We’ve all heard the phrase “love conquers all,” but does it really? In this episode of For the Love of Facts, we unpack the myth that love alone is enough to sustain a relationship. Using evidence-based research and real-world insight, we explore why commitment—not fleeting feelings—is the true foundation of lasting partnerships.

We break down what commitment actually means, how it shapes our behavior during tough times, and why it’s more predictive of relationship success than passion or compatibility. Plus, we bust five popular myths about what makes relationships work—and what doesn’t.

Whether you're dating, married, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge how you think about love, loyalty, and the work it takes to build something real.
