The Loving Truth

Should I Just Give Up on Love?


Listen Later

Love is pain… and if you don’t want to feel pain, you should just give up on love, right? 

In this episode, I’ll explain where this line of thinking comes from and what happens when our expectations of love and marriage don’t match the reality.

I’ll walk you through the ways that I’ve learned to think about love and marriage relationships, answer the question, “Does the ‘perfect’ soulmate partner exist?” and tell you what to give up on - instead of love.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

0:55 - I’m never going to tell you to give up on love, BUT… 
3:33 - Does the “perfect” partner exist?
5:10 - I think about love & marriage like this
7:39 - Instead of giving up on love, give up on this… 
9:22 - The reality of loving someone well
