Love Life With Matthew Hussey

What makes a relationship truly great? Does it have to be hard to be meaningful? In today’s video, I speak with Rob Dial, host of The Mindset Mentor podcast, to find answers. We talk about the difference between the kind of “hard” that strengthens a relationship and the kind that drains it. From navigating challenges as a team to recognizing when effort becomes sacrifice in the wrong ways, this conversation will leave you with a fresh perspective on what it means to build a lasting, fulfilling connection. If you’ve ever wondered how to create a relationship where both people feel understood and safe, you can’t miss this! --- ►►  Grab your in-person or virtual ticket to the Weekend Retreat: MHRetreat.com   ►► Join the Love Life Club: JoinLoveLife.com

When you’re in love and someone decides to end the relationship, it’s natural for your brain to go into panic mode. Why are they doing this? How can I be the person they want me to be? What can I say to get them back? If you allow these swirling thoughts to take over, you’ll only end up pushing them further and further away. Now, I’m not going to tell you whether or not you should give it another try with your ex. There are many factors to consider, which we can talk about another time. But what I do know is that if you want a real chance of getting this person back in your life, you must understand this important truth before you take the next step... --- ►►  Grab your in-person or virtual ticket to the Weekend Retreat: MHRetreat.com ►► Join the Love Life Club: JoinLoveLife.com ►►

Dating fatigue is real. Given the option, I think most people would choose to bypass the process entirely and skip directly to being in a meaningful relationship. But since science isn’t quite there yet, how can you manage your energy so the dating process—the part you need in order to FIND that relationship—doesn’t burn you out before you even GET to the good stuff? In today’s Rewind episode, I share 5 tips that will help you find an energy-replenishing relationship rather than an energy-depleting one. You’ll learn how to: • Ease into getting to know someone rather than pinning all your hopes and dreams on them. • Communicate from a place of strength rather than insecurity. • Match your investment and energy to the stage of the relationship you’re actually in. You’ll want to bookmark this video and rewatch it before any date.

Why do we keep crashing into the same walls in love? In this conversation with Chris Williamson on his Modern Wisdom podcast, we explore the patterns that keep us stuck—whether it’s chasing unavailable partners, mistaking chaos for passion, or repeating cycles that leave us unfulfilled. We also talk about why these behaviors feel so familiar and how they’re often rooted in our past experiences rather than our actual desires. But here’s the good news: Breaking free is possible. And in this episode, you’ll learn how to rewire your instincts and create a new reality where peace and connection replace anxiety and uncertainty.  -- ►► Plan big, stay focused, and see your year at a glance with the Big A## Calendar.

When we first date someone, we can’t keep our hands off them. All we want to do is take them home and spend all night in bed together. But what about when the infatuation stage is over? Can you still keep up the chase even though you’re both in a stable and comfortable relationship? In this week’s episode of Love Life, I explain the psychology behind why so many couples get lazy and lose attraction over time, and show how you can avoid that by taking on a few key behaviors to boost the DESIRE in your relationship so that you and your partner always feel irresistibly attracted to each another. --  ►► Discover What the Most Confident Version of You Can Really Do.

If you’ve ever been ghosted, you know how brutal it feels. It’s like the floor suddenly dropped out from under you. But here’s the truth: Ghosting isn’t about you—it’s usually about the other person’s immaturity or inability to have a hard conversation.  In this episode, I’ll explain why people ghost in modern dating, and show you how to stop getting stuck on people who flake and disappear, so you focus on people who truly value you. Life is too short to waste on people who don’t show up. --  ►► Discover What the Most Confident Version of You Can Really Do. Join My FREE 30 Day Confidence Challenge.
