Abstract:
Romantic relationships impact individuals' mental and physical health across the lifespan. The link between relationships and health may be especially intertwined during transitions. Examining three seasons of romantic relationships-dating, the transition to parenthood, and bereavement-links each season with health. To best support the health of relationships and the individuals in them, domain-specific policy recommendations address experiences of dating, pregnancy/parenting, and grieving. Broad-scale recommendations cover education, placemaking, research and funding, and community efforts to support individual health across various relational seasons.
