Strong relationships are crucial for happiness and longevity, highlighting the importance of developing relationship-building skills in a non-awkward way. Dedication of just six minutes a day can lead to becoming a better connector and friend. Additionally, there is a significant lack of understanding about the nature of marriage contracts among individuals, with 95% unfamiliar with essential concepts such as spousal support and child support. This indicates a need for better education and understanding in relationships, akin to the required knowledge for driving, suggesting that improved barriers or educational prerequisites for marriage could enhance relationship comprehension and outcomes.

What We Discuss with James Sexton:
- Many people enter marriage without understanding its legal implications. James Sexton estimates that 95% of people who come to his office are learning about the marriage contract for the first time.
- Social media has made infidelity much easier and more accessible. James notes that platforms like Facebook and Instagram create opportunities for inappropriate private conversations and flirtations.
- Prenuptial agreements are becoming increasingly common, especially among younger people in their 20s and 30s. James observes a growing pragmatism and realism in approaching marriage.
- All marriages end, either through death or divorce. James encourages people to be mindful of endings, as it can make them more appreciative of their current relationships.
- Being open and honest about your concerns and fears in a relationship can strengthen your bond. Having pragmatic conversations about finances, living arrangements, and potential scenarios doesn't diminish romance — instead, it demonstrates care and foresight for your partner's well-being. Consider having these discussions and potentially creating a prenuptial agreement to ensure you're both on the same page about your future together.
