I had the pleasure of being on Nicolas Vaca's podcast UNTOLD. He is a terrific, long-form interviewer. We cover key themes in my decades of research on marriage, relationship development, dating, and the complexities of modern love.

A 2002 study from @DecideOrSlide and colleagues still feels strikingly relevant: How couples argue is more related to divorce risk than what they argue about.

As @harrybenson6 notes, "while women are more sensitive to the way they are treated, men are more sensitive to the level of argument reached."

@dscottsibley Yay. Thanks Scott. That's great.

I should add, I love the title she chose for this: "Just stop it!" Sometime, the most important thing is stopping what you are doing that's not working or that is damaging your marriage.

I want to recommend this book by Sarah Halpern-Meekin on Social Capital and couples in poverty, wherein she focuses on two types of poverty: economic and social.

Regret having children? Or not having any? It's mostly one directional.

Among 45+ year old Americans:

7% of those with children would have 0 if they could go back.

56% of those without children would have some if they could go back.

@SassClassNiceAs @MandyConnell @iHeartRadio You bet. I've been long time off Twitter (er, I hear it has a new name? Um, I'll use X to represent it). Good to hear from you again Justine.

@SassClassNiceAs @MandyConnell @iHeartRadio Huh, well, two of my colleagues on this stuff are women.

Here's a woman who wrote a piece about this.

Here's another.

But you raise an interesting question and I wonder if it's a thing.

[Scott M. Stanley @DecideOrSlide]

How can couples or friends with political differences keep from ruining their relationship over their differences? My book co-authors and I (Fighting for Your Marriage 4th edition) have a piece out in @YourTango on this!
