About this episode

In this episode, I talk about love and what it means in a broad sense. I discuss how it is expressed as an emotion, where and when it applies, who it applies to, how it affects your life, and the essential value it has.

I talk about the common idea of love, which is romanticism, and the difference between a romantic relationship and love. I discuss the role of love in a relationship and where it fits with all the other elements that make up a healthy relationship.
