Podcasts about feel loved

Knowing someone loves you is one thing. Actually feeling that love in your body and daily life is another—and that's where many relationships get stuck. In this episode, we move from problem to solution, exploring five research-backed mindsets that help love land and deepen real connection. I am joined once again by Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside and author of the best-selling books The How of Happiness and The Myths of Happiness. Her latest book, co-authored with Dr. Harry Reis, is titled How To Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More Of What Matters Most. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: How does the “Relationship Sea-Saw” explain the give-and-take of feeling loved? What does healthy self-disclosure actually look like in a relationship? How can couples sustain curiosity in long-term partnerships? How can we approach our relationships with more compassion and less scorekeeping? How can we learn to become better listeners and stop having repetitive conflicts?

You can be deeply loved—and still not feel it. In this episode, we’re exploring the gap between being loved and feeling loved, the myths that keep love from landing, and how modern life can amplify disconnection. If you've ever felt unseen, insecure, or lonely inside an otherwise good relationship, this conversation will help you understand why, and what you can do about it. My guest is Dr. Sonja Lyubomirsky, a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Riverside and author of the best-selling books The How of Happiness and The Myths of Happiness. Her latest book, co-authored with Dr. Harry Reis, is titled How To Feel Loved: The Five Mindsets That Get You More Of What Matters Most. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Why do so many people struggle to feel loved, even when they clearly are? How can admiration and praise actually leave us feeling lonelier? Why does believing you have to “earn” love block you from experiencing it? What happens to our mental health, relationships, and desire when we don't feel loved? How is modern technology undermining our sense of connection?

Most men want to love their wives and kids well—but still feel stuck, disconnected, or misunderstood.In this episode of the Dad Tired Podcast, Jerrad sits down with Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages, to talk about the deeper issue beneath most marriage and parenting struggles:

Have you ever asked yourself why even though you're married you don't feel loved? It's such a common place for us to find ourselves, but how should you deal with those feelings of loneliness and lack? In this episode I talk about what's causing the low feelings and how you can help yourself by giving yourself what no-one else can sustainably provide for you.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable.

Dr. Alexandra offers a calm, grounded path toward rebuilding desire, understanding, and connection.   Give your marriage the gift of deeper connection this holiday season.

The holidays can bring out both the best and the worst in a marriage. Between packed schedules, family dynamics, and endless to-do lists, it's easy for connection to get lost in the chaos. But this season doesn't have to feel like survival mode or that you are just getting through the functions. There are a few key areas in your relationship that—if you focus on them each day—can make you feel appreciated and united as a couple, no matter what the holidays throw your way. In this episode, we're sharing three powerful shifts with the "3C's" to help you stay emotionally close and work as a team through the holiday season. You'll walk away knowing exactly where to put your attention so the two of you can feel loved, supported, and in sync instead of drained or distant at the end of this holiday season.  Desiring to bring back more affection, intimacy, and spark during this season

You don't want flowers.You want reassurance.If he can post a story, he can send a sentence that says “I care about you.”This episode is for every woman who feels crazy for needing words - because guess what? You're not clingy. You're not insecure. You're under-affirmed.We're unpacking why hearing “I love you,” “I'm proud of you,” or “I'm here” hits like emotional oxygen… and why silence feels like abandonment.If his silence makes you overthink,if you keep replaying one compliment for three weeks,if you've ever begged a man to just communicate —you're in the right place.Hit play and stop settling for men who “feel it” but can't say it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most people don't really understand that love is something that people want to give. In fact, to give love is a human need. And they don't see that a person feels loved when the love they give is fully received. Let's dive into that in this episode.

In this episode, we talk about how to make your partner feel seen, heard, and loved. Cultivating a loving relationship takes skill and willingness to improve.

You've heard us talk about how different men and women are when it comes to sexual desires, and what puts a husband or wife in the mood. Men can be ready to go at any moments notice, and sex for most men is the way they feel loved, and gives them the validation that they are loved. For women, they need to feel loved before they are going to have the desire for sexual intimacy.For a woman to feel loved, they need to feel valued, listened to, respected, safe and emotionally connected. For men to feel loved, they need to be sexually connected.It is vital for couples to understand what each other needs to feel loved, and the importance of sexual intimacy in the relationship. In this episode we talk about why women need to feel loved to make love, and how to do that, and why men need to make love to feel loved.

Quiet disorganized attachment can make modern women feel invisible—shutting down out of fear of being “too much,” even when all they want is to be seen and loved. In this episode, Dawn Dubelbeis opens up about the impact of childhood trauma and how her attachment style shaped her adult relationships. Alongside Adam, they unpack the path of how to build connection from a place of safety, not survival. Topics Covered 

Fall in Love With Your Spouse Again: Kay's Story Marriage is one of God's most beautiful gifts—and one of His most powerful tools for growth and sanctification. But even after decades of love and commitment, many couples find themselves asking the quiet question: What happened to us? Maybe you're feeling distant from your spouse. Maybe you're still under the same roof—but it feels like you're living parallel lives. Maybe you've stopped hoping things can change. That's where Kay was after 33 years of marriage. But her story is a powerful reminder: It is possible to fall in love again—and to restore love in a marriage that feels broken. When You Feel Stuck in Your Marriage Kay and her husband had built a wonderful life: children, a family business, retirement, and shared dreams. But beneath it all, their connection was quietly dissolving. Kay shared with us, “We weren't arguing every day, but there was tension. There was distance. He finally told me, ‘If this is what the next 20 years are going to look like—I don't want it.'” Their marriage wasn't hostile—but it was cold. No more playfulness. No more laughter. And for Kay, no clear idea of what to do next. Christian Marriage Healing Starts in the Heart One night, Kay came across our podcast. She listened to a wife share her story—and saw her own reflection in the words. That night, she played the episode for her husband. Both of them ended up in tears. That was the moment God began softening her heart. But what came next wasn't a joint effort. It wasn't couples therapy. It was one wife, taking one faithful step forward. Kay didn't wait for her husband to change. She didn't try to force him into a process. She simply said yes to the work God wanted to do in her. And that's what began to heal everything. How to Save Your Marriage Alone—One Surrender at a Time There's a common lie in marriage restoration: If my spouse won't change, there's no hope. But Kay's story offers a different story: Sometimes the most powerful transformations happen when one spouse surrenders first. As she worked through the DYM program, she began seeing all the ways she had unintentionally pushed her husband away—through resentment, control, harshness, and silence. “I didn't realize how disrespectful I had become. How little admiration I showed. I had no idea how my own attitude was closing his heart off from me.” Through prayer, scripture, and community, God began to soften her heart. And without pushing, demanding, or even explaining—it softened his too. “He started coming home earlier. Laughing again. Helping more. And I never once asked him to.” When you let God begin with you, healing has a way of rippling outward. Biblical Marriage Advice for Wives Who Feel Disconnected When you've been married a long time, it's easy to assume the disconnection is just part of life. But biblical marriage advice doesn't teach resignation—it teaches hope, humility, and the power of the Holy Spirit to change hearts. If you're feeling distant from your spouse, here are some biblical truths and tools Kay leaned into: Let go of resentment. Carrying old pain closes the heart. Forgiveness opens it again. Replace criticism with admiration. Notice what your spouse is doing right. Thank them. Respect them—even when it feels hard. Spend time with God. Let His Word renew your mind and fill the empty places. Healing starts vertically before it ever flows horizontally. Surrender the outcome. You can't control your spouse—but you can invite God to transform you. “I realized this wasn't just Christian wife marriage help—it was God restoring my identity and softening my heart.” How to Reconnect After Years of Marriage When you've shared decades together, the idea of starting over may feel impossible. But learning how to reconnect after years of marriage isn't about erasing the past. It's about allowing God to do something new with the years ahead. Kay didn't try to recreate her early romance. She let God build something deeper, wiser, and more joyful than before. After 33 years, their hearts are tender again. Their home is peaceful. And their future is bright. When You Don't Feel Loved in Your Marriage—There Is Still Hope For so many, the pain isn't anger—it's loneliness. The ache of not being seen. Not being pursued. Not feeling cherished. If that's where you are—when you don't feel loved in your marriage—you are not disqualified from healing. Kay didn't feel loved when she started this journey. But as she learned to love God more deeply, and love her husband with grace and strength, she began to feel loved again too. Not because she was striving. But because she was surrendered. Christian Wife Marriage Help That Changes Everything Kay thought she was doing this program to fix her marriage. But God used it to fix something deeper: her heart. She discovered that Christian marriage healing isn't just about relationship tools. It's about identity. Surrender. Courage. And the quiet willingness to say, God, start with me. Friend, if your marriage feels cold, quiet, or disconnected—you're not alone. If you're longing for intimacy, peace, and laughter again—it is not too late.God is able. He is faithful. And your best years together could still be ahead. With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team PS - If you're ready to take the next step in healing your marriage, we would love to chat with you.

No variety in sex...I felt like my wife did not care about me. I had stopped initiating and I felt discouraged...Unhappy and unfulfilled would be the best words to describe my feelings but I tried to keep the feelings buried. [Now, my wife] gives me joy that pours into our marriage, my love for God, my family and others. God is love and I can better comprehend it when I am loved by my wife. Belah has transformed my life. I will never be the same. She has given me joy, hope, confidence and the realization that it is OK to be a man!"

SHLTMM CAN NOW BE HEARD ON YOUTUBE:YOUTUBE CHANNEL LINK: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoUWxgQECqrMqI1ylVH9DpwAs I mention in the introduction of my show, Gramps Jeffrey, I believe is the first grandfather I've interviewed on SHLTMM, so that's pretty great. I was so happy to hear how engaged he is with his grandchildren.Gramps' mother's name was Faye  and she really left quite an impression on him and his brother.  Faye was the youngest of 3 children, with two older brothers. Growing up during the Depression and  WWII, known as The Greatest Generation, was a very challenging time, "and my mother lived up to every expectation", continues Gramps.  While raising her two boys, she  insisted they turn off the tv and read-no if, ands or buts. "We loved our mother," says Gramps, referring to him and his brother. They grew up in a small town in Ohio, about 50 miles outside Columbus,  where they were free to play outside and knew when to come home in time for dinner. He had relatives nearby as well, including  lots of love and support from his grandmother and uncle.Gramps brags, "mom always had a positive attitude.  Her glass was always half full  and she was always looking at the 'bright side of life."  That philosophy  and her passion of reading certainly influenced Gramps and his interest in writing.  It's clearly stayed with him even today because he continues to write and read to  his 6 grandchildren."Mom would remind us regularly that we were very fortunate and had a good life, but that we can't forget other people. This world is hard and she knew it," remarks Gramps.  Faye had learned many life lessons from her paternal grandmother who lost her husband suddenly when he was only 49. She was left  to raise her  children  on her own, including Fay's dad. She also raised her nephew who had also lost his parents. But her grandmother was always smiling regardless of her hardships.Gramps Jeffrey is very concerned about the different parenting styles  today. Most concerns him most and feels is most important for every child is 'one on one attention' from the parent. Gramps feels so blessed to have had such a devoted mother, and hopes that parents still take the time to put the phone down, turn the computer off and just sit and read or spend that precious time with your children. Gramps' mom gave him such a sense of security. "We could always go home and feel secure, you felt love, you felt protected," remarks Gramps about his mom. One of his mom's favorite quotes was "when you love, you will teach others how to love."Gramps Jeffrey is truly committed to sharing this message.

Do you feel loved by God? True love is more than an emotion—it's a person. Kirk's personal insights from his journey as a "recovering atheist" demonstrate God's love through everyday blessings and ultimate sacrifice. God's love is the key that unlocks our ability to love others, especially our spouse, even when it feels undeserved or unreciprocated.

Love is at the heart of every strong relationship—but are we expressing it in a way that truly connects? Often, we assume that what makes us feel loved will do the same for others, but the truth is, everyone experiences love differently. In this episode, we're exploring love languages and how understanding them can transform the way we connect with our children, partners, and even ourselves. We'll break down the five love languages, dive into the science of connection, and share real-life examples of how small shifts in the way we express love can make a big difference. Whether you're parenting, in a relationship, or simply wanting to strengthen your bonds with the people in your life, this episode is packed with practical insights.If you'd like to get the show notes for this episode, head to: https://leighgermann.com

Have you ever struggled to feel like you're truly loved? Maybe you have a head knowledge that God or your husband or parents love you, but somehow you still feel lonely or unseen? If that's you, then today's episode will encourage your heart as you hear Heather talk about some strategies to help you feel loved. Especially at Valentine's Day, it can be hard to feel like someone loves us enough unless they are doing all the things that culture says they should be doing to show their love. But is that what love is really about? Or, does feeling love have little to do with flowers and reservations and more to do with what we believe about God and our own value?

Love isn't just about grand gestures—it's in the little everyday moments that build connection, trust, and self-worth. In this special Valentine's episode of Overpowering Emotions, I discuss how to strengthen relationships with kindness, compassion, and understanding.

Valentine's Day can feel overwhelming when you're newly single—reminders of love are everywhere, and the loneliness can feel sharper than ever. But what if, instead of dreading it, you used this time to lean into love in a way that actually makes you feel connected, supported, and at peace? In this episode, I share three defining relationships—one where I was left, one where I did the leaving, and one where I stayed—to show you how love exists in every stage of your journey. You'll learn how to shift your perspective, embrace love from your past, present, and future, and walk into Valentine's Day feeling empowered rather than anxious. If you're ready to transform this holiday from painful to powerful, this episode is for you.   LIVE (Feb 10 - 14) 5 day How to Get Over Your Ex Training: https://dorothyabjohnson.com/5daylivetraining/  Enrollment for the Get Over Your Ex program opens FEBRUARY 13th!

Today's episode is the result of lots of feedback after recent episodes where we heard stories of the young women who were being pimped by Germaine. He had told each one that he loved them. The common theme in the messages I received was that the women were not seeking drugs, they were seeking the feeling of being loved and the men they found got them hooked on drugs and turned them into hookers! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/a2d--from-addict-to-disci/support

Hey, Sister-friend

We've been diving into what it really means to love God unconditionally—and let's be real, this is tough for most of us. We're so used to relationships being built on reciprocated energy—where both sides show up, support each other, and put in equal effort. But what happens when it feels like God isn't holding up His end? What do you do when He's silent, His presence feels distant, and life is hitting hard? In this episode, we'll talk through how to love God, even when you don't feel loved by Him.Key Points: View Love From A Different PerspectiveThink Of How Deserving God IsLove Doesn't Always Feel GoodLoving God When You Don't Feel LovedResources: Join The Waitlist For Dreaming To Achieving - https://expert-builder-3666.ck.page/dtawaitlistStart Your Own Podcast Course - https://www.skillshare.com/en/classes/How-To-Start-A-Podcast-For-Beginners/1142543427?teacherRef=958930354&via=teacher-referral&utm_campaign=teacher-referral-1142543427&utm_source=Skillshare&utm_medium=class-teacher-referral-emailThe Royal Faith Journal - https://prosperingwithchrist.systeme.io/theroyalfaithjournal Prospering With Christ Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/prosperingwithchristConnect With Us:Instagram | @ProsperingwithchristTiktok | @ProsperingwithchristYouTube | Prospering With ChristFacebook | Prospering With ChristMusic: Intro: Milkyway By Batik Music ( https://soundcloud.com/batikmusic/milkyway )
