Let’s Have a Learning Community About Love

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I’m starting an online learning community about love. Would you like to join? All it takes is an interest in how love works between partners, a desire to behave more lovingly yourself and a willingness to add your voice.

“Adding your voice” means any or all of the following:

  • Adding your comments to the posts here
  • Emailing me with questions and subjects on which you would like me to blog
  • Participating in the podcast that I share weekly with my wife — i.e., contribute to the conversation as a call-in or leave your messages in the chatroom
  • And/or adding your voice to the Twitter and or/Facebook conversations.

Paying attention to love and striving to do better at loving would seem to be a natural for anyone who is married or in a serious relationship and wants the relationship to succeed. It is really hard for a relationship without love to succeed.

I’m convinced that people participating in a learning community can learn better and contribute to a good learning experience for others better than simply listening to the so-called expert without participating. Each of us has something useful to contribute — thoughts, ideas, convictions, questions, even some wisdom — because we have all loved someone and all had our own unique experience doing so.

We need to hear from you — whether or not you are responding to this post soon after it was written or happened on it months later. Many of my posts will be meant for doing, not just reading. Like the two previous to this post on the feelings that we associate with loving someone — try the exercise, then share your experience. We will all benefit — including you — when you do.
