Relationships are a two-way street in all aspects. While partners do cover for each other every now and then, there still needs to be a certain level of balance. Over the past few decades, the institution of marriage in the United States has seen a significant decline of about 60% since the 1970s, reports CNBC. While there are various factors contributing to this trend, content creator Katie Hanlon—who goes by @thekatiehanlon on TikTok—has mentioned some less-discussed yet crucial factors that can often lead to relationship breakdowns.

Kamala Harris is once again on the cover of TIME magazine. But the artwork—a sketch of the vice president surrounded by supporters holding her campaign signs aloft—isn’t for an interview. Instead, it’s for a story by Charlotte Alter with the headline: “The Reintroduction of Kamala Harris.” The piece looks at how Harris has “pulled off the swiftest vibe shift in modern political history” following her replacement of President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. Harris also featured on the cover of the magazine last month, literally stepping into the frame as Biden exits. Her reappearance on the hallowed cover comes amid Republican attacks on Harris over her lack of media interviews since obtaining the Democratic nomination, with her most recent TV interviews coming in June, according to Politico. Last week, Harris said she wants to “get an interview scheduled before the end of the month.”The reintroduction of Kamala Harris https://t.co/noW5TOgawP pic.twitter.com/iLmQIhxOeF— TIME (@TIME) August 12, 2024

How do we learn to love ourselves after 60 if we were not taught about self-love early on in life?. Because of how we were raised, educated, and trained for adulthood conformity, we relied on the beliefs, rules, and guidance of authority figures to make sense of life.

Treat dating as a potential liability, not an automatic benefit. Many women are conditioned to approach dating and relationships as if there’s a heightened sense of urgency to “find the one.” As a result, they tend to choose partners out of a need for validation or to derive a sense of self-worth from their relationship status, rather than authentic desire. It’s important to deprogram the harmful myths you’ve internalized about romantic relationships to the point where you would rather be on your own than with a toxic partner so you do not settle for less just to settle down. If you’re not quite at that stage yet, it can be helpful to thoroughly read the stories of women who’ve struggled in even the happiest of marriages and the research on the risks and burdens of marriage, childbirth, and childrearing, and how these risks are heightened when you are with the wrong partner. Usually, women are trained since adolescence to seek out the benefits of relationships without knowing the costs, but being with the wrong partner can deplete your mental health, deplete your finances, make you lose your identity, and cause you to take detours in pursuing your dreams. Ensure you know these risks and costs so you can assess whether a potential partner is actually adding value to your life, rather than detracting from it and potentially going to change your life-course trajectory in irreversible ways.
