Are you struggling to develop a meaningful relationship? Do you always find yourself in “situationships?”  If you want to develop a meaningful relationship - you should avoid dopamine dating (consistently swiping right). According to this week’s Habits & Hustle guest, relationship expert Matthew Hussey, slowing down and allowing yourself to get to know someone is key for committing and finding compatibility.  Listen in as we discuss how to find a good partner, rather than just a physical or mental connection. Matthew gives four levels of importance in relationships, and all four are needed for a love life. Loneliness has become one of the biggest epidemics of our time, so it’s crucial that we all work to develop more meaningful relationships.  We also discuss being the author of your own life and not letting someone else dictate your happiness. Self love should be a verb and it’s important to know your worth so that you’re not grieving over a shallow relationship loss.  Matthew Hussey is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and coach specializing in confidence and relational intelligence. He writes a weekly newsletter and is the host of the podcast Love Life With Matthew Hus­sey. Matthew provides monthly coaching to the members of his private community at LoveLifeClub.com. Over the past fifteen years, his proven approach has inspired millions through authentic, insightful, and practical advice that not only enables them to find love but also feel confident and in control of their own happiness.
