Expectations of Modern Love

Contemporary society places unprecedented expectations on romantic relationships, seeking a level of emotional support and intimacy that was traditionally derived from community ties. Individuals now look to their partners to fulfill roles that previously required a network of familial and social connections, such as companionship, support, and emotional validation. This increased demand for a partner to meet various needs often creates tension, as couples frequently lack the communication skills necessary to navigate such high expectations. The disconnect between what is desired and the resources available to fulfill those desires has grown, leading to challenges in maintaining healthy relationships.
