We’ve all heard the phrase “love conquers all,” but does it really? In this episode of For the Love of Facts, we unpack the myth that love alone is enough to sustain a relationship. Using evidence-based research and real-world insight, we explore why commitment—not fleeting feelings—is the true foundation of lasting partnerships.

We break down what commitment actually means, how it shapes our behavior during tough times, and why it’s more predictive of relationship success than passion or compatibility. Plus, we bust five popular myths about what makes relationships work—and what doesn’t.

Whether you're dating, married, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge how you think about love, loyalty, and the work it takes to build something real.

Ever noticed how the loudest voices in relationship discussions are rarely the most knowledgeable? We certainly have. That's why we created this podcast – a sanctuary of evidence and empathy in a landscape dominated by hot takes and headline-chasing content.

As two therapists with over 20 years of combined experience, we're bringing something different to conversations about love, attachment, family, and healing. When everyone claims to have "done their research," we're here to ask the important questions: What research? How was it validated? Where's the nuance? Drawing from our backgrounds in couples therapy, family science, and clinical practice, we offer perspectives grounded in both scholarly rigor and real-world complexity.

What makes relationships so fascinating is that they exist at the intersection of multiple domains – science, culture, therapy, religion, and lived experience. They're not just about logic; they involve emotion, vulnerability, identity, and history. Each week, we'll explore this beautiful complexity, breaking down myths, responding to trends, and offering context when viral moments sweep across social media. Sometimes we'll challenge prevailing narratives, other times we'll validate what you might already sense is true. Always, we'll bring facts with heart – because relationships are sacred and facts are freeing.

This isn't a one-way conversation. We want to hear your questions, dilemmas, and "what would you do" moments. Send them our way, and we'll weave them into future episodes as we build a community of thoughtful, curious people who believe in the power of nuanced dialogue. Subscribe now and join us for real talk, rooted in facts, with plenty of room for feelings.
