Episode notes
Love Is Just a Feeling
- Love is primarily a feeling and feelings are not solid or anchored to reality.
- People can experience conflicting emotions simultaneously, making love an unreliable basis for decisions.
Don’t Marry Just For Love
- Avoid marrying solely because you are "in love" since feelings change over time.
- Consider what happens if feelings fade or change to someone else down the road before committing.
Actions Build Commitment
- Actions, not feelings, sustain relationships because they build connection and commitment.
- Commitment grows from the investment of effort and doing things for each other.
