Being single is a stroll, relationships are a trek (E13)
Episode description
So many of us nowadays living life as single people, yet so many of us also looking to be in a relationship. Is this a problem? Not if you understand that being single is very much a state of mind - and that singledom can be a very easy and relaxed place to be. By contrast, relationships are challenging and much more demanding on us. This podcast explores the final chapter of The Relationship Manifesto, in it Stephen explains that many people actually like being single, they just don't like not being in a relationship. This is a real paradox. So we have to come up with new ways of being in a relationship, recognise what sort of relationship we actually want, the sacrifices we are prepared to make, and, most important, what our level of 'relationship motivation' actually is. Do this and we can move from the easy stroll of a single lifestyle into the trek of a relationship without much difficulty.
