Romance has never been just about love. It has been shaped by power, religion, economics, literature, and social rules that dictated who could love whom, and how loudly. In this episode of Compact History, we explore how romance evolved from arranged marriages and courtly love to personal choice, passion, and modern relationships, tracing how societies across history have defined intimacy, desire, and emotional connection.
