Do Opposites Really Attract? Here’s What Matters Most in Love

When it comes to love, we’ve all heard the saying: opposites attract. But is that really the case? In this blog, I unpack this age-old debate—and trust me, the answer isn’t as simple as you might think.

Let’s get one thing clear: while differences can keep things exciting, the key to a lasting relationship is aligning on core values. Your life vision, beliefs, and goals act as the foundation for love. Without it, even the most magnetic attraction won’t stand the test of time.

But here’s the twist: embracing your partner’s unique traits can actually help you grow. In my own marriage, Will and I are different in so many ways, but we’ve learned to appreciate and respect those differences. They make us stronger together.

So, how can you make this work in your love life?

• Stay Curious: Instead of judging a potential partner’s quirks or interests, ask yourself, “What can I learn from this?”
• Be Intentional: Especially on dating apps! Swipe with purpose and focus on connections that align with your values.
• Don’t Settle: Crazy love exists—you just have to be open-minded enough to find it.

Opposites can attract, but it’s shared values and mutual respect that make love thrive. Ready to embrace the unexpected? Listen to my podcast for more love and relationship insights!
