Episode 3214:
Dr. Bonnie Le unpacks how major relationship milestones, like moving in, marrying, or ending a relationship, affect our happiness and emotional health. Her research-backed insights reveal that while we often expect lasting emotional highs or lows from these events, our well-being tends to stabilize more quickly than we anticipate.

Quotes to ponder:
"Major life events, especially in romantic relationships, can have powerful effects on well-being, but not always in the ways we expect."
"While many assume that breakups will devastate us, research suggests that the impact is often less severe and more short-lived than we predict."
"Getting married is associated with a temporary increase in well-being, but over time, people generally return to their prior level of happiness."
