Hi there,
No one teaches us how to love.
And because we don’t really grow up with a true understanding and education of how to date, how to pick partners, how to build and sustain relationships, or even how to recover from heartbreak, so many of us are operating under a fundamental myth about love.
We think love is a feeling.
It means believing that relationships are easy and effortless. That you’ll feel in love all the time — and that if you don’t have that head-over-heels feeling all day, every day, you should doubt the relationship.
The tough truth is that you cannot make a relationship work with someone who thinks that love is just a feeling. And you can’t be a mature, healthy partner, either, if you’re buying into that myth.
Anyone can fall in love. That’s the easy part.
But if you’re seeking a relationship, you must understand what really makes up love — beyond the butterflies. And you have to make sure that the person you choose understands this, too.
Let’s get into it.
