"People would never not check in on the job. There are staff meetings all the time, you discuss challenges and clear them up," psychotherapist Linda Bloom states. She argues it is crucial for couples to engage in structured check-ins to address challenges within their marriage—similar to workplace meetings. This approach counters the romantic notion that love alone sustains a marriage, focusing instead on the need for growth and communication to support marital well-being.
Eli Finkel mentions in his research that today’s marriages must exceed mere security; they should also foster personal growth. He posits that "a new kind of marriage has emerged, one that can promote self-discovery, self-esteem, and personal growth like never before." This reflects a shift toward seeking deeper fulfillment and self-actualization within partnerships, indicating that love alone may no longer be sufficient to sustain and nurture long-term relationships.
