We sit down with sociologist and sexologist Dr. Pepper Schwartz for a candid, science-backed exploration of love, desire, and connection across the lifespan. From the biology of attraction to the emotional architecture of long-term partnership, Pepper brings five decades of research—and 19 seasons of *Married at First Sight*—to reveal what truly makes relationships last. We talk about the myths that still surround aging and sexuality, how fantasy shapes our understanding of intimacy, and why chemistry, communication, and curiosity matter more than perfection. It’s an illuminating conversation about staying vibrant—in body, mind, and heart—at every age.
