Love cannot be ordered up. 
Care cannot be demanded. 

If we want certain people to love us, or care about us, is there anything we can do to make that more likely?  

This episode explores various relational moves across three scenarios that might help to inspire more care for ourselves from other people.  We discuss:

• 1:36  The stove is broken.  How can I inspire my partner to care about this?
• 5:25  The two levels in every conversation: Tactical and Relational
• 9:43  How to amplify another's good intentions
• 16:59  How to have an honest discussion with a friend group?
• 21:05  Checking for shared purpose:  Do you still want a connection with me?
• 23:36  How to show up differently in a conflict
• 31:23  Strategies for getting my HOA to care about our well water
