I think it would be good for people's family relationships as well as romantic ones. It doesn't necessarily mean the extraordinary level of support many of the families of the Olympians provide, but at least not mocking or trying to discourage someone. As an example, Arthur's mother always has found me inexplicable in many ways, but never has said anything actually negative. When I was in a group singing women's traditional Balkan music, she said it was "interesting." Clearly not to her taste, but nothing disparaging.
My parents were also very supportive, within the limits of what they felt a teenager should not do.
