Relationships

English

By (author): The School of Life

Few things promise us greater happiness than our relationships - yet few things more reliably deliver misery and frustration. Our error is to suppose that we are born knowing how to love and that managing a relationship migh therefore be intuitive and easy.

Love has a history and we ride sometimes rather helplessly on its currents. Since around 1750, we have been living in a highly distinctive era in the history of love that we can call Romanticism. And it has been a disaster for love.

Relationships challenges the assumptions of the Romantic view of love. It shows how to develop new attitudes that can lead to a psychologically mature vision of love:

  • That it is ok that love and sex may not always belong together
  • That discussing money early on, in a serious way, is not a betrayal of love
  • That realising that we are rather flawed, and our partner is too, is of huge benefit to a couple
  • That we will never find everything we need in another person, nor they in us
  • That spending two hours discussing whether bathroom towels should be hung up or can be left on the floor has its own dignity.
