Mars and Venus Love Languages Preview Notes for Stella Speaks March 2023

   You're listening to Stella Speaks, a podcast for witches and bitches about what I call bitchcraft. We throw feminism, witchcraft, social justice, and profanity into the cauldron. I hope you stay for a spell. I invite you to listen to the trailer episode for this season for an introduction to me, this season, and some boundaries and expectations. It is titled "Listen First: In the Circle with Mars and Venus" and was posted March 22, 2023.

Today's episode is an episode in our Venus and Mars series in which I interview my partner Mike about our love languages and values.

This podcast is recorded on occupied ancestral lands of the Erie, Kaskaskia, and Mississauga people here in northeast Ohio. Ohio is an Iroquoian word that the Seneca used for the Ohio River--ohiyo-- which means "it is beautiful." I live near Lake Erie, which was named for the Erie people who were also referred to as "Cat Nation." I invite you to come into relationship with the land you occupy and to research the history and current interests of the people indigenous to that land. The website https://native-land.ca/ is a good place to start that investigation.

Mike, welcome to the podcast! What do you know about the 5 Love Languages?

What do you remember about your five love languages after taking the quiz?

Maybe the guy who wrote the book is unqualified and a bigot!

Is this still a useful framework to use when discussing couple differences?

Let's compare our values using this other quiz!
