The notions that passion always peters out, that there’s a “seven-year itch,” and that the honeymoon is over as soon reality sets in have some truth to them.
But, Linda Carroll, author of Love Cycles: The Five Essential Stages of Lasting Love, promises that long-term, wholehearted love is still possible.
As a long-time author and veteran couples therapist, Carroll explains that love is cyclical and comprised of five distinct stages: the Merge, Doubt and Denial, Disillusionment, Decision, and Wholehearted Loving.
She joins Naturally Savvy host, Lisa Davis, to explain these five stages, as well as share her expertise and experience as a couples therapist for the last 30 years.
