One of the biggest life lessons from people in their 80s, 90s, and 100s?
According to the director of Cornell’s Legacy Project, Dr. Karl Pillemer: choose your partner with extreme care.
After interviewing thousands of people near the end of their lives, the advice was clear to Dr. Pillemer: Attraction matters - but shared values, shared interests, and shared ways of living matter more.
And here’s what surprised me the most: long-married couples said the real secret isn’t passion - it’s in friendship.
So instead of resenting your partner’s interests, step into them.
Learn the game. Pick up the hobby. Join them in the thing that lights them up.
Not because you have to - but because partnership is built on meeting each other where you are.
In this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, Dr. Karl Pillemer is breaking down the biggest life lessons from people in their 80s to 100s - so you can stop guessing about what matters and start building a life you won’t regret.
