> Seems more like a failing of our society to recognize the importance of relationships. I'd argue this is especially true in the US where we obsess over careers and monetary wealth much more than we emphasize the importance of friendships, family, and romance.

I apologize; I thought this was just generally accepted as fact so I appreciate you pointing out my own bias.

This article mentions how the US is more materialistic than other countries, although it's not the main point of the article. Still, I do find the other points equally interesting. http://www.apa.org/monitor/2009/01/consumerism.aspx
