What makes couples stay together long term? It’s not love, s*x, or even kids. A Harvard study following 724 couples for over 30 years revealed a surprising truth: the key to lasting marriage is how you handle the small, recurring issues—and how fast you recover emotionally.

In this episode of The Longevity Protocol, Dr. John Robinson and Dr. Cristina Bosch share insights from both research and personal experience:

• Why long-term couples don’t resolve every conflict

• The power of letting go (not suppressing)

• How emotional recovery builds resilience

• Why choosing peace matters more than being right

• What bonds couples together through struggle

• The surprising role of time in saving a marriage

Almost every marriage hits a breaking point. The difference between those who last and those who don’t? Patience, perspective, and the ability to come back together.
