How to Create Attraction (it's built, not found) [Ep. #350]
What if attraction isn't something you simply have or don't have?
In this episode, Andrew takes a deeper look at attraction and how it affects dating, marriage, family, faith, and even the way we relate to ourselves.
We often assume that if we're attracted to someone, that feeling must mean something. Or that if we stop feeling attracted to our spouse, something must be wrong with the relationship.
But attraction is more complicated than that.
Our attention, time, curiosity, investment, and imagination can all influence what becomes attractive to us. And understanding that can change the way we approach crushes, marriage, fantasy, and long-term relationships.
The episode also explores how couples can experience novelty within commitment instead of constantly looking for something new outside the relationship. Sometimes falling in love again means becoming new people together and learning to see the person you've known for years with fresh eyes.
