41 The Love Test

 

In this episode Dr. Alex will talk about "The Love Test"

George Vaillant (part of the Harvard Study of Adult Development): “When the study began, nobody cared about empathy or attachment. But the key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.”

Do you want to experience true love? True love can only be found in relationships.

If you want to be sure if you love a person and vice versa, you have to listen to this episode.

Different Levels of Love:

• Little Love
• Medium Love
• Big Love

Something to ponder this week:

Get a piece of paper and write down your spouse's name or your partner's name. Answer these questions and on each of these questions, write down your answer to that. Label it as little love, medium, love, big love or what’s in it for me?

• Why do you believe they love you? Why do you believe you love them?

• What would or could make them stop loving you? What would or could make me stop loving that person?

• Which of my actions are making the other person angry? What does that person do that angers me?

• What else do you want for your life? What if that doesn’t ever happen?

• What if one of us changes?

• What if you meet someone else that you connect to?

• Do you keep a record of the other person’s ways that wronged you?
