#181: The Truth About Marriage – Roger Nygard

Today's Man Alive podcast guest, film director and producer Roger
Nygard, spent seven years creating the documentary The
Truth About Marriage. This is the first documentary
he has appeared in, though he has created many others, including
the well-known Trekkies! (Fun Shana
fact you might not have guessed: I've always considered myself a
Trekkie though according to Roger I'm not an actual Trekkie
because I've never been to a convention!)

In this documentary Roger interviewed well-known psychologists,
including John and Julie Gottman, and Pat Allen, as well as other
therapists, sociologists, couples and singles with a variety of
views on marriage. He and his experts share about common
breakdowns that occur in marriage and how to have the best chance
at success.

Whether you're married now, or want to be someday, Roger brings
important information and perspectives to break free from the
norm of people struggling to keep marriage alive and
exciting these days!  


 


In our conversation we discussed:


How people tend to sabotage themselves and create
dissatisfaction in relationships

Simple ways to maintain relationship well-being over time

What it takes to be happy on your own, rather than depend on
your partner for it

The root causes of relationship struggles

What made Roger's best date ever and led to the best sex of
his life!



I REALLY enjoyed this conversation with Roger and highly
recommend watching the documentary after you listen.
