サマリー
あらすじ・解説
The star-cross'd lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are often held up as paragons of a romantic ideal. But are they really?
Today, Matt and Graham have a look at the mistakes we make in love: the assumption that there should be "the one" who "completes" us; the idea that the intensity of teenage love should continue into adulthood; the concept that we should simply accept relationships becoming stale and boring.
Along the way, they have a look at the behaviours that need to be fixed to lead to more fulfilling relationships and talk about what "imperfect love" looks like.
