In this show Colette will interview Dr. Greg Baer, author of Real Love in Marriage. Unconditional love is what we all seek, but most of us have never really experienced it. Early on we learn that love is conditional: that people give us love and approval when we do what they want, and when we don’t, they love us less. From this we’ve learned to settle for Imitation Love. Real love is caring about the happiness of another person without any thought for what we might get. We’ll learn that although most of us marry for the purpose of receiving love, marriage is actually an opportunity to give love unconditionally. Giving and receiving Real Love is the only way to experience lasting happiness. Dr. Baer will discuss how many people expect sex to create love in a relationship, but sex cannot create Real Love. Building Real Love in a marriage, on the other hand, guarantees the best sex imaginable. Sex is a wonderful addition to marriage, but sex can never be a substitute for Real Love.
