“The holidays can be a scary time” for couples, says Sabrina Romanoff, a New York-based psychologist and relationship expert at dating app Hily.

The S&P 500 index has been positive in three-quarters of every calendar year since 1958, when the index was created in its current form.

In addition to this generally favorable outlook, the current situation provides little reason to overthink the default stance of bland bullishness. The bull market has been going on for 38 months and…
