We romanticize relationships so much that it’s easy to believe that if ours doesn’t feel a certain way, something must be wrong. But relationships aren’t supposed to be perfect. They can be complicated, disappointing, deeply meaningful, boring, exciting, frustrating, and still be the right one for you.

Sometimes, we’re so focused on finding the right relationship that we miss the meaning that can be found in the one we’re actually living. We don’t need to stop wanting more from our relationships. But we might ask ourselves whether we’re chasing an ideal or making space for something real. Because a meaningful life, and a meaningful relationship, doesn’t require perfection.

These quotes all touch on different aspects of love, really getting to the heart of what it means to be in a relationship.

There’s no one size fits all approach to a happy partnership. As a couples therapist, I know that every couple needs and desires different things to thrive. But there are some behaviors that almost always contribute to disconnection. Which one resonates with you?

One person talks about how they feel, and the other shuts down. It’s a common couples dynamic that can feel like rejection or disconnection, but is more often a difference in processing speeds. The amount of time someone needs to sort through thoughts and feelings before they respond can look very different for two people.

Are you the person who needs to talk it out right away, or the one who needs time to process?

I’m feeling especially grateful after returning from an adventure abroad with my teenage son.

In a recent essay on Zibby Owens Between the Chapters Substack, I wrote:
“Recently, my son expressed an interest in visiting Copenhagen after discovering it was one of the most skateboard-friendly cities in the world. As I often do, I said, “Sure, maybe one day.” But then something unexpected happened. I found myself researching skate parks in Copenhagen and fold-up scooters for adults. Within a week, I had booked it. Sure, it wasn’t the most practical or money-conscious move, but instead of “maybe someday,” I just wanted to say yes. It felt hopeful to reclaim some of that spontaneity, and it immediately empowered me to become more active in my joy-seeking.”

I’m so glad I said yes.
Kinda chic, actually. ✨

Our whole lives are organized around milestones: graduating from one grade and moving on to the next, getting our license, becoming a legal voter, then a legal bargoer. Then it’s graduating from school, starting a career, maybe meeting a partner, and having children. It’s the cultural prescription handed down to us from the generations before.

But then, rather abruptly, the map ends. Midlife is often the time when we begin asking: What do I want for this next chapter? What still fits? What am I ready to let go of? It can be a time of uncertainty, but also a time of returning to ourselves and creating a life that feels more authentic.

These quotes are a beautiful reminder of that. Which one resonates with you most?
