Prince Vince talks about his mother and then even motherhood in general. Mothers have a way of truly providing love and care for their children in such an invaluable and priceless way. Part of this motherly instinct stems from the notion that she places the hearts and lives of her children before her own wants and needs, but understands that her role is to guide them to not have her be the most important thing in their own lives. 

"A good mother loves fiercely but ultimately brings up her children to thrive without her. They must be the most important thin in her life, but if she is the most important thing in theirs, she has failed" -Erin Kelly

Prince Vince reiterates some points from a conversation from a road-trip a few weeks ago with his sister Anna and her friend JJ. 

When love falters, two things occur which are often problematic. Firstly, one individual appears to have lost a sense of who they were before the relationship started, placing too much identity emphasis on the coupled relationship. Secondly, just as in a court room, lovers will defend their relationships, no matter how detrimental they look from the outside. 

Moral of the story, focus on each of three components of the relationship -- the relationship, the other, and yourself -- equally AND then just let love tell the tale. 

Sam Hunt's Kinfolks expresses the concept that "having a type takes two". This week, Prince Vince tackles this concept in light of conversations with his father and uncle about what do we see attractive in another person and how do relationships blossom and grow. Simply put, when we focus on the internal heart and soul of a person, we build a magnetic draw to that individual and deepen the relationship -- look for the beauty within.
