Love as distinct from being in love is not merely a feeling.

So what is the difference here?

We're talking about knowing each other in really profound ways.

So then you had some really good questions around knowing each other to the point where you can actually speak into each other's lives in a very, in a fruit-bearing way.

Yeah.

Well, we've been talking about that, right?

We've been talking about meaningful risk.

I feel like over the last couple episodes, we've been talking about laughing together to promote like

vulnerability and connection right for all of these reasons yeah all of this takes some sort

of knowledge about each other some sort of knowing um and understanding you know what makes

my husband laugh or what makes do do I know how he or she

respond, my spouse responds to stress and how can I, you know, serve them in that way?

How can I love them in that way?

It's not automatic.

We aren't just going to think and know, right?

Yes.

And how do we get to know in the name of love are each other?
