What Do You Mean When We Say “I Love You?”

What do we really mean when we say “I love you”?In this kickoff episode of our Love Series, we slow the whole thing down and get honest about how loaded the word love has become-because we use it for everything: our kids, our partners, our friends… and yes, tacos, movies, and thrift stores. No wonder relationships get confusing.We talk about why love isn’t just a feeling (and why that “rush” doesn’t last forever), how real love evolves into something deeper—safety, care, friendship, trust, respect, laughter, and the everyday choices that build a life together. Wendolyn shares her definition of love (“I want better for you than I want for myself”) and the way sacrifice shows up in parenting and partnership. Meredith breaks down why expecting one person to be everything sets us up to feel disappointed, and how clarity around needs, boundaries, and love languages can shift everything.You’ll leave with a simple 1% question to sit with this week: What does love look like to me—and what does it look like to you?
