"Crazy, Stupid Love: The Psychology of Love” by Dr. Kathrine Bejanyan

Please come and join us while we host the seventh of our speaker evenings.

"Crazy, Stupid Love: The Psychology of Love”

We’ve been taught that as long as two people really love each other, things will work out - the important part is finding love, the rest will fall into place. Over and over again movies, songs and stories remind us of the importance of finding true love for our own happily ever after. 

But is love only about finding the right person? And is the only ingredient required for a successful relationship true love? If that’s the case, then why are divorce rates ever growing? Did those marriages never truly have love or is there something more to this story than we realise? 

Long term love and success in a relationship requires more than finding the right partner. Too much of our culture focuses on the quest for love without considering its substance. The truth is, falling in love and sustaining it are two different things and confusing the two can lead to heartache. In this talk we will focus on the what love is, why we need it, and how to make it a success in your relationship over the long run.
