This guy is so insightful, real, and actually HAS life experiences. He is blunt and honest. I can listen to him talk all day!

[banterouspineapple]

"practically everyone is in a relationship" Thanks for rubbing it my face Graham 😭

[lukescapee]

My wife and I turned this episode on in the background today and ended up watching all 2 hours because of how invested we were! Never heard of James before, but he seems to have lots of wisdom, and a great speaker.

[HindsightFPV]

3 failed long-term relationships here and I can say this man is ON POINT with everything he's saying.

“I’m gonna die, you’re gonna die, we’re all gonna die. You can see that in 2 ways, you can be terrified of it or you can see it as an invitation to live your life.” 8:15

[michaelmansour]

Many many great points here!! At 49 with some ups and downs with my wife for 26 years we found that a weekly "talk time" is crucial to keep thing going the right direction and getting better. We keep it short and 1) "Thank" the other for something they did that week. 2) "Sorry" for for something we did that week. 3) I will "try to" do something better or different this week. It is not a argument match. We don't go off on many items. Keep cool. Stay positive. End in a good place

[dwzimss]

Proud Father! I am always amazed this is my son and extremely proud of what a caring human being he is.

[HaveANiceDayDude]

Wtf how have I listened to this guy for almost 2 full interviews before he mentions he has a book!!! Impressed by the humility and definitely going to read it

[BeeTimesTwo]

This is a master class in marriage, relationships, and culture. Love listening to him. You can tell from his logic and passion while speaking what he does for a living. Such an interesting interview.

[RoseWater]

As a married woman and stay at home mom to two children I feel very seen… didn’t expect it to be by a divorce lawyer either.

[jackiestaatz]

James Sexton reminds me of my favorite college professor. I could listen for hours and learn so much out of a conversation! The lessons learned come so easily when he talks.

[DavidDOquendo]

Sexton is a great dude through-and-through. I’ve known him for 10 plus years, and have met very few people that were as enlightened, transparent and knowledgeable as James.

[paulfaulkner]

Graham is now 100% sold on getting a Prenup, he's just scheduled the uncomfortable conversation.

[chrisgoodgo]

"I think I learned a lot about... you know, about that you can disagree with someone and they're not your enemy, you know that you can love someone and disagree with their point of view"

If only more of us knew this.

[Fromaddicttoentrepreneur]

When he said that he can tell when a couple is going to get divorced just by the way that they talk to each other and by the way that they talk about each other when they're not together. ❤love this. It's so true!

[aaronsiebold]

Poor Jack and Graham look petrified realizing they can’t absolutely control cheating

[JavierTijuana]

"I don't think people do evil things 'cause they're evil, I think they mistake it for happiness". That's a thing to give a thought or two. Kudos to Jimmy Sexton and the interviewers, I work as a forensic psychologist mainly in custody cases and always learn a lot with his interviews.

[ski]

This guy actually had some really wise and intuitive words to say about not just love but all social life. Really great! I’m gonna be thinking a lot about what he said on how America is a culture that pushes everything to the extreme

[cory]

This guy has been my favorite guest on pods and I'm a single dude. Always feels like he brings something I can carry into the future.

[xgvyrir]

I'm generally not a fan of lawyers but bravo to this man. Pragmatic and speaks the truth on so many fronts. Protect him at all costs.
