Can our hearts truly be split between two loves, or is it a battle against our own desires? This episode wades into the deep waters of romantic love, tackling the question of whether it's feasible to harbor feelings for multiple partners simultaneously. We dissect the Greek philosophies of love, reflect on the ethical and moral implications, and consider the Christian stance on commitment and covenant. These discussions bring to light the intricate dance between love, emotion, and the choices we make in our relationships. We also address the delicate matter of sharing sexual history and managing mental health within new relationships, offering insights on when and how to broach these sensitive topics. Accountability is the cornerstone of any lasting relationship, and in this episode, we don't shy away from the hard truths. We discuss the challenges of upholding fidelity, the myths surrounding the concept of 'the one,' and the necessity for healing and personal growth. With references to biblical counseling and the power of community support, we explore how confronting past traumas and seeking accountability is crucial to fostering a healthy, monogamous marriage. Join us as we unravel the complexities of love, and discover the building blocks for nurturing a committed, fulfilling partnership. -- Have a question about relationships?
