You go on a first date that lasts 24 hours. Within days he says I want this to last forever. Within 3 weeks he moves in. Then the cracks in the month old foundation start to appear. But never fear just carry-on, get married then it gets really bad...

Guests Alan Feigenbaum and Ariella Steinhorn talk to us about their Non-Linear Love project. They talk about reframing the way we think about dating, romance, break-ups, divorce and love.  In modern times relationships are judged on their path to, and relativity to marriage. But Al and Ari are working on changing those views. Instead, they will collect and tell people’s unique relationship stories, and maybe reframe the way we all think about dating, romance, break-ups, divorce and love. Perhaps, if we view love through a nonlinear lens, we can find a way to encourage a reduction in conflict as our paths to the next chapter begin. If we can make peace, not war, with the simple fact that so many of our relationships have a natural shelf life, the possibilities could be limitless.  To find out more about their work: @NonLinearLoveStories www.nonlinearlove.com @asteinhorn @alrichard_f
