say some adults may be missing a key point. self-control can be learned with strategy. "the new york times," instead of marshmallows, they used cookies instead. because that's true. if i see a bunch of cookies, i might think of cookies different than marshmallows. the principle is it can be a learned trait about self-control. >> you think about the end goal instead of the immediate gratification. >> yes. >> makes total sense. you know what else makes sense? the phrase happy wife, happy life. there may be truth to that, in the journal of marriage and family, they surveyed couples on personal feelings towards each other and how well they communicate. finding that the husband's marital and life satisfaction is linked to his wife's happiness. if she said she was not happy, it was likely her husband wasn't happy either. of course we can't say this applies to all couples. but it's an interesting thing to consider. and all of us are in agreement. there's a reason why that phrase exists.

>> you think it works vice versa, too? >> i think, but there's still something to do -- they said that a woman, when she's unhappy, she makes her feelings perhaps more known. men tend to be less emotional and talk about their feelings. >> more important -- >> creates a bigger problem if the woman is unhappy. >> makes sense to me. >> a house full of women. >> of course. >> you agree. >> do you think happy wife, happy life is true? tweet us #socialsquare. >> you can't get away from us. you're surrounded. >> all day long. >> it's a pleasure. next up on the heat index, the premier of "dancing with the stars." the new season off to a hot start last night. we have been talking about it, former fresh prince star, alfonso, stole the show. the incredible jive wowing the judges, earning top scores of the night. nines across the board. and sadie robertson was really good. >> that's a surprise.

>> that's sort of the thing, too, taking control. right? isn't it a lot about confidence? >> yeah, the confidence, the energy, and you could tell he didn't have a care in the world. i think he was having so much fun. you know, the second he hit that opening pose, i think he was so ready to give the audience a show. and we all enjoyed it. >> you know who else did? tommy chong, the better half of cheech and chong. he was really remarkable last night. >> i think one of the great things about last night, a lot of surprises. i wasn't expecting anything beyond entertainment value from him, but the dancing was pretty good. and i think it was just so fitting to start the season like that. that it was just a blast. >> and we'll find out who goes home tonight. >> i know, a quick turn around. one day. but it's going to be a good season. >> great having you here. and you will be with us from time to time. we appreciate that very much. >> thank you for having me. and so which couple will be the first to go?
