It can’t always be about Taylor—but on Becoming You, sometimes it has to be. Especially when she sings, “When I said I don’t believe in marriage, that was a lie.”
Because what other lies do we tell about love? And what do they reveal about how we live, decide, and grow?
In this week’s episode, host Suzy Welch tackles the ever-complicated terrain of dating, marriage, and divorce with cultural icon Lindsey Metselaar, whose long-running hit podcast We Met at Acme has made her an expert on modern relationships. Together, they dive into questions like: Who wants a romantic relationship more, men or women? Can sex save a marriage? What if he hates your family? And which professions are most—and least—interested in marriage?
It’s lively, honest, and sometimes raw. But beneath the laughter and stories runs a deeper question at the heart of Becoming You: How do we make choices about love that actually serve the lives we want to build?
Along the way, Suzy shares new data from Becoming You Labs about the state of Belovedness—the value that measures our desire for intimate partnership. The results will likely surprise you.
Because the lies we tell about love can be convincing. But the truth about who we are—and what we want—is waiting. Just press play.
