What if Valentine’s Day wasn’t about cards, flowers, or one perfect night, but about learning how to love in a way that actually lasts?

In this Valentine’s Day special, Dave and Poppy explore The Secret to Love That Lasts by Gary Chapman and unpack what separates short-lived romance from deep, enduring connection.

They dive into Chapman’s insights on intentional love, emotional safety, and the everyday habits that keep relationships strong long after the excitement fades.

The discussion focuses on communication, commitment, and why understanding how your partner experiences love is more important than grand gestures once a year.

Dave and Poppy also reflect on real-life relationship challenges, from drifting apart to unspoken expectations, sharing practical ways couples can reconnect, rebuild trust, and grow together over time.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, this episode offers a thoughtful reminder that lasting love isn’t found in a moment, but built through consistent care, understanding, and choice.
