Season Two, Episode #16

"Attachments and relationships can bring us pain: as a character in Jean-Paul Sarte’s play No Exit said, “Hell is other people.”

But so is heaven."

- Jonathan Haidt, The Happiness Hypothesis

Being in a relationship takes work. Plus, love (cue the saxophones) can make Operation Relationship get a little complicated. But what does the science say? On this episode, special guest Cam Poter returns with Mohnish and Kevin and cover:

- How do you keep a relationship alive, strong, and on the right track without screwing it up?

- Is there a right time for love?

- What's the big danger point for couples where many are prone to break up - but shouldn't?

- Is "true love forever" biologically impossible? (hint: yes)

- Why do arranged marriages have just as good, if not better, marital satisfaction than love marriages?
