Finding the right romantic partner is one of the most meaningful and enriching connections you can make in your life. However, every relationship takes a lot of work and both partners need to contribute. In this episode, we’ll talk about why a strong foundation in your relationship is so important, and how setting that foundation will help you both navigate the good times and the bad.

This was the final episode in Season 2. We are so glad that you are enjoying the videos! We are definitely open to making more seasons, but, as a non-profit, we need another grant to make that happen. Please help us spread the word about this channel to increase the likelihood that grantmakers will see the good work being done here!

I don't think the romantic type of love is special. And I am started to think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other, while most platonic best friends remain friends until death. I think that having a platonic best friend is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse is. Having someone who's like a sibling to you is a lot better than having a romantic partner or spouse. Also, you are more likely to be much more closer to someone who's like a brother or sister to you than you would be with a romantic partner or spouse. People tend to fight with their partner or spouse a lot more than they do with a platonic best friend, and you never fight with your best friend the way you fight with your partner or spouse. Partners and spouses are just temporary. If you break up or divorce them, it's hard to go back to them. With your platonic best friend, you're going to make things work, because they are your best friend, they are your go to partner. It's always easier to make amends with them than it is with a romantic partner or spouse. Romantic relationships are pointless, while platonic relationships are not.
