More recent generations have much better emotional intelligence than previous ones. We’re consistently getting better at things like communication and being aware of our own feelings, which makes marriage a lot better.

I always heard growing up that once you stop fighting, the marriage is in trouble. Which, frankly, is bullshit. The marriage is in trouble when you stop communicating, but that doesn’t mean you have to constantly fight. It’s possible to work out differences before they build up and explode.

It’s still difficult at times, but yeah, marriage is rad if you both commit to being great communicators.
