Devora Krasnianski speaks with Mayer Zuckerman, LCSW, a licensed therapist with lots of experience working with young people in dating and relationships. We spoke about is it is possible to really know that this is the one. We also spoke about what aspects should be similar and where differences can work. And how to make the big decision. We unpack all that in this conversation.
