Is My Independence Keeping Me Single? #HMAY Ep. 264
Manage episode 513652414 series 2385615
PRE-ORDER FATHER YOURSELF FIRST TODAY!
What if your independence isn’t a strength—but a shield? 💔 A 28-year-old listener has never been in a romantic relationship, and she wonders if years of self-reliance have made her “too independent” to ever need (or want) marriage.
With rejection scars, a deep love of solo life, and questions about purpose, partnership, and faith, she asks: Is marriage more than companionship? Or is it simply not for everyone?
We talk:
✨ Why independence can morph from healthy to isolating if it keeps you from risking intimacy
💡 The difference between “prescribed marriage” and truly desiring a covenant partnership
🙏🏾 How encounters with God reshape our view of self-worth, sex, and relationships
🌱 What it looks like to prepare for marriage without idolizing it—or fearing it
❤️ Why learning to receive love can be harder (and holier) than giving it
Have you ever worried you’re too independent for love? Episode 264 is live—tap in and share your story in the comments!
