Are romantic relationships a need or a want? Dr. Jade Teta, one of my absolute closest friends and founder of Next Level Human, is back to debate how big of a role our romantic relationships actually play in our personal growth & sense of fulfillment. Yes, our connection with our significant other can provide the highest level of love and meaning, but is it really the source of our sense of safety, stability and sense of purpose?

Or does that need to come from somewhere else?

This is part of the ongoing relationship series Jade and I have been airing on both of our podcasts (more episodes below). As you’ll hear, this is a particular topic Jade and I have some differing opinions on. But I guarantee after hearing the various angles of this beautiful and well-supported conversation, you’ll look at the role of romantic relationships in a whole new way.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

Why relationships often don’t turn out the way people want
Why relationships still require independence
What our romantic partners can teach us about ourselves
Why relationships don’t provide safety & stability
Why purpose and fulfillment don’t come from a romantic relationship - but the ways in which a relationship can help support you in creating more of each
The main source of personal growth and the powerful impact of doing the inner work on our relationships

Take a listen and let us know how much of a role you believe romantic relationships play a role in fulfillment, purpose and growth. Would love to hear your takeaways and thoughts!
