Ep. 227 - Why Love Isn’t Enough to Save a Marriage

Can two people deeply love each other and still struggle to stay connected? Absolutely. In this week's episode, Michelle challenges one of the most common beliefs about relationships: that love should be enough.

Love may bring two people together, but love alone does not teach us how to regulate our emotions, communicate when we are hurt, repair after conflict, challenge our assumptions, or create emotional safety. Michelle shares what she learned from the end of her first marriage, the struggles in her marriage to Brian, and the realization that changed the way she understands relationships: sometimes the problem is not a lack of love. It is a lack of the skills that love requires. You’ll discover why good intentions do not always create connection, how missing relationship skills can make loving couples hurt each other, and why you should never confuse a skill gap with a love gap. Because people may marry for love—but many divorce for lack of skill. And the hopeful truth is that skills can be learned.🔗 Website: www.monarchforlove.com 📘 Book: www.awakenedheartsbook.com Instagram: @Monarchforlove TikTok @monarchforlove
