What's up everybody Mark Manson here and today we have a very very special episode for you a couple weeks ago we hit a milestone here at Mark Manson Enterprises a very rare and special milestone we hit 10 million podcast downloads in the first five

months which is absolutely insane and concurrently around the same time we hit 2 million

subscribers on the YouTube channel.

So as a celebration, I decided to have an open Q&A solo podcast.

So I asked everybody to submit questions,

and we received, I think about 1,200 questions from you guys.

These questions are wide-ranging they're going to cover

tons and tons of different topics from my personal

changes and beliefs recently to some of my thoughts on things like manifestation on social media

on how to get over a breakup and we're also going to talk about new books,

new movies, new plans, more podcasts, all of the above.

So let's get into it.

First question, one of the best things about you, Mark, is how open you are to the ups and downs of your life,

but it has always impacted me how much you share about your relationship.

I guess this is my marriage.

Could you share the top five to ten things that have helped you build and maintain such an amazing relationship with your wife.

So my wife and I have been married.

Well we've been together now for almost 13 years and we've been married for six and a half.

Still very happy, big thumbs up to a good marriage.

Underrated. Marriage needs a new publicist, needs a new PR job. It doesn't get enough

positive attention these days. But to answer your question I'd say the biggest keys to a good and

healthy romantic relationship. First one is honesty and integrity. Like trust is everything. If you don't have trust, nothing else works.
