Quotes from This Episode:
Dr. Kim Kimberling "Feelings are real. They matter. But they are information—not truth."
"Don't let a fading feeling become a verdict on your marriage before you've figured out what it's trying to tell you."
"The problem isn't that feelings change. The problem is believing that anything quieter than early romance means something is wrong."
"Early love is about discovery and excitement. Mature love is about depth, history, and a knowing that only time can build."
