Plus, Esther Perel on the future of marriage
| February 15, 2024 | | 20 YEARS OF IDEAS | Monogamy, Infidelity, and the Future of Marriage | Is our notion of the perfect romantic partner destroying our love lives? At the 2016 Aspen Ideas Festival, world-renowned psychologist and couples therapist Esther Perel sat down with journalist Hanna Rosin for an insightful and provocative conversation on modern relationships. They discussed the evolution of marriage, why romanticism sets us up for failure, and what realistic wedding vows might sound like. 🎥Watch | | COLLECTION | The Bonds We Make (and Break): Building Better Relationships | Friends, partners, children, families, coworkers — these connections profoundly shape our lives and happiness. For many of us, the upheaval of the pandemic became an unexpected opportunity to take stock of our relationships. Some of those relationships deepened while others struggled, leaving us asking questions like: How can I have more positive, productive conversations with my kids? How do you know when it’s time to end a friendship? Do I have unfair expectations for my relationship? Aspen Ideas speakers are here to help with advice and sage wisdom. 💞 Learn More | | PODCAST | Redemption Song? | Public discourse around America’s history and national identity is fraught at best. “The debate over who we are has been present from the beginning, and that debate has often been bloody and difficult,” says Imani Perry, professor of African American Studies at Princeton. “Who we are is actually constituted in that tension.” Perry joins Vanderbilt political science professor Jon Meacham for a conversation about memory, ideology, and redemption. Together, these two renowned historians discuss how storytelling is used to forge society and teach us what kind of people to be in the world. To chart a path forward, how might we build a better relationship with our past? 🎧 Listen | | FESTIVAL | Help Us Celebrate 20 Years | Great news!
