Well, it's not all about sex, right? It's not all about sex. But what it typically means is that there is a low level of satisfaction in the relationship. And as a result of there being a low level of satisfaction and the low level of satisfaction could come from. not having enough sex or not having the sex that they like. It could be from there's no respect.

They don't feel like there's equity in the relationship, whatever it may be. But because there's already a low level of satisfaction, when they go into a place where the partner is terminally ill, they're more – ready to leave, right? This is normally what you see.

What you see happen when you see a partner leave another partner, where you see infidelity happening, is you see that there was already a low level of satisfaction. The level of satisfaction in the relationships not only dictate the survivability of the relationship, it dictates the survivability of us. There was a study done James Coyne, this one blew my mind.

He pulled 200 patients who had congenital heart disease, right? So not terminally ill, but as close as you get to terminally ill. And he was able to look at the 200 and he broke down the group based on those who have a high level of satisfaction and those who have a low level of satisfaction in their relationship.

And he was able to look at the 200 and he broke down the group based on those who have a high level of satisfaction and those who have a low level of satisfaction in their relationship.

Two years later, the couples who had a high level of satisfaction, the person in that partnership who had congenital heart failure, you know what? They died about 11% of the time. So 11%, they died. But those who had a low level of satisfaction, two years later, 45% of them had died. Think about that.

Little greater than three times the likelihood of death because of the low level of satisfaction in the relationship. So the satisfaction in the relationship is the key. And this is part of what I've been trying to drive in this book and a lot of my messaging is that we place too much value on longevity. It's ridiculous.

When I sit down for interviews, typically the top, and thank you for not asking me this, typically the first two or third question is, Paul, so you've been married for how long? How long have you been married? How long have you been married? And the idea is that because I've been married for 23 plus years, that I'm successful in my marriage. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous.

The question should be, how satisfied are you in your marriage or in your partnership? And so we can't, we have to stop putting emphasis on the longevity and really focus on the satisfaction.

The reason why I hate trying to answer a question like this is because so many people will say, oh, I don't believe what this guy said. Truly, hand on my heart, word to my children, I have the highest level of satisfaction with Joe, you know, with my best friend today than ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. And I think the reason for this is
