Episode 2545: Evan Marc Katz challenges the myth that passion must define a great relationship, emphasizing that true compatibility and emotional safety often lead to deeper love over time. By distinguishing between compromise and settling, he urges readers to assess whether they're building a fulfilling life or simply avoiding loneliness because marrying someone who isn't your favorite person is a path to long-term dissatisfaction. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.evanmarckatz.com/blog/marriage/is-it-a-bad-sign-to-not-feel-passion-when-youre-engaged Quotes to ponder: "Compromise and settling both involve tradeoffs; the difference is how you feel about it afterward. You compromise your way into happiness. You settle your way into misery." "If you 'don't feel much' towards your fiancé, he shouldn't be your fiancé." "Good relationships get stronger over time. Bad relationships peak early and go downhill over time." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
