The Six Ancient Loves That Rebuild Any Marriage From the Ground Up
Manage episode 518897153 series 3573052
Ever feel like you're living with a roommate instead of a romantic partner? You love each other, but that magnetic pull has faded into something that feels more like a business partnership than a marriage. The spark didn't die dramatically—it just quietly slipped away while you were busy paying bills and raising kids.
The Problem with One-Dimensional Love
In English, we flatten everything into one word: love. I love my wife, I love my truck, I love tacos. But how can you love tacos the way you love your wife? Ancient languages understood something we've forgotten—there are actually six distinct types of love that build an unshakable marriage.
When one goes missing, your relationship feels it. When all six are present, your marriage becomes a force that heals, inspires, and endures.
The Six Loves That Transform Marriage
Discover the Hebrew framework that reveals why some marriages thrive while others merely survive:
- • Hesed - Unwavering commitment
- • Dabaq - Resilient love
- • Luo - Forgiving love
- • Yada - Intimate connection
- • Agape - Selfless service
- • Euangelion - Missional love
Why Your Brain Craves This Structure
Learn the neuroscience behind each type of love:
- • How consistent presence builds safety in your partner's nervous system
- • Why acts of service literally activate your brain's reward center
- • The chemical process that happens when you choose forgiveness over resentment
- • How vulnerability releases oxytocin and creates unbreakable bonds
The 30-Day Challenge That Changes Everything
Are you ready to stop being roommates and start being partners in purpose?
Your marriage doesn't need more romance. It needs rhythm. It doesn't need a spark—it needs structure. And the truth is, love was never meant to be one-dimensional.
Tune in to discover why love isn't a feeling—it's a framework. Build it right, and you'll carry it for a lifetime.
