Drawing on his 35-year marriage, Bacon argues that relationships require playing together more than working at them, emphasizing the importance of partnership, complexity, and finding joy in everyday moments. Rather than relying on simplistic advice, he acknowledges the ups and downs of long-term commitment and advises approaching each new day in a spirit of collaboration. Overall, Bacon advocates facing relationship challenges with an attitude grounded in the present, eschewing idealism in favor of pragmatic optimism.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE!Sign up for the Greatness newsletter!
