Deep dives
The Myth of Easy Love
Love is often portrayed as inherently easy and free from challenges, but this belief can lead to disillusionment and disappointment in relationships. Healthy, intimate partnerships are inherently complicated and require ongoing effort, self-reflection, and patience. The notion that love should be effortless leads many to believe that if difficulties arise, something must be wrong with themselves or their partner. Emphasizing the need for skills and understanding, the conversation encourages a shift from expecting romance to be simple to recognizing its complexities as a natural part of deep human connections.
