Rhetological Fallacies. Lisa Jey Davis: Singles: Most People Wish They Were You. Adult single people are an elite breed of human. Anyone who has become a part of a couple holds a deep-seated respect and reverence for their single friends (those single friends who are truly living, that is. Not the sad, sappy, bleeding heart single friends). In fact, the reverence and awe toward singles from their coupled-up counterparts is so great, it could be compared to that reserved for the Pope... or for George Clooney, perhaps. Why is that?

Will you ever be as great a husband as I am? TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH, BODY, AND LIFE!

I grew up as a product of second-wave feminism, having learned from the media that men were oppressive, foolish, and incompetent. My methods made him feel defensive, and damaged our relationship. The 12 Ties that Bind Long-Term Relationships. That crazy thing we call love is perhaps one of the most studied and least understood areas in psychology.
One reason is that many studies of romantic relationships are carried out not in real life, but in the lab. Making matters worse, many of these studies involve dating relationships between samples of convenience, consisting of undergraduate students. Though these students are certainly capable of close relationships, many of them haven’t matured enough to know themselves, much less what they want out of a romantic partner. What better way to find out about love than to survey the experts? Not the psychology experts—the expert members of couples who have been married 10 years or longer.
