The parameters of modern romantic relationships are changing rapidly and we are beginning to see whole new challenges and expectations appearing. Never before has the idea of a long-term relationship been so short term.
Most adults now are looking at a minimum of 3 to 4 serious long-term relationships in adulthood compared to the old idea of one person for life. The one person for life idea will still exist but most likely as the exception not the rule.
What this means is that we need to begin to have different ideas of what makes a successful relationship, one that is perhaps not so heavily attached to a duration of time but rather how did we learn and grow whilst in the relationship. I hope the episode offers some food for thought!
