What do we fear? What will we protect together? 31:44 Love Isn’t Enough: Relational Ethics From impulse to integrity: do the right thing when it’s hardest; create win-wins instead of win-lose. 34:30 “We’re Only as Safe as Our Agreements” Entitlement vs. consent; why explicit, enforceable deals (not moods) create security. 37:04 Do the Hard Work Now, Feel Safe Later The survival logic of collaboration: show up when you don’t feel like it so the system stays secure. 38:15 Pro-Self and Pro-Social at the Same Time Tightrope partners: protect your interests while treating your partner as an ally, never an adversary. 41:13 Stress, Health, and the Cost of Disconnection Allostatic load, entropy, and why a “jungle at home” drains the very resources you need to thrive. 42:18 The Couple Bubble in Practice From predators to pack: “You’ve got my back, I’ve got yours,” everywhere we go. 43:02 The Payoff: Sublime Teamwork The felt sense of safety, permission to grow, and how partners help each other reach the bar they set. 45:06 Closing + Updated Wired for Love (2nd Ed.) Stan on inclusive updates, added chapters, and keeping the model current with how people actually love today.
