bigyan ng ano?”
“Ng ikabubuhay nila. Teach them how to fish. Don’t keep giving them fish. Kasi dapat iyan, once you get married, your main priority should be your wife,” reaksyon ni Regine.
Dugtong pa niyang paliwanag, “Because your wife, of course. Hindi, kinukuha mo yung babae na yun du’n sa family niya, e. You literally…you know, getting that woman.
“Oo, at may basbas naman. So, you are responsible for that woman, for that person.”
“So, ayun, yung mga breadwinners diyan, babae o lalaki, let’s just ano, parang gusto namin kayo i-remind that natatapos dapat yung responsibility na yun. Otherwise, you know, your family will forever…” sey ni Regine na dinugtungan ni Ogie ng, “Depend on you.”
Pagsang-ayon ni Regs, “Oo na, it’s okay, e, yun naman talaga. Ano ka, tiga-trabaho ka? Parang ganu’n yung dating mo. No. You have to have your own life.”
Nai-share rin ni Regine ang laging pangaral ng kanyang nanay na si Teresita Velasquez sa kanyang mga kapatid “I remember her telling my siblings, that’s why they grew up like that, tama, independent.
“I mean, if they need help, of course, I will help. And they would ask me naman. But so far, they’re all good. My mom used to tell them, ‘Hoy, si Ate, hindi iyan forever magtatrabaho para sa atin, ha? Mag-aasawa iyan, ha?’ Kailangan niyong pag-igihan yung pag-aaral. Hindi iyan forever.’
“And she would constantly remind my siblings na, ‘She’s not gonna be working for us all her life, ha? She has to have her own life.’ She tells them. Kasi akala niya, I’ll be alone. Kasi matanda na ako, wala pa ako boyfriend, wala pa.
“Ako yung huling-huling nag-asawa. Alam mo, sinabi niya sa mga kapatid ko, ‘Alagaan niya yung Ate niyo, ha? Pag namatay ako, kung hindi niyo inalagaan iyan, mumultuhin ko talaga kayo.’
“Iyan yung mga… ‘Babangon talaga ako, ha? Mumultuhin ko kayo, ha?'” natatawa pang pag-alala ng Kapamilya singer-actress at TV host.
Samantala, tanong naman ni Regine kay Ogie, “Are you happy with me? Are you content being with me for 14 years? And do you have any problems with me?”
Sey ni Ogie sa kanyang pinakamamahal na wifey, “Am I happy with you? You know, I view happy as a very temporary feeling. So being happy is like a momentary feeling. You’re happy, you know.
“Nanalong Lakers, you’re happy. Flat yung stomach for that day, you’re happy. But I think what I experience and what I feel being with you for 14 years is joy.
“I equate that with joy because joy is spiritual, it’s not only just I’m happy, I’m ecstatic at the fact that we’re married.
“No, I am extremely thankful, grateful. And that is a joyous feeling that I feel here.
“And that’s what motivates me, that’s what moves me, that’s what inspires me to be, as the millennials would say, the Gen Z’s would say, I’m not sure if it’s a Gen Z thing, the best version of myself.
“And you can only do that, you cannot muster enough strength to be able to do that on your own if you don’t have the seed. And the seed that I have is joy that emanates from… from being with you.
“So it’s not just a momentary thing, it’s a constant state of mind and heart that I experience.
“What’s your other question?” tanong ni Ogie.
Sagot ni Regine, “Do you have any problems with me that you think I need to improve on? It’s a valid question.”
Natatawang sey ni Ogie, “I think there are a lot. But I think we’ll never be, we won’t be corrected anymore.
“Come on, we’re in our 50’s. There are probably little things that you want yourself to be corrected for and it’s only if you want to as a spouse,” ani Ogie.
Saad naman ni Regs, “Ay naku, minsan ang babae, sasabihin niya, ‘What do you think it is that I need to improve on?’ Tapos pag sinabi mo kung ano yun, we get mad. Women think we’re perfect. But not me though, I’m okay.”
Agree naman si Ogie sa sinabi ni Regs, “But you know, it doesn’t matter to me. They’re just little things. Kung ano man yung hindi mo gustong gawin, ako nang gagawa, di ba? Ganoon yun, e.”
Ani Regine, “And vice versa. Kasi sa totoo lang, wala namang perfect. If you think you are so imperfect, well your spouse is also thinking the same thing, that he’s so imperfect.”
