0:00My name is Lewis Howes. Thanks so much for being here. I want to remind you about the Summit of Greatness, our annual conference happening this September in Los Angeles. With David Goggins, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and many more incredible speakers and performers, there will be so many live attendees there that you can meet with, you can network with, and you can help transform your life. I can't wait to see you at the Summit of Greatness here in Los Angeles.

0:28Hi, my name is Lewis Howes, and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.

0:38how do you separate your emotional connection towards these you know relationships knowing they're not going to stay with you long term those relationships knowing that you're not going to potentially commit long term like how do you how do you navigate the emotions of knowing like hey this is a lot of fun and we're hanging out and connecting for a few months but also knowing this isn't the guy for me. I think there's kind of sex is important. So when you're having a good sexual relationship with someone, that doesn't always mean you love them. It means you have fun with them. And that actually could be a pull, but you can't be blindsided by that emotion and that hormone.

1:22That's a challenge. That bonds a lot of people, right? It's very bonding because there's things that happen after your orgasm, you know where you're having all these hormones you know and oxytocin and all this stuff that makes you feel very close to that person um but i think we have to have conversations with ourselves private conversations with ourselves and look at the truth uh of what this is and i was with someone and i just had the best time and he's you know he was really funny and you know really great not going to be the father no because for me i wanted to know that i would find someone who loves my children as much as i do wow and i wasn't going to take anything less wow yeah wow that's interesting it it sounds like so you were married twice before correct and then we were talking off camera about how you met um you met him in the same year i was born about months before I was born you guys met you and Kirk right I know I mean it's so crazy looking at you because 41 years ago I'm a man you met him 41 years ago you were a man and you came out a baby boy that crazy a month after you guys met or you got together yeah I came out you did and what if you can go back to that time how have you been able to make that work where you guys have been able to to raise two different families, come together, join families, and be happily together for 41 years in this industry.

3:00We both look at each other and go, oh my God, can you believe it? You have to want a relationship to work. You just do. I mean, there's all kinds of arguments that come up and things you don't agree on and all this stuff. I mean, Kurt and I don't have a big, we don't always align politically. and um but you know i i like him i i am you know whatever he thinks or all this stuff i think well you know that's his thought so you have to individuate um because your your your man or your woman is not ever going to be everything the perfect dream and they're not going to be just like you you know i think if i had somebody agreeing with me all the time i'd go crazy because there's no friction.

3:44But when you get into these dilemmas and having a relationship to sex and all the things that happen, when you're on a movie set, it's like a family. And then you can actually create these relationships that feel very deep. They feel very connected. And it's a caution because there could be relationships that are happening there that you're not even aware of, and all of a sudden you're realizing that's all I'm thinking about. And you've got somebody at home, boyfriend or husband or whatever. And I think men are more vulnerable in many ways because they're more, you know, sort of visually active.

4:27They don't necessarily want to marry the person, but, you know, they want to, excuse the French, you know, do the old hand out. Yeah. And so that's kind of how it works. and um so it's fragile you know because you can't help but think oh my god i mean he's going to work it was such a beautiful girl i mean i mean god how's he gonna resist that how did you navigate that when he might be on set doing uh you know intimate scene or something or with beautiful people around and how did you guys both navigate that you're doing the different scenes as well you just navigate it you just you just know that you know but she's beautiful and whatever and You realize that men are a little different than women.

5:12They can have reactions in ways that women can hide or don't. We're much more skillful, I would say. And who got us excited. But I don't feel that we had many challenges. Really? No. I mean, I certainly, he didn't for me, and I did for him probably a few times. Just natural wonder. Like got insecure or jealous a little bit or something? I was never jealous. That's a different word. But I've always been sort of thinking about what if. And he was so sexy and great and such a brilliant actor. But you know, at the end of the day, through all of these things, children and parents and our parents and all the different things that you go through, the different houses you build or that you have or the time you are or the time you spend with your children, then your grandchildren start coming.

6:18And what happens is that if you like that person, if you want to be together, if one person doesn't want to be together because they feel they're getting older and now they have to be with a young person or to shore up their security about being a man and I'm whatever. And that happens a lot, particularly with wealthy men. So that happens. There's all this crap that can happen. Right. But if two people don't want it to happen and only one does, forget it. It's not going to work. If the two people want that because we love family, because this is what we're together, we love each other, we love to play together, we've got great sex together.

7:01You get through this stuff. At the end of the day, your grandchildren start coming. You have a whole different, I would say, feeling of springtime. because you kind of fall in love again. Really? Yeah. If you've done it right, you're there for each other. And as people get older, there's more vulnerability. But if you're together, then that's supporting each other, and it's very loving, and it's just amazing.
