-Join us as relationship coach Derrick Clark, author of "The 30 Love Laws," shares insights on common misunderstandings men and women face when dating each other. Could a deeper understanding of the opposite s*x improve our dating experiences? Despite the abundance of online dating advice, why does it feel like the dating landscape hasn’t improved? We’ll explore what truly matters in a partner, how to positively connect with the opposite s*x, and whether the dating process itself conflicts with the goal of marriage for some. Mental Dialogue isn’t shying away from the questions America needs to discuss. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK

Black Socrates Speaks...Slip Ups Versus ckuF Ups

In life sometimes you will kcuf up, but you must learn to kcuf up and move on. The problem is too many of us stay dekcuf up too long. Then we come to know ourselves as a kcuf up, but had we moved on it would have just been a slip up. So, in the future when you slip up, own it, don’t hide it, and get the kcuf up out of there.

-Mental Activist, Montoya aka Black Socrates “All I Ask Is That You Think”

What a relationship requires

Every relationship will get "boring" after you’ve been together for years.

This is the reality that often goes unspoken. Relationships, no matter how passionate they start, eventually settle into routine. The initial thrill, the butterflies, the constant excitement—they all fade as life takes its course. But that doesn’t mean the relationship is failing; it means it’s evolving. A relationship isn’t supposed to stay in that honeymoon phase forever. It’s meant to grow deeper, richer, more profound. And yes, sometimes it gets mundane, but that’s where the real love begins—when you can find comfort and beauty in the ordinary moments together.

Love isn’t just a feeling. It’s a commitment to love every day, physically and emotionally.

We’re often sold this idea that love is purely a feeling—this constant state of euphoria and passion. But in truth, feelings come and go. There will be days when love feels effortless, but there will also be days when it feels like work. That’s because real love isn’t just about how you feel in a moment; it’s about the choice you make every single day to stay committed. To show up. To be present. It’s about continuing to love, even when life throws challenges your way, even when your partner isn’t at their best, and even when it’s hard. Love is action—it’s what you do, not just what you feel.

It’s difficult. It’s not always laughs, smiles, and fun.

This is something we all need to remind ourselves of. Relationships aren’t always easy. They require effort, patience, and understanding. There will be days when it feels like a struggle—days when communication breaks down, when life’s pressures take a toll, or when you and your partner are simply out of sync. But that’s normal. Relationships are not supposed to be perfect all the time. They are about growth, both individually and together. The key is to remember that the hard times are just as much a part of the journey as the good times. They don’t mean the relationship is broken—they mean it’s real.

People tend to quit when it stops being fun, and they go look for someone else because "the spark is gone."

In today’s world, we are conditioned to chase the next thrill, the next rush of excitement. So, when the initial spark fades in a relationship, many people think it’s a sign to move on. But that spark? It’s fleeting. It’s the novelty of something new, not the foundation of lasting love. Real love is about what happens after the spark fades—when you no longer rely on infatuation but on the deeper connection you’ve built over time. The idea that love should always feel exciting and new is a myth. True love isn’t about constantly chasing sparks; it’s about building a fire that can withstand the storms.

No, that’s not how it works.

Love is not disposable. You don’t abandon it when it gets tough, when the excitement wears off, or when life gets hard. Real love is about weathering the storms together, not running at the first sign of difficulty. It’s about digging in, standing firm, and choosing to stay, even when it would be easier to walk away. Relationships take work—honest, sometimes messy work—but that’s where the beauty lies. When you fight for your love, when you work through the challenges, you come out the other side stronger, more connected, and more in tune with each other.

You want somebody to never give up on you and love unconditionally? Then do the same.

It’s easy to expect unconditional love from others, but we must be willing to offer it in return. Love is a two-way street. If you want someone to be there for you in your worst moments, to stand by you when you’re not at your best, then you must be willing to do the same. Love isn’t about receiving—it’s about giving, even when it’s hard. It’s about being the kind of partner you hope to have, offering grace, patience, and understanding, even when it feels undeserved. True love doesn’t waver based on convenience. It’s steadfast, even in the hardest moments.

Be the change.

If you want a love that lasts, you have to be willing to be the change you wish to see. Love isn’t passive; it’s active. It’s about making the choice to love, even when it’s difficult. It’s about showing up for your partner, even when it’s the last thing you feel like doing. By being the change—by choosing love in the face of adversity—you set the tone for your relationship. You become the foundation on which real, lasting love is built.

Love someone when you don’t want to. When they aren’t the easiest to deal with. When they are hard to love.

This is the true test of love. It’s easy to love when everything is going well, but real love shows up in the tough times. It’s about staying patient when your partner is stressed, offering understanding when they are irritable, and being there when they’re at their lowest. It’s about loving them not just for their best qualities, but through their flaws and imperfections. This kind of love requires resilience, empathy, and selflessness. But when you love someone in their hardest moments, you create a bond that’s unshakable, a love that endures the test of time.

Real love doesn’t fade when the spark is gone. It deepens through commitment, grows through patience, and lasts through every season of life.
