Summary

Kevin Bacon believes that self-love and gratitude go hand-in-hand, rating himself an 8 out of 10 on the self-love scale despite the overwhelming state of the world. Drawing on his 35-year marriage, Bacon argues that relationships require playing together more than working at them, emphasizing the importance of partnership, complexity, and finding joy in everyday moments. Rather than relying on simplistic advice, he acknowledges the ups and downs of long-term commitment and advises approaching each new day in a spirit of collaboration. Overall, Bacon advocates facing relationship challenges with an attitude grounded in the present, eschewing idealism in favor of pragmatic optimism.

1:15.3	So to me, gratitude and self-love kind of overlap a little bit.
1:23.0	Like I'm being good to myself if I'm able to be grateful.
1:28.0	I think that that's important.
1:31.0	You've had a, you know, 35 years of what seems to be on the outside a beautiful happy successful thriving relationship
