"If your child is living up to your expectations while they’re away, it’s okay to give them more freedom and independence." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"Silence can be a virtue, but keeping quiet can be really problematic if you overdo it." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dr. Timothy Loving takes a closer look at research on cohabitation and argues that the data are more nuanced than they first appear.

Quotes to ponder:
“If you’re asking because you’re worried about compatibility issues, then you might want to hold off.”
“Put another way, couples that live together engage in more negative communication tactics slightly more than do those that do not live together.”
“Why do we care about analyses with control variables that account for other factors? Well, because relationships are complex, a lot of factors (all working together) influence any particular outcome.”

Quotes to ponder:
"Ultimately you’re looking for a guy who is comfortable around you, who feels like he could be a solid, caring friend. One who doesn’t try too hard but shows he is totally into you."
"Now, of course, if someone didn’t grow up with both parents or doesn’t have a religious or spiritual background, this doesn’t mean he isn’t the One and isn’t capable of making a life-long commitment."
"Men who said they came from traditional backgrounds and intact families and those who regularly attended religious services were the best prospects."
