Rethinking Length of Time in Relationships

Many later daters tend to equate length of time with depth and significance in relationships. They feel compelled to mention the number of years they were married to prove the strength of their relationships. However, this mindset may not accurately reflect the true value and meaning of a relationship. The media also tends to cover relationships based on their duration, leading to unfair judgments. It's important for later daters to separate the notion of length from strength and to focus on the quality of the connection and the experiences shared rather than the duration.
