Marriage dynamics in the modern world | Dr. Nicole Chen | TEDxHELP University

In this compelling talk, Dr. Nicole examines the hidden legacies shaping modern marriage dynamics, uncovering how systemic factors and socialization continue to influence relationships. She reflects on the historical view of women as burdens, valued primarily for what they could offer men through systems like dowries, and the enduring societal expectations placed on them, often in unexpected ways, despite progress in women’s education and empowerment. Drawing on her experience as a family therapist, Dr. Nicole highlights the importance of mutual trust, support, and shared leadership in modern partnerships. She challenges both men and women to question outdated narratives and reimagine marriage as a sanctuary of equality, authenticity, and connection. This talk is an invitation to reflect, rethink, and redefine the foundations of thriving relationships today.
