Listen "When Love Isn't Enough"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Practical Spirituality Podcast, Gareth and Kim challenge the popular belief that love can solve all relationship problems. They discuss how, despite genuine affection, relationships can still reach a breaking point when underlying issues—like toxicity, poor communication, or conflicting values—go unaddressed.Drawing on personal experiences, Gareth and Kim highlight how societal expectations often persuade people to endure unhealthy situations. The conversation takes a revealing turn when they examine how fear sometimes disguises itself as love, causing individuals to remain in damaging relationships out of concern for finances, loneliness, or the difficulty of starting over.The hosts underscore the vital role of self-love in fostering healthy connections, providing oneself with enough self love to maintain protective boundaries and avoid accepting toxic behavior. This perspective shifts the notion of love from self-sacrifice to a balanced exchange that respects both partners.Whether listeners are grappling with a current relationship or recovering from a past one, this episode provides compassionate advice, support and practical strategies for navigating the limits of love.Become a Community Member at https://community.garethmichael.com/ to join our community and get early access to new episodes, answers to your personal questions and so much more.Have a question to ask Gareth & Kim?
