The faith is to mature you in love, not faith as an end run in its own...we have kept people together who feel unloved, but then we guilt them into staying married...this all comes back to the source of feeling loved.
What if everything you've been taught about love is missing a crucial piece? In this episode of 'RelateWell', Dr. Rick Marks and Angelia Savage turn the spotlight on the often-overlooked emotional side of love. They dive into the age-old debate: Is love merely a decision or a deep-seated emotion? Spoiler alert: They believe it's both, but with a twist that might surprise you. Dr.
Rick and Angelia tackle common misconceptions perpetuated by religious teachings that love is just an action or a choice. They argue that while actions are important, the genuine feelings of love are what truly sustain relationships. Imagine trying to act lovingly towards someone you don't actually feel love for—sounds exhausting, right? The episode goes beyond romantic relationships, touching on how feeling loved impacts parenting and even leadership roles.
They discuss how children who feel genuinely loved are more likely to grow into emotionally healthy adults. And it’s not just about kids; Dr. Rick shares how emotionally healthy leadership can transform workplaces too. One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is when they talk about how misconceptions about love can trap people in unhealthy relationships. By understanding love as an emotion, listeners can gain the tools to foster healthier, more fulfilling connections in all areas of life.
Whether you're struggling in your marriage, trying to be a better parent, or just looking to understand love on a deeper level, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in and get ready to rethink what you know about love.
