When two people are committed to living one another regardless of money or circumstance regardless of if you like them today. Two people that are emotionally mature and looking out for their person’s best interest at heart! Honesty and communication
The best quote I got from this channel was: do yourself a favor and if it's a maybe, then take it as a no. If you have doubt, it's a no. And this applies to jobs and promotions, relationships, everything! It's life changing!
But also it’s a natural stage of relationships to go through a questioning period, where we feel some uncertainty. Dating anxiety is real, the feelings of uncertainty can arise, as we feel out how we and the other person feel… for me a little doubt on either side, can be quite healthy and a sign that we’re awake and not caught up in infatuation.
I think you are correct but missed the point that was trying to be made. He saying that, is a way to protect your feelings and to slow down and don’t get your hopes up to high. Stay in reality and be honest with yourself. Stop pouring everything into people and situation, that have to much power over you emotionally, to early.
To be lasting, a relationship needs much more than love. It needs dialogue, daily nourishment of emotional connections, quality time, respect, mercy to forgive and humility to admit when you make mistakes...
Been married for 15 years and all of this is so true👍🏼💖 the secret to a long lasting relationship is the ability to value/fight for each other through all the challenges and changes of life.
The complexity he describes of the toxic intermittent reward type of relationship (the hot/cold dynamic, where it’s mostly cold and lonely but occasionally is great) DOES make it very confusing and difficult to extricate oneself from such relationships, but it is so important to trust your own feelings enough to not stay in such dysfunctional and confusing relationships. I owe my life and my current good health to staying away from such dysfunctional relationships, and continue to stay vigilant against any such relationships. I have so much compassion and love and yet I have to prioritize my own health and sanity to have a life at all.
“You have to separate your perception of someone from how they make you feel”… I rewound and listened to that again. Absolute. Truth. 🙏🙌✨ (and would have been nice to know before I spent a year around someone who made me feel like a neurotic piece of garbage just because I thought they were cool. News flash: they weren’t.)
I love the intention vs attention. So true. Consistency is telling. The most powerful thing I ever heard is "when people tell you who they are" (by actions) believe them.
It's so tempting to settle for someone who sweeps you off your feet in the first date. But do they have what it takes to create a healthy relationship? The willingness to be vulnerable and open in your communications about how you feel, what you need and what you don't like will and to be a support system for the other person will create a great foundation for a lasting relationship.
I have seen this in my roommate's relationship. If he gets upset she talks about it. Whatever he does that upsets her she will have a conversation about it. She is honest yet kind. She tells him what She will not tolerate. They have come a very long way in just a short time. I'm learning a lot.
My parents had 1 date and got married. They were married 56 years until my dad died. I am the result of love at first sight. It exists. I'm proof of it.
But you’re missing the point. You can say your parents’ relationship was love at first sight because it worked out. But how many other situations that people thought was “love at first sight” didn’t work out in comparison? Your parents’ situation may be more the exception than the rule.
You have to work on a relationship for it to be balanced, healthy, and strong. There is no secret. Happy couples have certain habits. From my experience, our habits are the following: 1. Express Gratitude and Appreciation 2. Be Kind, Randomly 3. Have Fun, and Celebrate 4. Invite Connection 5. Have Deep Conversations 6. Ask When You Need Something 7. Have and Enforce Healthy Boundaries 8. Love Unconditionally Remember to love ALL of your partner (strengths and shortcomings), connect every day, have fun, and fight fairly.
I cried watching this video. For a good reason. We have been practicing most of this in my current relationship. We both cant believe we almost called it quits like 25 times in the first 3 months. Until we both admitted we really want to try to be together. Since we made this admission to each other, things have been so much easier. We are still working through our differences but we have a commitment to each other that we are both going....nowhere...so we have given each other no other choice than to try harder. Its a beautiful and enriching process.
That is how I feel. He made me feel lonely and not at peace, that is why I turn him down first. Thank You for this. I finally define how I feel with my relationship.
I absolute love what Matthew is saying about curiosity to dismantle internal beliefs. It makes me think of the feedback loop process that’s described in the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. You get curious and try to do something else besides fight or flight in a relationship… and because your curiosity leads you to do something different, you get a different response, and it signals a new cue of a potential feedback loop. So you’re more likely to repeat that behavior again if you’re “rewarded” (get a positive response). Therefore, you begin the process of building vulnerability into a habit to become a better partner.
Matthew is delightful; Lisa offers an open platform to allow guests to fully articulate. As an aside, Lisa’s arms are well-toned. Thank you for this discussion platform.
These are all very relevant points. But I was dating someone consistently and I mean consistency every way. Calls m, texts, time spent with each other, dates, and they dropped me like a hot potato in the most selfish way possible after two months. It was one of the worst betrayals someone put me through. Selfish is an understatement. Consistency doesn’t aways mean something is going to go as we plan
Cruel and unusual punishment is what I call it. You need to see the tiny signs they are always there. Listen to yout intuition. He could only muster up 2months of work. Then he gave up..
that happened to me with someone diagnosed with high functioning autism; in his case, he said maintaining a relationship (for him, in general) was too much work, and he had forgotten how much work it was since he had been single for a while.
i have always watched your videos for help, i have been in a very rocky marriage and all i tried to make sure the marriage worked, never worked tried everything but to no avail, we got seperated last year,sadly i still love her and i dont know what to do.
same here, i have been in such a situation and i love my wife and unfortunately we divorced about two years ago but i couldnt just let anything make us get seperated so i had to do all i could to get her back, now we have been back together for over a year now,and i must say i am enjoying every moment of it, i couldnt let the love of my life go.
@@aaroncecil5381 well i couldnt let her go and a friend of mine introduced me to a spiritual adviser who helped me out by bringing her back, she is a caster and i can say she is very good at what she does,i am a living testimony.
Wow, this is the most powerful interview I've ever watched. So many take aways for me. Thank you for this. I've taken myself out of the dating game for 20 years. You both just handed me a paradigm shift.
My God, I went 7 years with out dating after my divorce. It is so hard getting back into it. Esp when you meet someone exactally the way he describes the one who doesn't make the time fir you
I really appreciate your content and admire Matthew for his great insight and contribution to navigating the difficult issues that arise in the path towards healthy relationships.
I think we put up with the bad bc the dating pool is so small. We don't want to seem too picky or expect perfection bc their's no such thing. Another reason is the chemistry which is not talked about enough. Woman put up with A LOT when the chemistry is super good!
This! one of my worst relationships ever was with someone who had great "chemistry" with me, but both of my longer and healthier relationships were with men who truly never satisfied me but i felt emotionally close and secure with. it really seems like you can't have both at once 🤣
Your goals and values need to match. Else you'll just be fighting a lot so love is about having a similar mindset and making a decision together to share and enrich each other's lives.
Counseling is very helpful to learn skills bring things up that can help but both have to agree and love each other to work on the relationship. Good luck to all
Thanks for the words of wisdom! It helps me reflect on my own speech and actions and gives a sound judgment toward people in general and toward opposite sex specifically. May God bless you, both!
Such an incredibly powerful conversation on such an important set of issues in relationships that I am certain many can relate to if not all, so much to learn hear Lisa And Matthew so many truths and golden nuggets of wisdom and insight to bring awareness insight and transformation to in our relationships thank you this was a brilliant and important topic and interview keep up the great work!🙂💗
Great to hear your inviting him back, can you discuss How to cope with low self esteem that came from a partner that intentionally withheld needs you communicated to them you wanted but made excuses and n no effort to meet those needs (such as attention & quality time) Why do people do this, when in the beginning they made you feel like the center of their universe.
That's what I have been looking for, someone who would embrace my vulnerability and make me feel safe. I offer that and it has yet to be reciprocated. I refuse to believe that "all men are bad". It's never been a gender issue either anyway, anyone you have a close relationship with can hurt you. The best friend(s), yes both, that slept with your husband. Real honest, raw people with empathy and emotion, where are you? I refuse to armor my heart, I am the eternal optimist and I know you're out there...somewhere ♥
Having a divorce 2.5 years ago and it was a 24-year marriage I didn't realize that people do change and that is the hard part in having the key for a happy marriage to stay in sync we grew apart and I ignored the signs in our first year and I shouldn't have because it came back to the top! But now I chose to have a peaceful divorce and wish eachother happiness. Because we have 2 kids and we will have to co parent the rest of our days
It sucks tho… because if you both are in the high on a date and the next day he tells you he is interested and then he disappears. How are we going to finally trust someone if this happens all the time. I don’t think is fair and very immature.
The curiosity bit… genius! That’s gotta be one of the best pieces of practical advice on healing I’ve ever heard. Life changing stuff, extremely interesting interview! Thank you!
Sending messages everyday it doesn't mean connection at all. I have a life and i hope the other person have a life too :). I love this video! So wise Matthew! Thank you!
nah, that's a bunch of barriers honestly. if you are distant and introverted sure, do as you will, but it's not because they have a life or not (communicating daily specially in the first months of a relationship is pretty easy and just comes around naturally if you like each other...)
the thing is at the we had all the necessary conversation about the goal of the relationship to have family yes me too. We had 3 years long distance relationship in between we had a lot of conversation about checking our feeling and next steps. He always was the positive one and told me we could overcome all the challenges. When we met again after 5 months he decided to break up no room for discussion. He said he made up his mind last 2 weeks, he already disconnected. Not sure how he did it just shut down like a computer and unplug. =(
I totally agree with the fact that people change over time and circumstances change perhaps they are chasing cures for their trauma, and have the need to heal by looking for perhaps different people, or one person that could maybe similar to their hurts so they can identify with and go deeper in their needs or perhaps they are trying to scape the person that already knows them and want to Procrastinate their cure by hiding away, running away with somebody else this is based from my personal experiences with people in my life and myself personally.
Some really great advice. I'm afraid I've given up after all these years and feel content in that. I felt like I did a lot of these things, and they didn't respect it, so I moved on.
Robbed peace is a huge red flag. How that person makes us feel is extremely important to face. I have a man asking me out right now who has disappeared each time we get a little closer. I need to tell him this- finally and see what he says about it. I need to ask pertinent, practical questions on this upcoming date, even. At the end. I have to do it. I need to say" Are you committed to remaining single?" I need to know what is the basis on which he is seeing me and seeking me out? I need to approach his emotional Approach avoidance attachment style which has hurt me over and over and if it happens again,nit will be the fourth time. I cannot go through this again. I MUST ask him where he is at.
I love Matthew and all of his tips. However, I disagree with his "playful" approach if a guy does not text for 5 days after the first date. I'd write this guy off if it took him 5 days to text.
I'm just really curious I have recently noticed something why is the beginning of all relationships so amazing why can't that be sustained through the whole relationship especially because you fall more in love with each other as you get to know one another 🥰💖
Because life is messy and sad and complicated, romance and lust is great but real love is taking all the good and all the bad and sticking together through life's storms, that's the real deep and satisfying love.
@@charlottebruce979 see, you have to be careful about "sticking through the bad", since for a lot of women that means staying with an abuser/toxic relationship just because of "loyalty"
I think one of the keys to a good relationship is are you both open to change. Is the person you with rigid or able to change and open to feedback and able to act on it? I think if they aren't or you aren't it will be an uphill struggle.
God Bless You! Victimization is of a low vibration; there are only lessons to be learned for your souls growth (higher consciousness). Trust the process.🌹Relationships are beautiful mirrored reflections of ourselves.❤ Peace and Love, Hanifah Hightower, Detroit
I was in a relationship (marriage) for 21 years. During that time my husband wanted me to build while he played. I accepted that role for 21 years then literally had to leave or die from my body shutting down. During our marriage he turned our children against me. To this day me and my children do not have a relationship. The reason is that I do not allow them to disrespect me any longer. Am I wrong. My children are 40+ years old. Is it selfish of me to not be in their lives? I was the one who allowed the relationship and I was the one who had to leave. How do I reconcile not being in their lives?
If you're children don't see how much you did for them then that's their loss, hold on to your beliefs and values and don't give up yourself for the sake of reassurance from them.
Don't force it. Even your kids can be assholes to you, not just your partner (sadly). Maybe one day you'll reconect, but let them come to you. meanwhile, reflect on what you did wrong, but don't get caught up in guilt, and don't force a bond with your sons
That helped me so much. I met that guy online I felt so much for. He felt and still feels like the one though we never met in person. But he consistently ignored my need for more contact even though I told him exactly how I felt. I told him I wanted him more than he wanted me... I think I was right. Just want him so much he's so perfect for me but he doesn't care enough 😢
What do you think is the secret for long lasting love?
Form a friendship first.
When two people are committed to living one another regardless of money or circumstance regardless of if you like them today. Two people that are emotionally mature and looking out for their person’s best interest at heart! Honesty and communication
I think the secret to long lasting love is quality time, perhaps.
For me, honesty, respect and , honor, are some of the most important things for me.

I love when he says "attention is not intention"! Great message there. And how being generous and giving describes real love from a person.
The complexity he describes of the toxic intermittent reward type of relationship (the hot/cold dynamic, where it’s mostly cold and lonely but occasionally is great) DOES make it very confusing and difficult to extricate oneself from such relationships, but it is so important to trust your own feelings enough to not stay in such dysfunctional and confusing relationships.

You have to work on a relationship for it to be balanced, healthy, and strong.
There is no secret.
Happy couples have certain habits.
From my experience, our habits are the following:
1. Express Gratitude and Appreciation
2. Be Kind, Randomly
3. Have Fun, and Celebrate
4. Invite Connection
5. Have Deep Conversations
6. Ask When You Need Something
7. Have and Enforce Healthy Boundaries
8. Love Unconditionally
Remember to love ALL of your partner (strengths and shortcomings), connect every day, have fun, and fight fairly.
I’ve try done 90% of the this list. My bf feels I’m too desperate in the relationship. He’s not used to. He doesn’t like it when I do 4,5,6,7
He hates connect everyday. He likes me time once a while. The connecting , daily bathing in love isn’t what men look for

That is how I feel. He made me feel lonely and not at peace, that is why I turn him down first. Thank You for this. I finally define how I feel with my relationship.
I did that yesterday. At last I finally ended our relationship with emotionally unavailable man
“That person cannot be relied upon to serve my peace…”
So true. Yet I worked so hard to serve his peace. I know in my heart that now I’m DONE.

Great to hear your inviting him back, can you discuss

Some really great advice. I'm afraid I've given up after all these years and feel content in that. I felt like I did a lot of these things, and they didn't respect it, so I moved on.
Humility is not easy to admit or accept, but I believe that when it ‘clicks’ humility can be an important key!
I love this guy. Thank you!
Really powerful and helpful as always 🙏🏼❤️ Thank you
Amazing insights. Eye opener
I loveeee these collaborations! Love you too beautiful humans!
The no. Of ads in this episode was surprising. 😬
This was an amazing interview, thank you both so much very very helpful and very appreciative!!!
Dang this is the most powerful video I’ve watched. Thank you!
Literally just be friends first...
Robbed peace is a huge red flag. How that person makes us feel is extremely important to face. I have a man asking me out right now who has disappeared each time we get a little closer. I need to tell him this- finally and see what he says about it. I need to ask pertinent, practical questions on this upcoming date, even. At the end. I have to do it.
I need to say" Are you committed to remaining single?"
I need to know what is the basis on which he is seeing me and seeking me out?
I need to approach his emotional
Approach avoidance attachment style which has hurt me over and over and if it happens again,nit will be the fourth time. I cannot go through this again.
I MUST ask him where he is at.
Thank you so much for this topic..amazingly articulated !
When he mentioned "curiosity " 🤯👌
Loving Matthew Hussey as a guest on your show❤
Matthew Hussey.... another Brilliant interview. Thank you!
I love Matthew and all of his tips. However, I disagree with his "playful" approach if a guy does not text for 5 days after the first date. I'd write this guy off if it took him 5 days to text.
Sometimes writing things off too quickly can lead to missing out on something great. People aren't black and white and can redeem themselves later
O.M.G 🤯 so much value in these messages! I have a lot of work to do 😅
I'm just really curious I have recently noticed something why is the beginning of all relationships so amazing why can't that be sustained through the whole relationship especially because you fall more in love with each other as you get to know one another 🥰💖
Because life is messy and sad and complicated, romance and lust is great but real love is taking all the good and all the bad and sticking together through life's storms, that's the real deep and satisfying love.
@@charlottebruce979 see, you have to be careful about "sticking through the bad", since for a lot of women that means staying with an abuser/toxic relationship just because of "loyalty"
Love this energy. Honest and clear and on the mark.
I heard people don't change over time, they change you.
Thank you for this advice!
I think one of the keys to a good relationship is are you both open to change. Is the person you with rigid or able to change and open to feedback and able to act on it? I think if they aren't or you aren't it will be an uphill struggle.
God Bless You! Victimization is of a low vibration; there are only lessons to be learned for your souls growth (higher consciousness). Trust the process.🌹Relationships are beautiful mirrored reflections of ourselves.❤ Peace and Love, Hanifah Hightower, Detroit
Matthew got wings of those white furry cushions 🤩🥳
I love what he said about love at first sight
Thank you so much can’t get enough from your amazing advice
Loved it! Thank you 🙌🏼
Thank you for sharing. This is a great conversation and it is teaching me to shift my thinking.
This is an amazing. presentation with so much truth. ❤
Thank you, so valuable. I appreciate this information 💓
I was in a relationship (marriage) for 21 years. During that time my husband wanted me to build while he played. I accepted that role for 21 years then literally had to leave or die from my body shutting down. During our marriage he turned our children against me. To this day me and my children do not have a relationship. The reason is that I do not allow them to disrespect me any longer. Am I wrong. My children are 40+ years old. Is it selfish of me to not be in their lives? I was the one who allowed the relationship and I was the one who had to leave. How do I reconcile not being in their lives?
If you're children don't see how much you did for them then that's their loss, hold on to your beliefs and values and don't give up yourself for the sake of reassurance from them.
@@judyheaton3065 Thank you so much! 🌹
Don't force it. Even your kids can be assholes to you, not just your partner (sadly). Maybe one day you'll reconect, but let them come to you. meanwhile, reflect on what you did wrong, but don't get caught up in guilt, and don't force a bond with your sons

"The culture of that coffee shop" 👏👏👏 Matthew nailed that situation. That's news I can use. ❤

There should be more Mathews to go around for this generation.
That helped me so much. I met that guy online I felt so much for. He felt and still feels like the one though we never met in person. But he consistently ignored my need for more contact even though I told him exactly how I felt. I told him I wanted him more than he wanted me... I think I was right. Just want him so much he's so perfect for me but he doesn't care enough 😢
If he doesn't care for you he is not 'perfect' for you
Absolute fantasy....shake yourself out of it.
Thank you for this. I found it at just the right time. I'm ready to become curious ❤️😃❤️
