Bond: stories about relationships, money, and what ties us together

Bond can mean a lot. It can be the fragile tie between two people, the legal or financial link that keeps projects moving, or the social glue that holds communities and nations together. This tag collects reporting, analysis and human stories that explore those ties — from relationship breakups to government finances and team chemistry in sport.

Looking for quick reads about love and breakup, money and loans, or teamwork and trust? You’ll find pieces here that examine why bonds form, why they break, and what happens next. We keep it practical: short explanations, clear context, and links to full reports so you can read more when you want.

Personal bonds: love, breakup, second chances

Relationship bonds are messy and emotional. We cover TV moments and real-life breakups to show how patterns repeat and what people learn. Example: our piece on Carrie and Aidan’s relationship in ‘And Just Like That’ explores how old patterns turned a chance at love into a repeated cycle. If you want insight into how relationships shift, this tag points you to stories that unpack the reasons and the aftermath.

Financial and institutional bonds

Not all bonds are emotional. Financial bonds, loans and project agreements shape economies and daily life. Read reports on missed deadlines, idle loans and penalties that cost countries big sums, like the story on Kenya’s Ksh6 billion in fines from unspent foreign loans and delayed project payments. These stories explain the rules, the risks, and why timely action matters.

We also link to coverage about public projects that bind regions together, like major road inaugurations that open trade and ease travel. Those infrastructure stories show the practical side of bonds — how investments connect people, jobs and markets.

Want sports or culture? Bond shows up there too. Team chemistry and long-running franchises are forms of connection worth reading about. From a blockbuster film that launched a franchise to lookbacks at sporting squads finding momentum, this tag gathers examples of trust, leadership and rivalry.
