The dream of finding The One has been with us since at least the story of Adam and Eve, and for most of us it touches on some of our most fundamental beliefs. In this episode I look at the effect that Christianity had on my childhood romantic dreams, and at how it shapes society at large's monogamous ideals. I chat about how we might reimagine relationships if we stopped viewing them in a moralistic light; and I play a voice message by a listener, James, which delves into loneliness, religion, and connectedness. I end off by reading listeners' moving definitions of 'being in love'. 

Podcasts mentioned: The art of asking everything, and Tara Brach.
