Relationships: The Grass is Always Greener
Some people are single by nature, some like serial commitments, and some are relationship addicts. But most continue the traditional quest to have one special life mate stand together with them in the face of life’s challenges. If you have longed for love but it seemed to elude you, lasted only too briefly, or was not quite the “right one,” then you understand the hunger for a mythical partner who would make everything okay in life.
Relationships: The Grass is Always Greener looks at how we view relationships—attraction, flirting, dating, love, intimacy, and mate selection—as well as the many complications, misunderstandings, avoidances, and fears that accompany a shared commitment. Is it better on the other side, or worse? That is the eternal question.
