"Dating, a once classic rite of passage, is also changing, Faith Hill wrote this year. Yet even as fewer young people are getting into relationships, they do believe in love: According to one study that included more than 5,000 Americans, 60 percent of single adults said they believe in love at first sight, a nearly 30 percent increase from 2014."
"With a new year comes the hope of change and betterment-so let these writers help you nurture and strengthen your relationships in the year ahead. On Dating Teens Are Forgoing a Classic Rite of Passage, by Faith Hill Dear James: The Men I'm Dating Keep Leaving Me Numb, by James Parker The Agony of Texting With Men, by Matthew Schnipper The Great Ghosting Paradox, by Anna Holmes The New Singlehood Stigma, by Faith Hill Three Rules for a Lasting Happy Marriage, by Arthur C.

Parents faced fraught questions in 2025 about raising children, including child-care access, ultra-processed foods, and appropriate technology exposure. Dating norms shifted as fewer young people entered relationships, even as belief in love at first sight rose markedly among single adults. Practical guidance covered communication failures such as texting and ghosting, evolving singlehood stigma, and principles for long-term marriage happiness. Parenting coverage offered realistic approaches to nutrition, underused child-care solutions, technology rules to future-proof kids, limits on phone-camera use, communal discipline, and broader definitions of fatherhood responsibility. The new year invites intentional efforts to nurture and improve personal relationships.
