I think that this is true.

Like your mom and dad, I think that there are some people who cope better
than others.  I, myself, don't have any trouble in this regard.  Other
people that I know, however, can't stand to spend a single night away from
their spouses.  I'm not sure there's anything to 'do' for persons of that
temperament.  Everybody should do what makes them happy.
