A Couple weeks ago an attendee at our annual Think Better, Live Better conference asked me an interesting question:

What’s something real Love never does to you?

And just now I received almost the exact same question in an email from a reader.  So this seems to be a topic worth discussing…

Over the past decade, Angel and I have coached hundreds of incredible students who were struggling to find real love in their relationships, and we’ve also spoken to hundreds of happy couples that were willing to share their “real” love stories with us.  All of this has given us keen insight into the beliefs and behaviors that both help and hurt people’s relationships.

So today, I want to publicly reply to both our conference attendee and reader (with their permission of course), and take a close look at one key thing real love absolutely never does to you.

But before we get to that one thing, let me tell you a quick story about a happy couple that’s still together, and deeply in love, nearly twenty years later…
