Modern Wisdom · Why Nobody Feels Loved Anymore - Sonja Lyubomirsky - #1115 · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

I would say for a lot of people would report that that is their most important relationship.

I personally think that friends are what makes life worth living.

That's more of my kind of personal theory that you get more of it from friends, but it's also a very gender based theory.

So it turns out that men derive more happiness from romantic relationships than women.

You probably know this.

They put all their eggs in one basket.

Whereas women have very close friendships, social support networks.

But again, I think friends are what makes life worth living.

And yeah, so really maintain those friendships.

No, but I know about it.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, I love that idea, the two for one.

But we also have the false belief that our partner needs to fulfill all of our needs.

So like Eli Finkel's book, The All or Nothing Marriage, right?

And so we know this to be true, and yet we still think that, right?

So one person needs to fulfill sexual, spiritual, emotional, intellectual needs, and that almost never happens, which is why delegating those to friends and family is a great idea.

Yes.

So on Valentine's Day, right, almost all the cards say I love you, right?

Almost all of them.

I would say 99%.
