How does your family shape the way you love?

In this episode, Katische Haberfield speaks with cousins Gary Stevenson and Chris Haberfield about growing up in a large entrepreneurial family and what they learned about marriage, devotion, resilience, and commitment across generations.

They reflect on:

• How earlier generations demonstrated love through action, not words
• Long marriages lasting 40+ years
• Devotion through illness and end-of-life care
• The impact of family business on partnership dynamics
• Adaptability, discipline, and respect in relationships
• Whether you “just know” when someone is the right partner

This conversation explores how family culture influences relationship choices, emotional expression, and long-term commitment.

For listeners reflecting on generational patterns, marriage longevity, and how love is modeled in childhood.
