I’ve dedicated my life to helping people better understand what love is, and to create amazing relationships in their lives. And it all started with me realizing that I wanted to know how to do those things, too.
After all, nobody wants to be mediocre when it comes to love. But I didn’t know if I could do any better.
So, to avoid that terrifying fate, I decided to travel across the country and interview couples who are experts at creating legendary, epic love, and figure out what they do differently than everyone else.
After three years, I’ve learned a lot of lessons in love. Some of them were not so easy, including going through my own devastating breakup after calling off my engagement. But I know there’s hope. I’ve seen it!
Here are 31 love lessons that everyone should know for successful, happy relationships with others, as well as yourself.
1. Love is a choice you make every day.

It’s easy to play it safe and comfortable. It’s natural to surrender what you want in the long-term for what is so easily accessible now. It’s hard to risk hurting yourself or someone else for the chance of creating something incredible.
3. Love isn’t fair, and that’s what makes it so beautiful.
