You will definitely need your favorite blanket to snuggle up with and watch the first season of Love is Blind. We learn a lot from the contestants while they are on their journey to find love. Here are the top 10 life lessons from Love is Blind.
It truly is what’s on the inside that matters
Throughout the show, we see relationships form that start from two different sides of a wall. Love is fostered just through conversations and getting to know the person’s personality. The contestants never see the other person, teaching us that it truly is what’s on the inside that matters.
Don’t judge the connections that others have
Connections can be formed between people that have everything in common, or between those with only a few things in common. However, the relationship begins, Love is Blind teaches us not to be judgemental of the attractions between two other people.
It is important to meet the family of the person you are planning to marry
As we see with several of the couples, meeting the family was a step in the right direction. But take Giannina for example. Her not being able to meet Damian’s family before the wedding really drove a wedge between them and created a sense of distrust.
Make sure to ask deep questions from the start of the relationship
Being in the pods allowed for deep conversations and created time to get to know the other person on an intellectual level. However, we see that some couples, such as Mark and Jessica, should have asked each other more questions before deciding to get engaged. Asking more emotional and thought-provoking questions from the start will result in a more successful relationship. So put your air pods in and make the call to ask important questions for your relationship.
Your relationship is your own
Whether you have a spark from the beginning of the conversation, or if it takes you longer to fall for the person on the other side of the wall, your relationship is your own. It is important to remember this and not to compare the progress of your relationship with anyone else’s. This will lead to a sense of distrust and lack of engagement. All relationships progress differently, so make sure to be yourself!
If you see a red flag, trust your gut
In any relationship, it is important to take note of the red flags you see. If you see something in the other person that brings you discomfort or a sense of uneasiness, make a mental note of that and talk about it with the other person.
Communication is key
Whether your relationship starts out from behind a wall or not, communication is a key component. It is impossible to have a super successful and lasting relationship without telling the other person how you are feeling and what’s on your heart. Slip into the coziest pajamas and strike up a heartfelt conversation!
It is important to be open and honest in the relationship
We learn from the show that is crucial to be open in your relationship and to be honest about your feelings. If you have a concern about something, be sure to talk about that with the other person. It is also important to communicate your goals and aspirations for the future to make sure that you are both on the same page.
Women can have the power too!
Wow! I love when Giannina shows us that women can have the power too. I was brought to tears when she asked Damian to get off of his knee so that she could get on hers to propose. This was such a powerful and tender moment.
And from the perspective of Lauren Speed, don’t share your toothbrush with other people
And lastly, don’t share your toothbrush. Lauren jokingly tells her fiance Cameron that they can share anything… except their toothbrushes. Make sure to keep your germs to yourself and use your own toothbrush!
