Doug continues his discussion on how to be happy in your marriage. He reviews what St. Thomas Aquinas said about happiness and shares the importance of exercising the 4 Cardinal virtues. Doug unpacks the scientific approach to happiness: mother nature does not care if you are happy; lasting happiness comes from happiness, not hacks; happiness is love.
Listener questions and comments:
- Lisa – We’ve been married for 40 years. Men do need respect. We resolved to not fight about money. You need to find other married couples to spend time with. (20:08)
- Joe – We have five kids under 14. How do we put our relationship first? (24:08)
- Mary – My husband isn’t working currently. I gave him an ultimatum to find work. He left, went to therapy, but we’re back at square one. What should we do? (28:02)
