What if the secret to romantic love isn’t about finding the “right” person, but about seeing yourself more clearly?
Hi, I’m Dr. Margaret Cochran, and in this episode of The Relationship Doctor, I’m diving into something we don’t talk about enough: how much our relationships reflect who we are inside. It’s easy to think love is about shared hobbies or background, but the real magic happens when we understand ourselves, and recognize that in our partners.
In just a few minutes, I’ll walk you through why chemistry truly matters, why the old “opposites attract” idea doesn’t always hold up, and why self-awareness is the foundation for deep, lasting connection.
If you’ve ever wondered why love sometimes feels just out of reach, or how to create a more meaningful bond, this one’s for you. Let’s take a closer look at how loving yourself might just be the first step to finding the love you’ve been looking for.
