Show Notes

Love at First Sight, They Complete You!...You Can Change Them?...Happily Ever After....the "GRAND" Gesture! We're breaking down the biggest romantic movie tropes you may be unknowingly buying into! Our romantic expectations can be sky high and out of touch. We can focus on and give value to the wrong things- "Why isn’t my partner getting me flowers, publicly declaring their love for me, or buying me lavish gifts?". 

We need to separate what’s realistic from what’s unrealistic, and distinguish between what you’ve been told “should” matter, from what actually does matter! No relationship is perfect, but resisting the influence of romantic comedies will enable you to create happier moments, and appreciate your relationship a lot more. It's key because happiness comes from pursuing what makes you happy, not pursuing what media or anyone else says you should.
