Love doesn't require certainty before you commit. The speaker argues that real love means taking a leap of faith and investing in someone despite the risks, and that bravery in relationships comes from choosing to show up even when you can't guarantee the outcome.
Chapters
If we want to end up with a truly great relationship, an amazing love in our lives, we can't sit around hoping to find ultimate certainty on day one. The truth is, real certainty can only be found on the other side of investing in somebody. Now, that requires a leap of faith. It requires some bravery, because we don't know for sure that investing in somebody is going to pay off. But if we recognize that we are strong enough and robust enough to handle it, if we make a bet and we're wrong, and we realize that everything good in life comes as a result of us pouring our love into something that there is no other way, then we'll do it anyway.
