Send us a textWhat if love isn't just a mysterious emotion but something that follows predictable patterns? Relationship theorist Zoey Charif joins us to reveal how her groundbreaking research can actually predict relationship success with mathematical precision.After experiencing heartbreak during her criminology studies, Charif spent 18 years developing a revolutionary formula that measures relationship compatibility. She explains how we can calculate our "self-score" by rating ourselves on our top five values—things like family, purpose, and dependability. This self-evaluation creates a numerical representation of our self-respect and self-love, forming the foundation for healthy partnerships.The magic happens in the numbers. Through extensive surveys of 300 couples, Charif discovered that successful relationships consistently show a fascinating pattern: partners view each other approximately 4% higher than they view themselves. This slight elevation creates a sustainable dynamic of mutual admiration and respect that allows relationships to thrive. Couples who demonstrate this pattern stay together, while those with misalignments eventually separate.Charif also breaks down relationship personality types, distinguishing between "practical" individuals who prioritize values and "emotional" types who emphasize feelings and attraction. She warns against extreme emotional tendencies that romanticize obsession and fantasy—patterns often reinforced by Disney movies and pop culture narratives about "love at first sight."Whether you're struggling to understand why past relationships failed or seeking to strengthen your current partnership, Charif's formula provides a revolutionary framework for relationship success. Her book "Love Can In Fact Be Calculated" offers a complete guide to applying these principles in your own life.

Seeking God's Will: The Foundation of Lasting Relationships The readings explore the themes of friendship, commitment, and obedience to God's will. The Homily begins with a discussion on the nature of true friendship, emphasizing that genuine friendship requires discernment, testing, and trust. The Homily contrasts shallow acquaintanceship with deep, enduring relationships, both among people and in one's relationship with God. The idea that God also tests His friends to reveal the strength or weakness of their commitment is a central theme. Seeking God's Will The Homily then transitions into the Gospel teaching on marriage, highlighting that many people approach relationships with a mindset of personal convenience rather than seeking God's will. The Pharisees' attempt to test Jesus regarding divorce reflects humanity's tendency to challenge God instead of submitting to divine wisdom. Jesus responds by redirecting the conversation from legal permissions to the fundamental question: What is the will of God? The key message is that true friendship—with both people and God—requires obedience, self-transformation, and faithfulness, even in times of difficulty. By seeking God's will first, rather than prioritizing personal desires, one can cultivate meaningful relationships and a fulfilling life. How, again, do we determine God's Will?

Mark Santoyo knows that real estate isn't just about houses—it's about people. Long before he became a top producer, he understood one fundamental truth: when you take care of people, they take care of you. That mindset has carried him through a thriving career, proving that success isn't about flashy sales tactics but about genuine connections and long-term trust.There's a reason why some realtors last for decades while others fade out quickly. Mark has seen it firsthand. “When you love sales, you just know it,” he says. “But it's not rocket science. Just treat people well. Treat them like family.” It's a simple philosophy, but one that too many professionals overlook. In an industry that can feel transactional, Mark has built a business by making his clients feel like they're more than just another deal.For Mark, honesty is everything. He doesn't sugarcoat the realities of buying or selling a home. He tells his clients the truth—even when it's not what they want to hear. “People appreciate honesty,” he explains. “They don't want the runaround. They want to know that you've been there too.” Real estate isn't always easy, and he makes sure his clients feel prepared for the process.Success in real estate isn't just about closing deals. It's about creating lifelong relationships. Mark doesn't just help someone buy a home and move on—he stays connected. His clients come back, refer their friends, and trust him with their biggest financial decisions. That kind of loyalty doesn't happen by accident. It happens because people know they can count on him, year after year.A major shift in Mark's career happened when he started treating his business like a long-term investment instead of chasing quick wins. He realized that consistency was the secret weapon of top producers. It's not about doing something great once—it's about doing it every single day, whether or not there's an immediate payoff.That's why Mark believes so strongly in the power of personal branding. “People need to see you. They need to know what you stand for.” He built his reputation not just through his results but through his presence—online and offline. By showing up consistently, he became the go-to person in his market.Many agents make the mistake of overcomplicating things, but Mark keeps it simple. “Just be real,” he says. “Listen to people. Understand what they need. Solve their problems.” It's a reminder that while the industry evolves, the core of real estate will always be about trust, relationships, and delivering results.For anyone looking to build a career in real estate—or any industry—Mark's advice is clear: “Stick with it. Don't give up just because things don't happen overnight. The people who succeed are the ones who show up every day and put in the work.”Whether you're a new agent or a seasoned professional, there's one takeaway that stands out: Treat people like family, and you'll never have to chase business. It will always come back to you.
