145. Stop giving love with the intent to change. Plus what is the difference between falling in love and choosing love? (male perspective)(Guest Bryan Thomas)

Published: April 27, 2023, 10:02 a.m.

In this episode of the podcast hosted by (Me) Reka Robinson with guest (life coach) Bryan Thomas, Bryan talks about his divorce and the lessons he learned from it. He explains why he was with her for a few years but only married for months and that when love is given with the intent to change instead of cover, problems arise. We discuss the concept "Love is meant to cover and not change, according to God." (1 Peter 4:8)

\n

We also discuss the concept of loving blindly and how it can lead to problems. Bryan stresses the importance of finding someone who matches our values and needs. He also discusses his decision to remain single until he finds someone who matches his discipline. Bryan believes that we should stop giving potential partners the benefit of the doubt. They also talk about what marriage taught Bryan about women and himself. Finally, they delve into the difference between falling in love and choosing love.

  • 16:47: "When love is given with the intent to change and not the intent to cover. That is where you will run into a problem. God never says that \u2018love changes\u2019 but he says \u2018love covers." - Bryan

  • 26:53: becoming the person that I\u2019m called to become that is my responsibility, that is not the responsibility of the person I\u2019m with. The thing that I\u2019m asking you, is that when I make mistakes, will you hold my hand and say \u201cI got you\u201d as I\u2019m elevating or are you going to push me to the side because maybe what you signed up for didn\u2019t included the capacity to be able to handle the downside to the evolution that I\u2019m bringing.
