And we're expecting it to be all because of love.

And we're signing these contracts based on how we feel when we're high on these drugs.

So the reality is we know based on the – and I'm also talking about certain Western civilizations here because –

As you know, there are arranged marriages, and a lot of times those marriages, if we're looking at longevity, are actually way more satisfied than people who are marrying for love, which logically makes sense.

If you're making a decision based on a feeling that is basically based on endorphins and dopamine and oxytocin,

I wouldn't sign a contract just because of a feeling necessarily, you know, for 50 years.

Whereas an arranged marriage, if you have your elders kind of deciding for you that this partner has a bunch of traits that you're going to appreciate more and more over time, I think there's some wisdom there.

Well, I don't think that specific feeling you're having based on drugs is going to be the same feeling you have 20, 30, 40 years down the line.

If you're gonna wake up and turn to your partner when you're 70 and think, oh my God, I'm so glad you're hot.

You are so hot.

Then sure, marry for hotness.

But if you've been through life a little bit, and I think most people who are on a second marriage know,

Shit happens in life.

It is hard.

You're going to have, you know, maybe a kid with special needs or your dad gets dementia or you get diagnosed with cancer.

Who are you going to want to come home to?

Who is going to hold you when you are sobbing on the floor and tell you we're going to get through it together?

Who's going to know the names of your kid's special ed teacher and the process for getting a 504 plan?

Or is it going to be you on your own?

I think those things matter.
