Platonic relationships can improve quality of life

The importance of having a romantic relationship is well-known, especially when we grow up in an environment that emphasizes finding "the one." With that one person, our life will feel complete and perfect. But in reality, sometimes we forget that there is another relationship that is just as important as romance, namely platonic relationships.
The concept of platonic relationships comes from the Greek philosopher named Plato, who first described this idea. In a platonic relationship, there is emotional and spiritual closeness between two people without the presence of romance and sex, and this closeness can help them become better humans. Platonic relationships thrive when two people love, admire, and are committed to each other, often by sharing similar interests or perspectives. Although 68 percent of platonic relationships turn into romantic relationships, they are considered more important because they can help build healthier romantic relationships. The role of platonic relationships is to teach communication, compromise, and various aspects that are important in a romantic relationship.
