How do you know if someone truly loves you... Or that you love them?Most of us have spent our lives searching for love, but few of us have ever stopped to ask what it actually is. We often mistake love for passion, attraction, or words—but what if love is something much deeper?In this episode, we'll explore how psychology, ancient wisdom, and our own life experiences shape the way we understand love. Together we'll consider whether love is less about what we say or feel, and more about where we invest our time, our attention, and our willingness to sacrifice for another person's good.Because if we don't know what love is, it's difficult to know whether we've found it, or whether we're offering it to others.Let's take this one thought at a time.00:00 How Do You Know If Someone Truly Loves You?00:11 What Is Love, Really?04:50 The Different Types of Love Explained07:23 The Psychology of Love10:38 Is Love a Feeling or a Choice?23:10 Why Love Always Costs Something27:01 Final Thoughts
