Thousands of voices are telling you how to do modern dating and relationships.
Scroll through your feed and anyone with charisma and a microphone can become a relationship expert. Maybe you’ve grown disillusioned with those voices. You’ve tried to follow the advice, but still struggled in your own relationship — or wondered what, if anything, you can actually trust.
And the opportunity to speak into this moment is massive. Because the reality is sobering: divorce rates hover above 50%. And if you factor in the number of couples who are actually happy, the percentages fall much lower.
Here’s the good news: finding a successful, happy, long-lasting relationship is not impossible. But only if you understand the truth — and apply it to your life.
That’s why we sat down with Dr. Ty Tashiro, one of the top relationship scientists in the world. He’s synthesized decades of research across psychology and relationship science, getting to the root of what really makes love last.
In this conversation, you’ll hear why the very things most of us chase in a partner — passion, beauty, and money — can backfire. We’ll explore the consequences of listening to the wrong voices on this subject, and uncover the traits that science says actually predict a happy, lasting relationship.
