In this candid conversation, I sit down with Dr. Warren Farrell to explore the cultural and psychological forces reshaping modern relationships.
Why do couples who genuinely love each other struggle to stay in love? Why does criticism from a partner hurt so deeply? And why do defensiveness and misunderstanding so often replace real communication? And how have changing expectations between men and women complicated marriage in ways our parents and grandparents never experienced?
Drawing from Warren’s groundbreaking books The Boy Crisis and Role Mate to Soulmate, we talk about the practical skills couples need to move beyond conflict and toward genuine understanding.
Part cultural reflection and part relationship wisdom, this conversation is for anyone trying to build lasting love in a rapidly changing world.
