The concept of "relationships and romantic storylines" is the heartbeat of human storytelling. From the ancient epics of Troy to the latest viral Netflix drama, we are biologically and emotionally wired to seek out narratives of connection, conflict, and intimacy.

: A date every 2 weeks, a weekend away every 2 months, and a week-long vacation every 2 years.
