SPRING CLEANING: When Self-Sabotage Holds Your Relationship Back | Love By Faith with Kyle & Selina Almodovar #070
Manage episode 477172558 series 3526493
In this episode, Kyle and Selina discuss when self-sabotage holds your relationship back and how to press into new blessings and higher milestones courageously.
Kyle and Selina dive deep into the fears and insecurities that prevent couples from taking their relationships to the next level, exploring how self-sabotage manifests differently for men and women.
• Fear of rejection often leads to overthinking and second-guessing good relationships
• Women tend to project too far into the future, creating anxiety about making the "right" choice
• Men typically resist change when comfortable, avoiding vulnerability and deeper connection
• Self-sabotage in marriage appears as communication breakdowns, withholding vulnerability
• Creating a safe space for honest communication requires "30 seconds of insane courage."
• Recognizing that God's strength works through our weakness helps overcome relationship fears
• Vulnerability, though frightening, is the pathway to deeper intimacy and relationship growth
• Naming your feelings and scheduling specific times for difficult conversations prevents avoidance
Don't let fear hold you back from experiencing the relationship God intended for you. Take that step of vulnerability today, and watch how your relationship transforms.
