I am a believer in love. Soul changing, life altering, die in each other’s arms when we’re gray love. I am also a scientist-practioner. There is more and more data showing that long-lasting love does exist and can persevere. There are ways to build it, cultivate, protect it, and cherish it. Deep human connection continues to be one of our most fundamental needs for meaning, purpose, and survival.”
