Happy Independence day -- in keeping with the theme on July 4th, here is a mini episode where I speak to some of my happily married friends (and some of the minds behind your favorite romantic stories) to ask them about what independence means in a romantic relationship.

Thank you to Alana Levinson, Jenny Smart, Ben York Jones, Laura Moses, Shannon Bower, Anita Gatto, Meredith Goldstein, and Todd Strauss-Schulson (I love you all xx)
