So, let's prioritize helping folks have happy/healthy relationships?


>"prioritize".

How?


education for one. children need to learn to care for each other, to listen to each other and respect and love each other for example. this can and should be done in school. (besides ideally the parents as good role models)

what young people see as love is often just desire. the desire to be loved. they think if they love someone the other will automatically love them back. they don't understand that loving someone requires wishing the best for that person, unconditionally.

i love you because you are a human being and i want that all your wishes and goals come true.

but for a healthy and happy relationship this is not enough. we need to align our wishes and goals and work together to achieve them.

providing an environment where young people can learn that, is our job as society.
