Unlearning the Rules to Find Love: Love is about learning and unlearning societal expectations to discover our own unique paths.
Love is not about having a perfect relationship; it involves learning to accept and navigate the imperfections that come with ourselves, our partners, and life.We are constantly surrounded by stories that tell us how love should be, and many of us inadvertently follow those conventional paths.For example, in heterosexual relationships, men usually do the proposing; most brides receive diamond rings and wear white, and many women take their husband's last name.The nuclear family is still the most common family structure in the US, and most Americans live near where they grew up.However, some people are in consensual non-monogamous relationships, and the desire for such relationships is on the rise.Through my own experiences, I have learned that love is all about learning and unlearning; it's not what the stories tell us. I hope my book, Eight Rules of Love, can help others understand this too.
