Good evening, everybody. Welcome to the show. We got a great show plan for you.

0:04.5

I'm going to be talking about relationship fixes and later in the show will be doing some sex myths.

I wanted to open the show first though with some interesting stats. I was working on a project and I was looking at some relationship statistics and I thought,

0:17.6

so these are a little interesting. I'm not going to get too deeply into the science behind them or why it is.

0:23.7

I mean, I'll mention it a little bit.
