| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody, welcome back to this show. My guest today is Matthew Frey, |
| 0:04.7 | he's a relationship coach, blogger, and an author. Matthew's my regended because he left a glass |
| 0:10.6 | next to the sink. Well, not exactly, but near enough. He spent the next few years recovering, |
| 0:16.6 | reflecting and writing about how a relationship can fall apart without anything catastrophic |
| 0:22.0 | happening, and also working out how to stop it from happening again. Expect to learn how even good |
| 0:28.0 | people can be bad spouses. Why men and women aren't speaking the same language in most relationships, |
| 0:34.1 | why most divorces are initiated by women, why trust is even more important than love, |
| 0:39.6 | why peace and contentment are better life goals than happiness, and much more. What I like about |
| 0:45.9 | Matthew's approach is that it's fundamentally hopeful. I'm not a fan of taking a nihilistic or |
| 0:53.0 | despondent cynical view of the future of relationships, even in a global dating market with Tinder and |

| 1:34.0 | but it has more protein than a normal protein shake, and they even do a vegan version. If you're |
| 1:39.3 | in the UK, their orange and mango is great, and if you're in the US, their strawberry flavor is fantastic. |
| 1:45.2 | Also, you already know my protein make the best bars on the planet. Their layered bars are fantastic, |
| 1:51.3 | their gooey cookies are amazing if you throw them in the microwave for 30 seconds. Basically, |
| 1:55.2 | their entire range is phenomenal. If you need to stock up, if you're looking to add more protein |
| 1:59.5 | into your diet, or if you're looking for health and sports supplements like multivitamins or |
