In Episode 7, I suggest a definition of romantic love. We walk through the definition of romantic love, paying specific attention to what is it that is most unique about romantic love-- a hint: it is not sexual attraction, but something else. We then revisit Peter and Cheryl who were having problems six months into their new romance. The definition of romantic love sheds some light on what they are going through. Peter and Cheryl are making the transition from falling in love to being in love, though they may not yet understand what that is.
In episode 8, we will look at what is the difference between falling in love and being in love and how to make that transition.
