Have you ever noticed how animals on a farm are usually methodical and overall pretty happy?  Yeah, me too...

I didn’t learn love from greeting cards or romantic comedies.  I learned it standing in mud, holding a gate, watching animals that had zero interest in my feelings and absolutely no problem telling the truth.

Farm animals don’t read self-help books.  They live it. Loudly. Honestly. Repeatedly.

Join Dave for some rural observations like:

1. Love Shows Up on Schedule
2. Affection Is Earned, Not Negotiated
3. Boundaries Are Not Cruel
4. Love Can Be Loud Without Being Violent
5. You Can Care Deeply Without Hovering
6. Loyalty Doesn’t Require Constant Validation
7. Forgiveness Is Immediate or It Never Happens
8. Everyone Has a Job
9. Care Is Practical Before It’s Emotional
10. Sometimes Love Means Letting Go

Animals taught me this: Love is not poetic, Love is procedural.  Love is physical, repetitive, inconvenient, and deeply grounding.

If your definition of love wouldn’t survive a winter on a farm,  it probably won’t survive real life either.

Love doesn’t need polish.  It needs grit.

And sometimes the best relationship advice comes from something chewing grass
 and minding its own business.

Giddyup!!!
