Ambivalence is a key aspect of adult love, signifying maturity. It is possible to love a person wholly without loving every aspect of them.
Unconditional love is a myth and not a realistic expectation in relationships. Living with ambivalence is normal, with contradictory feelings and thoughts being a part of love.
Disasters, like pandemics, can lead to reevaluation of priorities and reorganization of relationships. They may result in more breakups and more babies.
Early self-awareness and investment in conscious coupling can lead to healthier relationships. Pre-commitment counseling and being proactive with personal growth can foster successful partnerships.
Distance and freedom are essential in relationships. Allowing space for individual interests, experiences, and personal growth while maintaining connection fosters desire and admiration.
