A more apt example would be - Give me one way that your adulthood ahs affected your spouses adulthood.

I disagree. First and foremost the analogy must have similar qualities. If you disregard the distinction of time and space, then I'm not sure exactly what you're left with that is still valid...

Thanks for the response.

OK, then we cannot affect our own childhood, however, G*d could.
What we do affects the other dimension, not our own.
