The Power of Love – May 5, 2023

Live episode · May 5, 2023 · 41 min

On Cinco de Mayo and National Small Business Week, Agnes and Ryan catch up after tax season, talk about using ChatGPT to speed up paperwork, then turn to the power of love. Agnes lays out three kinds of love (first love, learning love and mature love), and they cover premarital counseling, why honest communication matters, living together before marriage, not disrespecting your partner in public, and standing up for a spouse against family.

Takeaways

  • Couples should talk early and often about money, kids, big purchases and expectations before committing to marriage.
  • Living together for a year or so shows the real person behind the best-behavior version you see while dating.
  • Never humiliate your partner in front of others or discuss relationship problems with friends; take issues to your partner privately or to a professional.
