Relationships 2.0: When Did Marriage Become So Hard?
Hidden Brain About this episode
<p>No one will deny that marriage is hard. In fact, there's evidence it's getting even harder. This week on the show, we revisit a favorite episode from 2018 about the history of marriage and how it has evolved over time. We'll talk with historian <a href="https://www.stephaniecoontz.com/">Stephanie Coontz</a> and psychologist <a href="https://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/profiles/eli-finkel.html">Eli Finkel</a>, and explore ways we can improve our love lives — including by asking less of our partners. </p><p><i>For more of our Relationships 2.0 series, be sure to check out last week's episode, "</i><a href="https://hiddenbrain.org/podcast/relationships-2-0-an-antidote-to-loneliness/"><i>An Antidote to Loneliness</i></a><i>."
