Watch this video for our favorite and best dating advice after 27 years years together. Hear Ted and I open up about the intentional choices that have sustained our loving relationship. Whether you’re just starting your dating journey or looking to build a deeper, more fulfilling connection, we’ll will help you approach new and current relationships with clarity and purpose.
First, we suggest you explore what you truly want in a partner—before you even start dating! Write your heart and mind’s vision for a meaningful relationship and then reverse-engineering your dating choices to align with that vision. Instead of relying on “people hopefully liking you,” we encourage a thoughtful approach: identifying core values, recognizing what makes you feel valued, and looking for a potential partner aligns with these key elements.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ How to get clear on what you truly want in a partner
✔️ The key indicators of a healthy, long-lasting relationship
✔️ The power of mutual appreciation and open communication
✔️ How to avoid settling while staying realistic about love
✔️ Why small daily actions matter more than grand romantic gestures

How Do You Know If Someone Will Respect and Cherish You?
Respect and appreciation should be evident early on in any relationship. Some key indicators include:
- They actively listen to you – Do they engage in conversations with curiosity and care, or do they dominate discussions and dismiss your feelings?
- They acknowledge and appreciate you – Saying “thank you” for even small gestures shows they value your efforts.
- They follow through on their words – Consistency is key. If they say they’ll do something, do they actually do it?
- They respect your boundaries – A good partner understands and honors your comfort levels instead of pushing them.
If you’re questioning whether someone will cherish you in the long run, observe their actions rather than just their words.
