THE DAILY NORTHWESTERN – Feb 15 – The two have dedicated their careers to uncovering the science behind marriage and relationships: what makes them work, where they fall short and how to improve them. Finkel, the director of the Relationships and Motivations Lab, recently authored a book titled "The All-or-Nothing Marriage," which brings together research from sociology, history, economics and his expertise in psychology to offer a comprehensive outlook on how expectations of marriages have changed over time. Solomon teaches a class called "Building Loving and Lasting Relationships: Marriage 101." The SESP course seeks to educate students on intimate relationships. Finkel shows that over time, couples have started to demand more from their partners. He also includes "love hacks" in the book, which he describes as science-backed "quick, temporary fixes" for small issues that often come up in marriages.
