Relationships are hard!

I don't believe in failed marriages or subscribe to the idea that relationships have to last a lifetime to be considered a 'success'. There is nothing to forgive! We meet people to learn, grow and have experiences and we do that through relationships. Can you celebrate that, and what, you loved? What you learned? Can you get to know yourself better?

Andrew Marshall @themeaningfullife writes about the different stages of love (from crazy love / limerance, to mature love / loving attachment and what feeds that attachment) to loving regard (the kind of affection we feel for parents, children, friends) in his latest newsletter. Worth tuning into.

I share your observations about younger generations and relationships. Jonathan Haidt dives into that in his new book The Anxious Generation.

Oh my goodness, I listened to A Gentleman from Peru a few years ago in Audible, quite by accident and fell in love with the author.

This was quite a timely post. Thank you!
