on a saturday morning with an important question on this valentine's day weekend. what is love? >> it is an age old question that some people don't know the answer to. >> here's looking at you, kid. >> you complete me. >> it's been chronickrochronicl for decades. those scenes. those lines. that love. >> when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. >> it starts with age and culture. what is it? ask 100 people and you get 100 different answers. >> love is awesome. >> love is being together. >> giving a girl a flower. >> love is your first grand child. yes. >> love is when someone like reaches for your food and you don't have the sudden urge to slap their hand way. >> you know you are in love when you would rather hang out with your girlfriend than your best friends. >> being in love is loving the craziness that every day brings. >> love is being patient. >> being in love means remember the rest of your life. look at your wife every day and say it's my fault. >> we tell each other every day. >> we wake up in the morning with a hug and kiss. >> and he sings in the shower. >> well, that's to make sure you're awake. >> i love him. >> robi ludwig, good morning. >> good morning. >> i know folks come to you all the time. the opinions are going to vary. in your opinion, what is love? how do you know you're in love? >> well, i think when you are falling in love when you are in love, you are under the influence of a neuro chemical cocktail. it packs a woallop. you are seeing your partner through rose-tinted glasses. what everyone sees as annoying, you find as adorable. >> the insurantensity is turned. you want to be around this person all the time. you think everybody else wants them as well. there is a physical attraction and intellectual attraction and hopefully compatibility as well. >> what is the difference between being in love and loving someone? >> well, i think it is more intense. so when you love somebody, you don't mind sharing them. you might even match them up with somebody else. when you are in love with somebody, you don't want them with anybody but you. you plan your life around them. >> when you are falling in love, you are on that roller coaster. it's up, it's down. it's insecure. thank god we don't live like that all the time. >> it changes. it is different when you are young and meet someone for the first time. all of a sudden you have children. children seem to change love in a good way. >> right. >> you know, in the end, i think loving somebody is having that calm secure sense of home base. there aren't necessarily so many highs or lows. there's a sense of expansion beyond the two of you into your friends and family. >> i think it's more normal. it is loving who you are when you are around that person and loving who you can be. it is almost like you help each other to become the person you are meant to be in the best-case scenario. >> that is a good way to look at it. what is the pressure for valentine's day and people not in a relationship? for couples out there who maybe one half of the couple feels more committed than the other. they feel they don't have the traditional commitment symbol whatever it may be. when do you know it is time to maybe cut and run? >> cut and run somewhere else. >> lots of different non traditional relationships today. more people are cohabitating more than getting married. if you are to wake up a year from now and your relationship and your life was unfolding the way you wanted it to you are in the relationship you want to be in. what would the day look like? visualize that and go for that. >> you need to respect your relationship goals. you have to be direct and say i want marriage and i want kids. put it out there. if someone can't give that to you, cut your losses. >> how do you sustain love? how do you make sure it is the love that lasts a lifetime? >> you have to first of all look at a person's character and see if you are looking at life in the same direction. do you have the same goals? do you want the same things out of life and are you willing to help each other to get it? love exists within reality. if that exists with what you want and if it does and match up, that can be damaging. >> you know, studies show that couples who succeed and fails, the couples that succeed have more positive-to-negative interactions even when they are fighting. >> support each other. nurture and love. >> thank you so much. robi and ian, thank you. happy valentine's day. up next, speaking of love, how about a delicious breakfast to help you get in the mood this valentine's day weekend. i do love to eat. >> we love to eat a lot on this show. >> but first this is

said that. in the mood. we will get in the mood with mimosas. >> what are our options? >> pomegranite. you don't see a lot of leachy. we have mango. we take this to the chocolate waffles with cheesecake mousse. can you tell which minimum mimosas? we have chocolate chips and eggs and berries and cocoa powder. we will make the chocolate waffles. we have eggs and buttermilk and adding oil. >> you do all the wet ingredients together. >> yes. i'll start on the dry. you keep them separate. go ahead and whisk that together. we have flour and cocoa powder and brown sugar and baking powder and salt. right where you are when you have it mixed -- we have it separate because you want the ingredients mixed well. we push this together. then now you really have to go to work as you can tell. yes. then you will mix that up until it is sort of batter-like. >> mixed. >> yeah. i can do that. what you will do is fold in some chocolate chips. if you don't want that, you can use white chocolate. you can swap out peanut butter. you can eat them like that like it is a buffet. >> you don't want to serve anybody that. >> i like the baby m&ms. >> peanut butter. >> you are going crazy and i love it. we have egg whites that we made nice and fluffy and airy because we want the waffles to be light and fluffy. >> then we fold. >> you don't want to go crazy because you want to maintain the fluffiness for the waffles. >> i never know when i'm supposed to stop folding. >> when it stops losing the white color. don't go crazy. you could see here that we are smoking hot ready to go. we will make the chocolate waffles. >> how do you like it? >> it is good. >> i would like another one. >> i have one for you. this one is about four minutes. depends on the size of the waffle iron. then we have the
