Are you buying into the myth that love should just magically work? Forget fairy tales—real, lasting love takes effort, communication, and intention.

We dive into:
✅ The essential ingredient for a strong relationship: Trust
✅ Why conflict avoidance is ruining your connection
✅ The biggest myths about love (and how they set you up for failure)
✅ Small, daily habits to affair-proof your relationship
✅ The six-second kiss—does it really work?

🚀 Plus, we explore how relationship science can help men build better, more fulfilling partnerships. Whether you're in a relationship or looking for one, this episode is packed with practical, research-backed strategies to improve intimacy, communication, and connection.
