Your Relationship Isn't a Product. It's a Project.
Batya Mesquita, a cultural psychologist who studies how emotions vary across societies, and Paul Eastwick, a UC Davis psychology professor who researches romantic connection, discuss relationships as ongoing projects. They explore how attraction and compatibility shift with time, how emotions are shaped by culture and interaction, and why tiny rituals and shared meanings build lasting bonds.
