I don't have a bad voice, 15 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: and I don't have a great voice. 16 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,479 Speaker 3: I am in the fat part of. 17 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: The bell, on the bell curve of voices. I can 18 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 2: carry a tune, which not everybody can. You ever been 19 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: in church or synagogue next to somebody singing who can't 20 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: carry a tune? 21 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 3: Who's tone deaf? It is? I must say, I find it. 22 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: Hard to stay on tune next to the guy next 23 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 2: to me who is singing on a different key with 24 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: each note. 25 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: It is. 26 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: It is sort of Arnold Schernberg at services. That's how 27 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: I feel about it. If you don't know who Arnold 28 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: Scherenberg is, they have a certain good fortune. 29 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: Not to knock the poor man, but. 30 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: A father of atonal music, which I can in fact imitate. 31 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 3: But I won't. Welcome to the. 32 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: Happiness Hour on the Dennis Prager Show, and we do 33 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: this every Friday. The second hour of the show is 34 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: devoted to happiness. I am very gratified. 35 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: And not for financial reasons. 36 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: I am very gratified that my book on Happiness continues 37 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 2: to be a good I can't say best seller. 38 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 3: No book is a bestseller for. 39 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 2: Let's see how many years of fifteen years, but it's 40 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 2: a very good seller. Happiness is a serious problem. I 41 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: have had to work through these issues. And the culmination 42 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: is this show, my lectures on happiness and the book 43 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 2: Today's val Times Day. How often does Valentine's Day fall 44 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: on Friday? 45 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 3: Not often? 46 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: And so as a result, I'm going to talk to 47 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: you about happiness and love. The very fact that I 48 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: even mentioned them makes mix us for a certain seriousness. 49 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: The human being, the normal human being. There are truly 50 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: psychopathological ones, but the normal human being wants to be loved. 51 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 2: It's an interesting issue, the whole love issue. By the way, 52 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: it's very interesting that like every other thing in life, 53 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 2: there is nothing that can't be distorted and ultimately unhealthy. 54 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: The human being wants to be loved. I said, but 55 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: here's a problem. If you want to be loved by everybody, 56 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: you won't lead a good life and you won't do 57 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 2: what you need to do in your positions. If a 58 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: parent's primary aim is to be loved by his or 59 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: her children, the person will not be a good parent. 60 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 2: If a teacher's primary aim is to be loved by 61 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: his or her students, they will not be a good teacher. 62 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 2: And I think, most of all, if a national leader 63 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 2: aims to be loved by all of his or her people, 64 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 2: then they will be failure in that department. The time 65 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: that we should most want to be loved, the people 66 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: we should most want to be loved with are peers, 67 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: and that is specifically friends and spouse that's if you 68 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 2: get love and give love. I assume if you give 69 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: and get love from a spouse and friends, and sometimes 70 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 2: a spouse and or friends. Not everybody can have or 71 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: does have a spouse you will be deeply enriched. But 72 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 2: nothing here is my statement, and I make it even 73 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 2: in light of the fact that I know that it 74 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 2: is a painful statement for a fair number of you 75 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: to hear. It's not an attack, obviously, and it's said 76 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: with utter and total sympathy. Some of you have lost 77 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: your loved spouse, and so I recognize that some of 78 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: you never got to have one and did want to 79 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 2: have one. I recognize that some of you have a spouse, 80 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 2: but it is not a loving relationship. I recognize that. 81 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: But because a reality is painful to many, it doesn't 82 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: mean we can't offer it continue to offer it as 83 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: the reality. The reality is that that is the relationship that, 84 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: at its best provides the most happiness. It's meant to 85 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: the parent child. Love is unique. Okay, I have been 86 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 2: fortunate in receiving and giving love to a good number 87 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 2: of people in my life, and I could say, and 88 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: it is no brilliant insight. Every parent knows this. The 89 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 2: love you have for your child is unique. So I 90 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 2: understand that I know it. I understand that I feel it. 91 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 2: Every parent, every normal parent feels it. And in that regard, 92 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: most parents are normal. But I'm not talking about that, 93 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 2: I'm talking about happiness. It is the happiness hour, and 94 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 2: because it's Valentine's Day, I'm using the subject of love. 95 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 2: When you have a good relationship with a spouse, that 96 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 2: is the relationship that can provide the most happiness. I 97 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 2: don't think it's sufficient, although for some people it was 98 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: for my father and mother, for example. Most of us 99 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: also really want friends as good as the relationship is. 100 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 2: If it's a perfect relationship with your spouse. The richness 101 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: of friendships with other couples, with other individuals, and I 102 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: usually specify of the same sex, is also of incomparable 103 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: importance to happiness. But the primus interpars first among equals 104 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 2: is the relationship with your spouse. You're you're not presumably 105 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: sleeping with your friends. You're not with them as much time. 106 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: Uh. 107 00:08:42,079 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 2: The intimacy is the brilliant Biblical word for intercourse between 108 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 2: husband and wife is to know. There is no I 109 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 2: don't think it is ever used. It is not used 110 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: for non married people who have relations That says they 111 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 2: lay with, but not they knew and so and Adam 112 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: knew his wife Eve. That that knowledge is only available 113 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: in marriage. That in the espousal relationship. So if you 114 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: get that right, you are a very fortunate human being. 115 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: And if it's really bad, I wouldn't even say up 116 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: and down. If it's really bad, it's very hard for 117 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 2: you to have a happy life. One of my two 118 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 2: favorite composers, and I am very very involved in classical music, 119 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: is Heighten the father of the symphony, the father of 120 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: the string quartet, the father of the sonata, piano sonata. 121 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: He is, he is unbelievable. I love love his music. 122 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: He had a terrible marriage. He was deeply in love 123 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 2: as a young man. He was very self conscious. He 124 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 2: didn't think he was at all able to attract women. 125 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 2: He didn't think he thought he was particularly not good looking. 126 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 2: For example, he fell in love with a girl, a 127 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: beautiful girl who fell in love with him, and he 128 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 2: was extraordinarily happy for a very short period of time. 129 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: But her parents wanted her to become a nun, and 130 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: so she was sent to a convent. And then the 131 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 2: parents said to him, so marry her sister. And her 132 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: sister was the opposite of the girl who went into 133 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 2: the convent. This girl should have gone into the convent. 134 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 2: Their marriage was so bad that what I am about 135 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: to tell you will sound unbelievable. She actually would take 136 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: some of Haydn's musical manuscripts and wrap fish with them. 137 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 2: He was not happy at home, although his music is 138 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: the happiest classical music written. Praguer seven seven six, reflecting 139 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: on love on this Valentine's Day Happiness Hour. 140 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 141 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. 142 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: Hello, my friends, I'm Dennis Prager.

See that shows. 147 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 3: Well I got out of that one. 148 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: Happiness Hour Dennis Prager Show, second hour every Friday. It's 149 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: Valentine's Day, and I thought I'd talked to you about love, 150 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: and I already acknowledged that they were. Is a unique 151 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: love of parent child. There are many many forms of love, 152 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 2: the love of close friends, but there is the possibility 153 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: of a relationship. We're talking here, and I don't deny 154 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: other existences of love relationships, but overwhelmingly we're talking about 155 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: man woman love. And if you have a spouse that 156 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: you love like this and who loves you back. 157 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 3: You're very fortunate. 158 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: And we should erase children to understand that this is 159 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: going to be their greatest source of happiness and how 160 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 2: important it is to choose right.

Nothing 193 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 2: is true for everybody. The other day I met a woman, 194 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: the mother of someone I have known for years, and 195 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: the woman I knew she lost her dad, so I 196 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: met her mother.

After I think about sixty years 200 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: of marriage, fifty or so, fifty sixty years of marriage, 201 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 2: without seeking sympathy, without complaining, she was I asked her 202 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: how you are and said, well, to the effect, how 203 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 2: can I be? I lost my best friend of fifty years, 204 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: and I know from my father who was with my 205 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: mom for seventy two years, no, seventy three years, sixty 206 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 2: nine married four before that three years, the loss is incalculable, incalculable. 207 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I was preoccupied with the 208 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: big issues. 209 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 3: I just was. 210 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 2: I was born with a very very and still have 211 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: a kid's spirit, but I always had an adult's thinking. 212 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: I just thought about heavy duty stuff from an early age. 213 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 2: I remember reading somewhere that the loss of a child 214 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 2: is the most searingly painful, but the loss of a 215 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: spouse in a good marriage is the is the most 216 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 2: constant loss or the I don't remember the words, but 217 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:11,999 Speaker 2: it had its unique element of pain, which is true. 218 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 2: We see, we don't want to admit this because we 219 00:17:15,639 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 2: live in a stupid age that doesn't want to acknowledge 220 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 2: how vulnerable and how ultimately, in the best sense, dependent 221 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 2: we are. I'm a pretty strong guy, but I'm dependent 222 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 2: on my wife and vice versa. I mean, she's a 223 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: tower of strength.

You have 226 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 2: something very special in life, but we don't want to 227 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: acknowledge it because you know, women had told you. You know, 228 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 2: a woman without a man is like a fish without 229 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 2: a bicycle. It's the antithesis of the Valentine's Day message. 230 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 2: You know, fish don't buy bicycles flowers on Valentine's Day. 231 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: So post no. 232 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: Young girls are taught from a very early age.

Of course, they need a man. 235 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 2: Every man I know, acknologc. He needs a woman. There's 236 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: something wrong with you if you don't need If you're 237 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 2: a woman, you don't need a man. And I'm not 238 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 2: talking about gays right now, but if you are the 239 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 2: overwhelming majority of women, the ninety seven percent who are straight, 240 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 2: and you believe you don't need a man, you have 241 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 2: been told you don't need a man, and some have 242 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 2: that nature. 243 00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 3: And I'm not going to get there.

All right, For most people, 247 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 2: nuts are good for them. Did you know that nuts 248 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 2: are a very healthy source of protein, for example, and 249 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 2: good fat on the other and they kill some people. 250 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 2: So should we stop saying nuts are good for you? 251 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 3: Have some nuts? 252 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 2: Yes, we need the other sex.

Hence 258 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 2: it's called the Happiness Hour. I'm Dennis Prager, and hey, 259 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: it's Valentine's Day. I can't avoid the subject of love. 260 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: And it's a very serious hour of devoting to its 261 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: importance the uh and especially the spouse, the husband, the wife, 262 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: and if it's good, how incomparable it is among relationships 263 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: in life. And I'm big on love of friends. And 264 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 2: I spoke about the uniqueness of a love for children, obviously, 265 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 2: but that's where it is. And I know that there 266 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: are there are faith traditions that do not allow for 267 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: or deeply deeply discourage, and I acknowledge that. But putting 268 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: aside for a moment theology, it's hard to imagine that 269 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: it was God's vision for people to live in a 270 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 2: terrible marriage for their whole lives. You fight for a 271 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 2: good marriage, celebrate a even a an average type marriage, absolutely, 272 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 2: but where there's toxicity, I don't. It doesn't seem that 273 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 2: that would be God's will if you want to talk religion, 274 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 2: and it doesn't make sense for from a human perspective. 275 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 2: And those who are in a good relationship know what 276 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: I'm talking about, So do those in a terrible one 277 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 2: for that matter.

Second hour of the show, 334 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: every Friday. It's better English devoted to happiness. It's Valentine's Day, 335 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: so it's a rare confluence of the two. So how 336 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 2: could I not speak about love and specifically the love 337 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 2: of a husband and wife. There are many other forms 338 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: of love, and they're all legitimate, and I understand them, 339 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 2: and I have many of them, not just legitimate. Some 340 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 2: are great. I don't know what I would do without 341 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 2: my friends and of course my boys. The love I 342 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 2: have there is very, very deep and unique in terms 343 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 2: of daily happiness, though it's the spouse. Kids leave the house. 344 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 2: They're supposed to leave the house at any rate, among 345 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 2: other things. And they're not peers. They become more peer 346 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 2: like as they get older, of course, but they're they're 347 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:31,719 Speaker 2: never quite peers. They're not supposed to be. So it's huge. 348 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 2: And if you have it good, you're very very fortunate. 349 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 2: I know a lot of you have lost such a love, 350 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 2: so this is a painful hour. Some of you never 351 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,919 Speaker 2: got such a love or in a bad marriage, and 352 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 2: so it's a painful hour. When I choose these subjects, 353 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 2: I think about that. I think about, well, will this 354 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 2: topic hurt the feelings of some people? And the answer 355 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 2: is yes, and obviously not intended in any possible way, 356 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: But I can't avoid telling a truth we have to tell, 357 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 2: at least the next generation. How central the husband wife 358 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 2: relationship is happiness. That's why I read in the first 359 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 2: hour of this article it's up at my website incidentally, 360 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 2: by this woman in the Wall Street Journal telling girls, yes, 361 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: you should shop for a husband while you were in college. 362 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 2: It's exactly right. This notion that you're gonna get your 363 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: greatest happiness from career, especially for a woman, is nonsense 364 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 2: in the vast majority of cases, not in all cases. 365 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: All right, let me take some more calls. And the 366 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: last woman I'd asked you to call up, you know, 367 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 2: basically just to give a sort of verbal Valentine on 368 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: national radio to the love of your life. And the 369 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 2: last woman, as soon as she started talking, just started crying. 370 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: That's how what she loves her husband. I was very 371 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 2: touched by that. As it happens. Okay, let's go then, 372 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 2: and it doesn't really matter. They're all good calls. Here 373 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 2: and Patrick in Denver. 374 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 8: High Hi, Dennis. I don't know if I can follow 375 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 8: up the woman that. 376 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 3: Was it's not followable, I said you, she raised a 377 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 3: high bar. 378 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 8: Yeah, but my wife, she's the one that got me 379 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 8: talking or listening to you, so. 380 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 3: Hey, for that alone, you owe her a lot. 381 00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 8: I do, I do, and I don't know. I start 382 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 8: this off by saying that we're we've only been married 383 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 8: about four and a half months now, so we very well, 384 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 8: could just be in the honeymoon phase. But I think she, 385 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 8: like my wife, is just the best woman that I've 386 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 8: ever met, and she makes me the best version of 387 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 8: myself that I could possibly. 388 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,719 Speaker 2: Well, now that my friend is what they say, and 389 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: I don't usually use cliches bingo, everybody in your life 390 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 2: is a great subject for another time. Everybody in your 391 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 2: life should make you a better person, or they shouldn't 392 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 2: be in your life. That's a big suggestion. And number one, 393 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 2: your spouse. If you are not a better person because 394 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: of the person you are married to, deeper, more, mature, kinder, finer, 395 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 2: you name it, morally, psychologically, temperamentally, professionally, you name it. 396 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 2: If you're in a profession, then it's not shouldn't a 397 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 2: person shouldn't be in your life. Well, there's another thing 398 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 2: he said that I'd like to come in on. Well, 399 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 2: we're in the honeymoon phase.
