    How to use «Modern» in context?

    love

    There’s a lot of talk today about what «modern» love actually is. Is it based on communication and honesty? On respecting each other’s individuality? On mutual respect and understanding? On being comfortable in your own skin? On doing what you think is right, even if it’s not what the other person wants?

    For some, the answer is a clear and unqualified yes. For others, it might be more ambiguous and subjective.
