Top 5 Relationship Red Flags: Not Warnings — Stop Signs That’ll Break You

Love can make us blind, but ignoring the wrong signs can cost you everything. In fact, about 60% of people admit they’ve ignored major red flags early in a relationship — only to regret it later. 😮 In this episode of our couples podcast, we dive into the top 5 relationship red flags that are not just warnings – they’re stop signs that can break your heart. We set a funny, emotional, faith-based tone as we share deeply honest stories of infidelity, toxic behavior, and relationship trauma. You’ll hear how we faced cheating, found forgiveness, and discovered emotional healing and growth through faith in our relationship journey.

No more turning a blind eye – we break down each red flag with raw honesty and a dash of humor. 🚩 Learn how a lack of accountability (and constant blame shifting) poisons trust in a relationship. We reveal how controlling or isolating behavior can make love feel like a prison instead of a partnership. We expose the damage caused by dishonesty & secretive behavior, and shine a light on emotional or verbal abuse (yep, we talk gaslighting and all those toxic behaviors). And when it comes to those inconsistent actions & broken promises that leave you feeling crazy, we’re right there with you, sharing why they hurt so much. Expect to laugh at some cringe-worthy moments and maybe shed a tear, but most importantly, you’ll learn to spot these red flags early and protect your heart. 💔🚫

This raw, unfiltered discussion also doubles as Christian marriage advice filled with practical wisdom and hope. If you’re a woman seeking cheating recovery or a couple striving to rebuild trust after betrayal, you’ll find encouragement here. We highlight how to find redemption and healing through Jesus – showing that faith and relationships go hand-in-hand when it comes to forgiveness and personal growth. Stop ignoring red flags and start moving toward the healthy, loving relationship God wants for you. 🙏❤️
