About this episode

Michael C. Murray discusses how to determine what to look for in a life partner beyond just attraction and chemistry.

Most people say they want love, but very few people have actually decided what they are looking for in a life partner.In this episode, Michael C. Murray breaks down one of the most important questions in modern dating: how do you know whether someone is actually worth building a life with?This conversation is not about finding a perfect person. It is about learning how to think clearly before you attach your future to someone. Michael explores three areas that matter when choosing a life partner: substance, compatibility, and vision.Because attraction is not enough. Chemistry is not enough. Being liked is not enough. And being chosen by someone does not automatically mean they are right for the life you are trying to build.Before you ask whether someone is the one, ask yourself whether you even know what you are really looking for.
