All you need to do is meet the right person, fall in love, and then everything magically works out...right? Sadly this isn't a romcom and we're going to unpack it all as we reair one of our favorite episodes with best-selling author Mark Manson about why love is not enough to make relationships work. We discuss the reasons we settle for less than situations, why we stay in certain dynamics like the chaser-runner, and how we can have it all – once we start using our head along with our heart.
