My guest is James Sexton, Esq., a renowned attorney specializing in contracts related to love and money—prenuptial agreements, divorce and custody. We explore the counterintuitive fact that people with prenuptial agreements tend to stay married longer and report more satisfying relationships than those who don’t. We discuss how legal contracts can foster deeper understanding by encouraging vulnerability and honest communication about each partner’s values and expectations.
We also examine what defines true, lasting love versus generic romantic ideals—and how social media can distort our understanding of what we truly need. Additionally, we review how cultural traditions, gender dynamics, courtship length, and age at the time of marriage shape marital outcomes.
This episode offers practical tools for anyone—single or partnered—to build more successful and stable relationships through deeply honest dialogue and contracts that reflect genuine values around love and money.

I think I also watched the Netflix special on the twin study. One of the twins that they seemed to brush over with sharing, detailed results, was the set of twins that were bodybuilders. I would like to know more about how’s the different diet affected each of them.

I agree a vaccine put me into a febrile seizure as an infant. but I don't think it caused my seizure, my body was already predisposed to epilepsy. it was just the trauma of the syringe that finally unleashed the built up stress.
