About this episode
Jeanine Amapola discusses the key elements necessary for a successful relationship and the pitfalls of modern love influenced by culture.
Relationships are struggling more than ever, and I honestly believe a lot of what culture tells us about love and marriage is leading us in the wrong direction. In this episode, I'm sharing some of the biggest reasons I think relationships fail today—from comparing ourselves to social media, to expecting marriage to fulfill us, to letting outside voices influence our relationships more than God's Word. I also talk about what the Bible says about marriage, why prayer and community matter so much, how comparison steals joy, and practical ways to build a marriage that actually lasts. Whether you're single, dating, engaged, or married, my hope is that this conversation encourages you to pursue God's design for relationships over the world's. ‟ď¸Check out my collab with Ponyflo!
