When Daniel Jones started the Modern Love column in 2004, he opened the call for submissions and hoped the idea would catch on. Twenty years later, over a thousand Modern Love essays have been published in The New York Times, and the column is a trove of real-life love stories.\n\nDan has put so much of himself into editing the column over the years, but as he tells our host, Anna Martin, the column has influenced him, too. Today, Dan shares three Modern Love essays that have changed the way he thinks about love and relationships in his own life.\n\nAlso, Anna announces the beginning of a special series of episodes celebrating Modern Love\u2019s 20th anniversary.\n\nThe Modern Love essays mentioned in this episode are: \nOne Bouquet of Fleeting Beauty, Please \nNursing a Wound in an Appropriate Setting\nMy First Lesson in Motherhood
