Falling in love family essay

In the contemporary U.S. an individual’s choice of partner – and related decisions about dating, sex, cohabitation, marriage, the division of household responsibilities, or remaining single – are typically understood as some of the most intimate, personal, decisions that one will make in a lifetime. Are they?

In this essay, consider the ways in which our individual “choices” are constrained by social (including economic, legal, cultural, and structural) factors. How does the influence of these external forces shape your understanding of “falling in love” or “finding the one” – if at all?
