Episode 2225: Dr. Kelly Flanagan explores the profound impact of loneliness on marriage, suggesting that instead of eradicating loneliness, marriage should be a space where partners reveal and share their loneliness. This vulnerable connection can foster real love and deep companionship, transforming how we relate to each other and bringing light to a lonely world. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://drkellyflanagan.com/marriage-is-for-hopelessly-lonely-people/ Quotes to ponder: "Marriage is not meant to be the place where our loneliness is taken away. It's meant to be the place where we reveal our loneliness to another." "Real love is two souls, lonely by nature and nurture, caring enough for themselves and each other to make their loneliness tangible to the other." "You may feel hopeless to fix it, but filled with the hope that comes from being joined in it." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
