To summarize it shortly: Magic of love needs three things: Calm, Trust and Commitment. Calm refers to physiological calm, being able to listen&empathize rather than become defensive&attacking. Trust means both of you want to maximize benefits for both parties, rather than just yours, and this can be done by trying to see/understand in your partner’s perspective and catch their needs/wants Commitment means you cherish your partner, being grateful for what you have rather than what you don’t have. Mindset like this: “I’m lucky to have this person.”

Amazing to have experienced the grandparents love for you growing up. Even more amazing to hear about your 40th Anniversary. I was married for 28years, at the end before she filed for Divorce, she explained, it wasn’t me but her the party not content in the marriage, she explained she loved me but wasn’t in love with me…, it ripped my heart right out of my chest. It’s been 3 and a half years since we went each other’s way and looking forward in life for me today, I’m focusing on living one day at a time, bettering myself, taking care of my health, spiritually, mentally and physically and not focusing on women except my 3 daughters. I had chosen my ex as the woman for my journey and never made bad comparisons of bad wives and her, but still at the end, she pulled my life line away (Trust, Love and desire to serve) According to this video, she betrayed my trust because she was lonely, and it seems as if her bad behaviors should be forgiven…, well I had done just that but at the end, her feelings of loneliness didn’t by and stretch of the imagination, justify her lack of affection, bad behaviors and breaking of her husbands trust for her lack of desire to serve her husband as well as he served her. By the way, my ex wife had both parents to this day, still living together and they are the perfect picture of what love is. In the end, for having had my heart ripped out of my chest by the one woman I had chosen to spend the rest of my life with, I don’t believe love is a feeling but instead, love is a choice, and after 3 yrs since my divorce, I can’t picture myself with a woman who believes that serving her husband as well as he serves her isn’t an option…, isn’t someone whom I want to be with. I’m happy alone for now, with a potential candidate I find desire to be with and serve and be served…, but I’m giving a little more time, because I’m starting to see the magic of great love is possible, because love isn’t a feeling, but a choice.

Starting at 12:14 -> "Mutual trust comes from when both partners are maximizing the benefits of both people, not just one's person benefit against the other person. So, I'm always thinking about how my wife sees things. I can walk into a kitchen now, after thirty years of marriage, and view that kitchen the way my wife would see it. So I can say [to myself she] would be upset by that, so I clean it up." This reminded me that my father told me decades ago that he washed the dishes he used before going to work when my mother wasn't around because he knew that it would upset her if he left them in the sink for her to clean. My parents went through a lot together. They made it seem like it was the only thing to do. My father also told me once that he was lucky to have her in his life, as he must have told her often enough. It was then hard for me to fathom the depth of his love for her. It is much easier for me now.

I mean, depends on your definition of magic. I have a relationship like this, and we call it "magic" regularly, but that's because it seems so rare to find that. It's "magic" in that you feel so incredibly lucky to have this rare thing. It's the same as how people use the word "lucky". Like I can say "I'm so lucky I found you" and I don't mean I literally mean 'luck has brought us together'. I mean, "Damn, how in the world did I get such a rare thing?? How fortunate I am!". And even in that, I'm not saying I believe "fortune has brought you to me". I'm expressing gratitude for having something a lot of ppl don't have"

Good therapy improves a person's emotional stability and emotional intelligence. Wish my parents had had access to his work.

One thing he doesn’t talk about as far as the calm aspect, is that when one is dealing with a verbally abusive, negative, and untrustworthy spouse, it is difficult to ever be calm because you are always on guard. I’ve known several people who have a spouse that have the four negative Gottman horsemen, and all of them have difficulty being able to ever relax. The negative affects of living with someone like this over long periods of time takes such a toll on one’s nervous system that a once very “calm” person can not relax. I have a friend who works with battered women. She was also abused and had to escape her husband to a shelter. She has MS and says all the women she now works with in this shelter seem to have the same symptoms. I believe their nerves get worn out and would love to see more talk and research done on this.

For me it was just going to be enough to be out of it and be free, but since, life just keeps getting sweeter which I didn’t expect. There is hope. So happy to hear your survivor story Marie.

yah why continue to argue and be in conflict, we cant change people :)

My notes on the science of love: 3 factors of love: Commitment - cherish partner, notice good things about them, excitement about future, double down on staying together, loyalty. Trust - interest in each other, know how the other will feel, do nice things for each other. Calm - Shared humor, understanding, gentle, reassuring, listening. Avoid negative emotions - 5x more positivity to negativity. anger, sadness, fear, hostility, disappointment, making comparisons between partner and real or imagined alternatives, betrayal.

All good things considered, I think the most important piece is missing from the talk: what is the attractor in a given situation and how can we influence where it is. This practical piece is needed.

Love it! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to us to improve our relationships with our couples, I needed it

One of the most fascinating presentations I have seen on the topic of love

Starting at 18:00 -> The influence function told me a lot about where I went wrong in one relationship. Starting at 19:30 -> The influence function in phase space looks like a splendid way to find where the attractors are and how to aim for the first quadrant and stay clear of the third quadrant. I would venture that trust brings commitment, which in turn brings calm, but this is only a conjecture.

Great Talk and so true 🌻

This scientific study is in fact about relationships, not about love. Love is an ingredient in relationships, but only if we actively bring it there. True love is the thoughts and deeds of benevolence, which understandably is good to have in relationships. Trust is born in an atmosphere of true love, and so is calm and commitment (the magic triangle). These all come to life surrounded by a feeling of security, which in turn is awakened by - you guessed it: true love. If the relation lacks a two-sided will to think and act benevolently, it will most probably fail. So "the love equations" aren't of love, either, but of relationships. Love doesn't need any equations to be understood, it's so simple. It's all about attention, acceptance, care, nurturing, affection and healthy boundaries. It's positive energy from a source to a target. You either express love or you don't. Psychologically healthy individuals tend to express love, so if you don't, then there probably is something in yourself you need to heal. But that's another story.

Tranquility, can we measure it ? Love it thank you for your passion.

Nice
