What would you do to not end up alone? A team in Toronto conducted a study along the lines of that, and found that the fear of being single predicts settling for less in romantic relationships. We’ll discuss today the Fear of Being Single, the expectations of love, and the modern day arranged marriage with our guest Dr Johnben Loy, US Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.
