When Love Requires More Than Chemistry

What if the greatest love story you'll ever write isn't about finding the perfect person, but about becoming one? Most of us approach relationships like we're casting a movie-searching for someone who fits our fantasy of the ideal partner. We swipe, date, and discard based on superficial criteria, convinced that chemistry and compatibility are enough. But here's the uncomfortable truth: the divorce rate hasn't budged despite unlimited dating options, relationship podcasts, and couples therapy apps. Something fundamental is missing from how we think about love. The missing piece isn't a better partner-it's a deeper relationship with ourselves. This journey inward, this willingness to examine our patterns and stories, transforms love from something that happens to us into something we consciously create.
