Tell that to two people who have been married for decades and have weathered storms and one of them got sick and the other one drove them to the hospital every week.
and their relative had a drug problem and you had to put up with that relative with the drug problem because this is the love of your life, but you figured it out together.
That to me is love.
Love isn't I went on a date and now like, oh my God, I feel the best I've ever felt.
and it requires discipline and it requires being connected to your to your why to your reasons why the relationship itself is important i think that's one of the most um missed things in so many relationships is i have these things i call emotional buttons and they are basically
how I access an emotion that I want to feel again.
So, for example, there's a moment in the movie The Fighter with Mark Wahlberg and... Christian Bale.
Christian Bale.
There's a moment where Mark Wahlberg is... This is going to sound crazy specific, but this is how emotional buttons are.
Mark Wahlberg is about to go into his last fight and he's nervous and his brother comes up to him and he puts his head on his head and he just rocks with him.
And the crowd is going crazy and you can feel the chaos and the nerves and his bigger brother just comes and makes him feel safe.
And that scene, I get goosebumps as I say it, that scene, I cannot think of that scene without thinking about the kind of brother I... I have two younger brothers.
Without thinking of the kind of brother I want to be to my brothers.
My... No, I'm not going to say that one because that one's about Audrey and it's too... She doesn't know I have this emotional button, but it's... LAUGHTER
No, because it's a little thing she does.
If I say it, she will stop doing it because she'll become aware of it.
And it makes me love her so much.
But it's a little thing she does.
And when she does it, I feel a deep... It's not a rational thing.
I feel a deep, deep sense of love for her.
