单集简介 ...

Many love stories end when the characters are still in the heady, euphoric early stages of a relationship. But what comes after that intoxicating first phase of love is over? Today, we kick off a new series on the challenges specific to long-term relationships. We'll talk with psychologist James Cordova about some of the common difficulties many couples face. We'll also look at a solution that scientific research suggests might actually work. Then, we'll bring you the latest installment of our segment Your Questions Answered. Researcher Jon Jachimowicz returns to respond to listeners' thoughts about the pursuit of passions.  If you’d like to see Hidden Brain live and hear some of Shankar's key takeaways from the first decade of the show, we have stops coming up on our tour! We’ll be in Baltimore on October 11th, Washington, D.C. on October 12th, and Los Angeles on November 22nd. Plus, we’ll have more stops for 2026 to announce soon. For more info and tickets, go to hiddenbrain.org/tour. And if you enjoyed today's episode with James Cordova, check out our Hidden Brain+ conversation with him about relationship check-ups. James explains why an annual relationship assessment can help couples to spot issues before they become major problems. Plus, he shares some of the questions he asks couples during these sessions.

  • There comes a time in most relationships when people look at the partner sitting across the table from them and think,

  • who is this person?

  • Maybe you don't like the way your partner eats with his mouth open.

  • Maybe you don't like the way she's always working.

  • Maybe you don't like, well, lots of things.

  • At moments like this, a thought crosses our minds.

  • Perhaps we can get our partners to close their mouths while they eat.

  • Perhaps we can get them to have more work-life balance.

  • Perhaps we can change them into a better version of themselves.

  • We know exactly what needs to be done, and we know exactly how to do it.
