1. People Will Be Pickier
Settling is totally a thing for generations past. The future will be all about people having a checklist of dealbreakers who aren’t afraid to adhere to them. This will also mean that the actual relationship quality will matter even more, too. As it should be now, but I guess people are going to step it up on that end.
2. Independence Will Be Paramount
People no longer want to live for someone else, but live for themselves instead, and in doing so, they’re putting themselves first and foremost. Forty percent of those surveyed preferred to stave off co-habitating as a means to retain their independence, while “realizing individual goals will continue to increase.”
3. Couples Therapy Will Be The Norm
According to EliteSingles psychologist, Dr. Wiebke Neberich, couples are now more willing, than ever, to recognize issues as their relationship complexities grow and deal with them, instead of just bailing. Finally! A world where therapy might lose its awful stigma! What a dream!
