The Love IDEAS Summit provides real, practical, useful relationship advice that will entertain as it inspires to help you weather these difficult times of stress and isolation.

We asked our presenters for their thoughts on relationships during Covid and national turmoil. This is what they said:

“When things are shaky or falling apart in some ways it’s an opportune time to look at yourself and open up to whatever you need to do to survive and thrive through a stressful time.”
Gary Chapman PhD#1 Internationally Bestselling Author of The 5 Love Languages

“And I know the days that I’m happiest, the relationships that are really authentic and genuine is when I come to the place of love.”
Tommy Spaulding MBA – #1 USA Today Bestselling Author of It’s Not Just Who You Know

“Talking, communicating in the midst of our stress can make it a time of growth. And that’s what all of us want.”
Bill & Pam Farrel – Bestselling authors of Men are Like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti

“The deal is, it’s not about you, you don’t wake up so you can have a bigger house or a bigger office or a nicer car you wake up so you can do bigger better things for those around you.”
John O’Leary – International Bestselling author of On Fire and In Awe

WHY LOVE IDEAS SUMMIT

Why Relationship Support is Critically Needed Now

At IDA we have been sharing for years how illness, pain and disability can have a negative impact on not only the person who lives daily with them, yet it dramatically impacts the caregiver as well. Oftentimes the caregiver is a spouse or partner. In this time of Covid-19, the rest of the world’s population is now experiencing isolation, loneliness and even illness. We want to provide hope and practical advice regarding relationships during the current coronavirus impact and in the months and years to come. 

About the Invisible Disabilities Association

IDA is about believing. We believe you! The frequently invisible nature of illness and pain may lead to disbelief about that illness or pain by those surrounding the person who lives daily with invisible disabilities. This disbelief can lead to misunderstandings, rejection by friends, family and health care providers. It may also lead to accusations of laziness or faking an illness. We are passionate about providing awareness that invisible illness, pain and disabilities are very real! Our mission is to encourage, educate and connect people and organizations touched by illness, pain and disability around the globe. Envision with us, a world where people living with illness, pain and disability will be Invisible No More®.
