#16 John Lennon, or Making Your Relationship Work (with Cam Poter!)

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? And more, all on this episode.
