Summary

Wonderful, healthy and fun relationships can seem magical. But the truth is that awesome relationships don't happen "magically." Not at all. Long-term couples who love their relationships are simply reaping the rewards of the intentional effort they've put in to their partnerships. Sounds easy, right? In theory, it is. But here's the issue: No one teaches you how to have a fantastic relationship. So even though many people would love to have a stronger, more satisfying connection with their partner and would be very happy to do the working of making their good relationship great... they literally do not know what, exactly, to do differently. The intention is there, but the knowledge is not. To fill this knowledge gap, award-winning documentary film director Roger Nygard spent over seven years sitting down with the thought leaders in the fields of marriage counseling and couples therapy to get ALL THE ANSWERS. The result is his film, The Truth About Marriage. And he's here on the podcast with me today to share all his insights and discoveries with YOU. For love, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby GrowingSelf.com

0:00.0	This is Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, and you're listening to the Love, Happiness, and Success Podcast.
0:09.1	Darling, you're my, you're my thrill.

0:23.6	Oh, and baby.
0:26.8	She's so good, isn't she?

0:34.6	And I thought it was perfect for us today, but not for the reason that you might think.
0:40.4	The song is called magic and she's singing about how magic and in love she feels.
0:46.2	And that's the myth about love, you guys. The myth is that it is magic. If you meet the right
0:53.7	person, it's just easy and effortless and you
0:57.4	are swept off your feet and you will be in blissful love forever. That is what we're sold from the
1:07.4	time we are kids, really, and then arrive into adulthood with the not as exciting
1:15.4	or fun reality that not actually the way relationships work.
1:20.8	They're not magic.
1:22.3	But this is actually better than I'm making it sound because if relationships are magic,
1:31.5	it means that you have to find that perfect person that you can have this magical experience
1:38.8	with and anything else kind of means that you're with the wrong person, that there's some
1:43.9	sort of
1:44.3	intrinsic flaw in, you know, maybe not your partner necessarily, but it's just like you're not
1:50.0	compatible. And so the only answer in that case is to perhaps end a relationship and keep
1:57.3	looking for the unicorn that you can have that magical experience with, right?
