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)
