Episode 7:

This Episode humorously argues that twice-monthly overnight ski touring trips are essential for a man's health, happiness, and marriage. It supports this claim with "scientific" research, asserting benefits like improved physical and mental health, stronger social bonds, and even financial responsibility. The episode suggests that these trips, despite appearing self-serving, are actually investments in personal betterment and relationship enrichment. By reducing stress and fostering appreciation, these excursions are framed as a selfless act.  The piece suggests that the short-term absence will strengthen a marriage in the long run.
