fromcourting to going steady to free love to hooking up the changes in relationships and the language surrounding them

Relationships don’t always need labels, but we can spend a lot of time considering where we were, are, and headed in them. Relationships also exist within a cultural context, and since we are members of several co-cultures, we may find that our relationships have multiple definitions, depending on whom you ask. Grandparents may have one view of courtship, parents yet another view, and teenagers may not even be able to imagine anyone older actually dating. In addition, over time, cultures adapt, grow, and change as to how coupling, partnering, and bonding behaviors occur, between whom, and what’s accepted, celebrated, and embraced. Finally, we all have interpersonal needs, from safety and security to sex, and how we consider, negotiate, and think about interactions influences our relationships.

This week, we think about the language of relationships and how it has changed over time.
