Debra Maldonado and Dr. Rob explore the profound and transformative power of love. They discuss the intricate layers of love, examining its psychological, biological, and spiritual dimensions. Through engaging discussions, they reveal how love is not just an emotion but a complex force that influences our relationships and personal growth.
Key Takeaways:
- Love as a Multifaceted Force: Love is more than an emotion; it includes behavioral patterns, communication, and spiritual elements. Understanding love's complexity can enhance personal and relational growth.
- Neuroscience of Love: Neurotransmitters like dopamine and oxytocin play crucial roles in attraction and bonding. These chemical processes help form deep connections with others.
- Attachment and Psychological Patterns: Early relationships shape our attachment styles and influence current romantic bonds. Recognizing and addressing unconscious patterns can lead to healthier relationships.
- Spiritual Dimension of Love: Love transcends the physical and psychological, connecting us to a higher spiritual purpose. Embracing spiritual love fosters a deeper connection with oneself and others.
- Personal Growth and Intimacy: Self-awareness and personal growth are essential for meaningful and lasting relationships. Overcoming fears of intimacy can lead to more fulfilling connections.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
