I was just walking the dog and saw a couple taking a walk together. They looked like they were together and then I heard her say “You have no logical reasoning. What did I say? I told you that twice” and then he said something. She stepped back and started to turn around. People yearn for connection. But once in a relationship, it is work, trying to understand each other. But then sometimes it is stressful or even distressful. Great if you are part of a couple in which distress is minimal or nonexistent.
From a psychological point of view, why do we disturb our peace for "coupledom"?
A broader question which I will explore in my next book!
