Episode notes

- When evaluating claims that 'trad' marriage fixes modern mating problems, challenge assumptions before accepting retro solutions.
- Consider that birth control and technology changed constraints, so you cannot fully return to past practices.

- He uses their partnership to falsify the claim that only trad marriages can succeed.
