Sometimes two people love each other but want different things in love (or life.)
Some people fight with or even bully the other person to try to get their way.
Some people quit or surrender to what the other wants just to stay together.
Other people try logic, reason, manipulation, guilt-trips, intellectualizing or a million other ways to try to get the other person to want what they want.
But what if there's a better way to grow your love and connection when you love each other but want different things?
In this episode, (EP63) of the Love Made Easy Podcast, that's what we're exploring-- what to do when there's love but you want different things.

We all get angry. The question is, how do you deal with it when it comes up?
When it comes to anger, are you a spewer or a shover?
How about the people in your life...are they spewers or shovers?
Meaning... Some people spew it outward toward the person or situation that made them upset and other people shove it down and try to ignore the fact that they're angry.
The point is, when anger arises in you (or someone else) it's critically important to know where anger comes from and how to deal with it when it does.
This, (How to deal with Anger) and so much more is what we're talking about in this episode (episode 57) of the Love Made Easy Podcast.

Why is it that some things you're committed to manifest quickly and easily and other things you're "committed to" seem to just fizzle out?
The reality is that some things you're committed to happen and other things don't.

Crazy isn't it?
After all, in relationships and in life...if you don't have commitment, what do you have?
This is such a fascinating topic and in this episode (episode 52) of our Love Made Easy podcast, we're diving into
