friendships in our current culture lasts about seven years. Hello, I'm Dan Clark and welcome. Yes, I think that's a fascinating stat job changes getting older, our children getting older, and being a more mobile culture creates smaller number of lifelong friends. So if you have a close friend, whoever from high school or college, that means you're not in the norm. That means that you have a unique skill that's learned by the time you're four or five years old, on how to have friendships because that skill is learned at home by the give and take of growing up with siblings or family members. Close friends take a lot of work. It is a lot of give and take. And that same research shows that having two or more times a month with a friend validated the feeling of being close or having close friends. So how are you doing on the friendship scale? Even if they change every seven years? Do you maintain those relationships? And how do you do that? What do you do to maintain your friendships? I love you. I'm Dan Clark.
