Ever feel like you're living with a roommate instead of a romantic partner? You love each other, but that magnetic pull has faded into something that feels more like a business partnership than a marriage. The spark didn't die dramatically—it just quietly slipped away while you were busy paying bills and raising kids.
The Problem with One-Dimensional Love
In English, we flatten everything into one word: love. I love my wife, I love my truck, I love tacos. But how can you love tacos the way you love your wife? Ancient languages understood something we've forgotten—there are actually six distinct types of love that build an unshakable marriage.
When one goes missing, your relationship feels it. When all six are present, your marriage becomes a force that heals, inspires, and endures.
The Six Loves That Transform Marriage
Discover the Hebrew framework that reveals why some marriages thrive while others merely survive:
- • Hesed - Unwavering commitment
- • Dabaq - Resilient love
- • Luo - Forgiving love
- • Yada - Intimate connection
- • Agape - Selfless service
- • Euangelion - Missional love
Why Your Brain Craves This Structure
Learn the neuroscience behind each type of love:
- • How consistent presence builds safety in your partner's nervous system
- • Why acts of service literally activate your brain's reward center
- • The chemical process that happens when you choose forgiveness over resentment
- • How vulnerability releases oxytocin and creates unbreakable bonds
The 30-Day Challenge That Changes Everything
Are you ready to stop being roommates and start being partners in purpose?
Your marriage doesn't need more romance. It needs rhythm. It doesn't need a spark—it needs structure. And the truth is, love was never meant to be one-dimensional.
Tune in to discover why love isn't a feeling—it's a framework. Build it right, and you'll carry it for a lifetime.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
