were still together and anything below that they got divorced they were more likely to get divorced and seven eight to one was like kind of the optimal if it was too high it wasn't authentic and so what happened is is that they would actually um what they saw was that if you just change the math like if you just engage in more positive interactions then what will happen is the baseline sort of deposits that you've made in the relationship will um
will shift, just the energy of the relationship will change. If you're parents, then what often happens with parents, which I can now say this now that I'm a parent, before I had great parenting advice because I wasn't a parent, but now I can say that often what happens when a couple goes from two to three to four to five or whatever is that the couple fails to prioritize each other.

The couple should always be first. And I know that can be a real challenge, you know, depending on the dynamics, especially I think for like mother-child dynamics, that can be really hard. Of course, it's biologically meant to be. But the couple must maintain a priority. And if we've forgotten that, if we've forgotten about each other, couples grow apart all the time.

It's just like, how do we come back together? Date nights, adventure. Not just regular date nights. Don't just put on fucking Netflix and get some popcorn. No deep intimacy and connection. Go do an adventure.

And switch who's responsible for planning the adventure. You know, my wife and I, we wrote a book called Liberated Love. And in it, we talk about how like, When you actually recognize that your partner can leave you in any moment, then you see that your partner is choosing to be with you in that moment. I always think to myself often that my wife could choose anybody.

She could be with lots of guys, but she chooses to be with me. So how do I continue to be someone that is worthy of that choice? And because I consider it an honor and I consider it very sacred. And I think we can often forget that because life gets busy and we're not taught to think that way. You know, we're like, oh, I got married. I guess you can't go anywhere now.

And the divorce act is like, actually they can. Yeah. So I think when we make agreements like marriage, what happens is, is we think that It's a contract that you now don't have a choice anymore. we actually have to constantly be like, this is a choice.

And both people have to be in. You know, both people have to be desiring to make the changes and to grow. I mean, I think... You know, Stan Takenu talks about how one of the greatest reasons that people get divorced is they fail to make clear agreements at the beginning. But like, who here, like, I'm 46.
