Podcasts about Jealousy

A divorced woman calls Esther to untangle a new love that brings both exhilaration and heartache. She is in a relationship with a married man whose marriage is ethically non-monogamous and finds herself caught between desire, jealousy and the longing to feel chosen. As the conversation unfolds, buried childhood wounds, attachment patterns, and an inherited inner critic rise to the surface. They explore how old stories shape present love and what it might mean to rewrite the story she tells herself about love.

As a single Christian woman, you've probably heard teachings on biblical submission in marriage—passages like Ephesians 5:22-24 that call wives to “submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.” But what does that mean for you right now, while you’re unmarried? Does submission only apply once you say “I do,” or is there something deeper God wants to cultivate in your heart during this season of singleness? The good news? Submission isn’t reserved for married women alone. It’s a […] The post What Submission Looks Like When You’re Not Married Yet appeared first on Christian Singles Advice | Christian Dating Advice Tips.

“God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.” — Genesis 4:25 God had told Adam and Eve that there would be consequences for their sin. When Eve gave birth to Cain and then Abel, she experienced the pain of childbirth—but, sadly, more pain would come.As the boys grew up, one was drawn to till the soil, and the other to keep flocks. But when they brought offerings to God from the fruits of their labors, there was a difference. Abel brought the best portions, but Cain brought merely “some of the fruits of the soil.” God looked with favor on Abel, but not on Cain. Jealousy sparked, and Cain grew angry while Abel grew closer to God. Cain nurtured his anger, and eventually he killed his brother.Adam and Eve grieved the loss of one son by death and of the other by banishment through the just judgment of God. Their home was no longer full. The pain of childbirth could not compare to the pain of losing both sons.Then Adam and Eve conceived again and welcomed a new child, and Eve gave praise for what God granted.Some of you know the pain of losing a child. Some wonder if God can bring new life in after such a loss. Pain is not the end of our story because God, who loves us, is present with us.Through Adam and Eve's new child, Seth, God began preparing a way for his own Son, Jesus, to come into the world. And he became the Savior from sin for all who believe in him. Dear God, help us to see beyond our pain and to trust that you can bring us healing and even joy again. Thank you for being present with us. In Jesus, Amen.

When pregnancy announcements stir up thoughts like “God must love her more,” it can leave you feeling ashamed, confused, and distant from Him. In this episode, we unpack what the Bible really says about jealousy in infertility — and how to process it in a way that heals your heart instead of hardening it.

On this week’s Bestie Advice segment, we’re talking about jealousy, the kind that lingers after betrayal and quietly follows you into new relationships. We respond to an anonymous listener who shares her experience of being cheated on. This conversation explores where jealousy often comes from, how past wounds shape present reactions, and why these feelings are usually less about your partner and more about the safety you feel within yourself. Supportive, honest, and very big-sister energy.

Episode 205:Last time Ben Jonson's retelling of a slice of Roman Imperial history failed to impress at the Globe theatre. As an actor in that play Shakespeare had first-hand experience of the way the audience in the theatre could turn on the poet and the players alike, but it is difficult to think that his confidence in his own work was much dented by the experience. His next play ‘The Tragedy of Othello, The Moor of Venice' is, I would say, brim full of the confidence of an experienced playwright who knew that his play would both entertain on several levels and provoke much thought in the audience.The dating and first performance of the playThe early publication history of the playDetails from a performance in 1610The source material for the playThe structure of the playThe significance of Venice and CyprusThe structural balances in the playThe poetry and imagery in the playThe use of language as a dramatic techniqueThe urgency of the opening of the playThe character of Iago and how he manipulates his victimsThe character of BrabantioWhat the Elizabethan audience might have thought of a ‘moor'Queen Elizabeth's attitude to immigrants from AfricaHow Shakespeare handled the racial aspects of the playThe character of Micheal CassioSupport the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

FEB. 25, 2026Overcoming envy."Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?" Pr 27:4 KJVUnlike jealousy, which is the fear of being displaced, envy is ill-will toward those who possess something you want. Jealousy says, "I'm afraid you are going to take what I have." Envy says, "I want what you have, and I resent you for having it!" Envy is one of the most frequently concealed emotions. You may be more likely to admit to anuncontrollable temper, a phobia, or any other negative emotion than to acknowledge that you are envious. Envy inevitably leads to resenting and criticizing the person you envy. And once you allow envy and resentment to enter your heart, they act like free radicals producing an emotional cancer.Eventually they will manifest themselves in some destructive way, whether it is in the form of taking mood-altering substances, overeating, shopping excessively, lashing out, being sarcastic, or physically harming others. If you harbor envy toward someone, it's time to deal with it. David wrote: "You desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow" (Ps 51:6-7 NIV). If you covet what someone else has, ask yourself, "Am I willing to pay the price they paid to obtain it?" The world has a saying: "There is no such thing as a free lunch." Everything-except salvation-has a price tag. So whether you want to be thin, rich, educated, or whatever, stop envying the success of others, and ask God to help you succeed in the assignment He has given you for your life.Overcoming envy Everything has a price tag.Share This DevotionalSend a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

It’s not always easy to celebrate when someone else receives the very blessing you’ve been praying for. You may smile, offer congratulations, and truly want to feel joy for them—yet beneath the surface, there’s a quiet sting. Why them and not me? Genesis 4 introduces us to that very struggle. Cain and Abel both brought offerings to the Lord, yet God looked with favor on Abel’s gift and not on Cain’s. Cain’s anger grew, and instead of trusting God, he allowed jealousy and resentment to take root. The story reminds us that comparison is dangerous ground. When we believe God’s generosity toward someone else somehow limits His goodness toward us, we misunderstand who He is. God’s blessings are not a limited resource. He is infinite in love, mercy, grace, and provision. Jealousy whispers that we’ve been overlooked. Pride insists we deserve more. But trust anchors us in the truth: God’s timing and plans are intentional, even when we don’t understand them. His generosity toward others does not diminish His care for you. Like a bud waiting for its season to bloom, you can trust that your time will come. You don’t have to compete for God’s favor. You are already His beloved child. Main Takeaways It’s human to feel envy when others receive blessings we desire. Cain’s story shows the danger of letting jealousy take root. God’s generosity is not limited—His blessing of others does not exclude you. Comparison can lead to resentment, but trust leads to peace. You don’t have to compete for God’s love or favor—you already belong to Him. Today’s Bible Verse “In the course of time, Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering, he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.” - Genesis 4:3-5 NIV Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “Help me see my brothers and sisters as companions, not competitors, and trust Your perfect timing.” Listen to the full prayer here.

A – What is this about? This passage recounts how Jonathan confirms that Saul is determined to kill David. Through a secret signal with arrows, Jonathan protects David, and the two friends share a sorrowful farewell marked by covenant loyalty, even as Saul's pride and jealousy spiral further. B – Best verse to summarize this: 1 Samuel 20:42 — "Then Jonathan said to David, 'Go in peace, since we have both sworn in the name of the LORD… May the LORD be between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants forever.'" C – What are we called to do? We are called to practice loyal, covenant love—standing for what is right even at personal cost, rejecting pride and jealousy, and trusting God's sovereign plan rather than clinging to power or control.

Después del 14 de febrero, Roberto Belmont y Juan Manuel Torreblanca abordan la cara menos romántica del amor: las ataduras espirituales y los vínculos paranormales que se activan cuando una relación termina, cuando hay duelo no resuelto o cuando una pareja fue posesiva y violenta. Desde la parapsicología se describe el apego espiritual como un anclaje de conciencia o presencia que influye en la persona vinculada, a veces con pensamientos intrusivos, insomnio, parálisis del sueño y escaladas físicas que, según los testimonios, incluyen marcas, golpes, sensaciones de estrangulamiento y fenómenos observables por terceros. El episodio subraya una línea crítica: primero descartar causas clínicas y de salud mental, y solo después evaluar si hay manifestaciones externas verificables. Se repasan patrones históricos documentados en el siglo XX y un caso emblemático en Estados Unidos: Doris Bither, cuya experiencia habría inspirado elementos del cine paranormal. También se expone un caso contemporáneo donde el remanente del vínculo celoso persiste tras la muerte, afectando a una nueva relación. Cerramos con estrategias prácticas para cortar el bucle de obsesión y recuperar agencia: ocuparse, mover el cuerpo, cuidar la atención, y aprender a cerrar por dentro incluso cuando no hay un cierre con la otra persona. CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS 00:10 Advertencia de contenido y apertura del episodio 00:40 Amor y amistad, expectativas y desilusión en fechas “especiales” 02:04 Resignificar el 14 de febrero y por qué se vuelve una fecha pesada 03:14 Qué es una atadura espiritual y por qué es más común de lo que parece 04:53 Apego espiritual, influencia psíquica, pensamientos intrusivos y verificación por terceros 07:37 Salud mental vs. fenómeno externo: cuándo descartar primero lo clínico 09:14 Duelo, vulnerabilidad y cómo el recuerdo puede reforzar un vínculo atemporal 13:43 Consejos prácticos: ocuparse, caminar, moverse y cortar la rumiación 16:40 Caso Doris Bither: contexto, investigación y por qué el ciclo puede reforzarse 22:22 Síndrome del amante fantasma: patrones históricos, marcas, peso en la cama y escalada traumática 30:55 Humor vs. trauma: por qué estas experiencias no se cuentan con facilidad 33:16 Caso Holly: acoso tras la muerte de la expareja, celos, ataques y rupturas 38:16 Remanentes del vínculo: obsesión, violencia y el costo emocional de aferrarse 40:40 Cierres y desapego: cómo despedirse por dentro aunque no haya despedida “frontal” 43:20 Despedida y próximos contenidos FAQ ¿Qué es una atadura espiritual? Es un vínculo afectivo y psíquico persistente que, según testimonios, puede influir en la persona y escalar a intrusiones sensoriales o físicas. ¿Por qué se habla de “vínculo” y no solo de recuerdos? Porque la atención sostenida, la obsesión y el duelo no resuelto pueden alimentar un bucle emocional que se siente presente en el día a día. ¿Cómo distinguir depresión o ansiedad de un fenómeno externo? Primero se recomienda descartar causas clínicas; si hay efectos verificables por terceros o manifestaciones físicas no explicables, se evalúa el caso con más rigor. ¿Caminar y moverse realmente ayuda? Sí, porque reduce rumiación, regula emociones y corta el encierro conductual que suele intensificar el bucle de obsesión. ¿Se puede “cerrar” sin ver a la otra persona? Sí, el cierre efectivo es interno: despedirse por dentro y soltar el vínculo aunque la otra persona no participe. # What happens when a relationship ends but the bond behaves as if it never did? After Valentine's Day, Observador Paranormal examines spiritual attachments, paranormal relationship bonds, and the darker side of “forever” promises. The hosts describe how fixation, unresolved grief, and toxic dynamics can evolve into a sustained mental-emotional loop that feels present in waking life, sometimes escalating into reported sensory intrusions, sleep paralysis, bruises, scratches, choking sensations, and disturbances witnessed by partners or family members. They draw a clear boundary for responsible discussion: start with clinical screening and mental health support, then look for externally verifiable elements before labeling anything paranormal. The episode revisits the Doris Bither case and how investigator focus on the phenomenon can unintentionally reinforce the bond if the person's emotional loop remains intact. They also discuss 20th-century “Ghost Lover Syndrome” narratives and a contemporary case in which a deceased ex-partner's jealousy appears to sabotage a new relationship. The takeaway is practical and evergreen: reclaim attention, reduce rumination, move your body, rebuild routines, and practice internal closure even when the other person refuses to provide a clean ending. CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS 00:10 Content warning and episode opening 00:40 Love, friendship, expectations, and disappointment around “special dates” 02:04 Reframing Valentine's Day and why it can feel heavy 03:14 What a spiritual attachment is and why it may be more common than assumed 04:53 Attachments, intrusive thoughts, and why third-party verification matters 07:37 Mental health first: when to rule out clinical causes before paranormal claims 09:14 Grief, vulnerability, and how memory can reinforce an atemporal bond 13:43 Practical tools: stay occupied, walk, move, and interrupt rumination 16:40 The Doris Bither case: context, investigation, and how cycles can intensify 22:22 Ghost Lover Syndrome patterns: marks, bed pressure, and traumatic escalation 30:55 Humor vs. trauma: why people rarely talk about intense experiences 33:16 The Holly case: jealousy, attacks, and relationship sabotage after death 38:16 The residue of the bond: obsession, violence, and emotional cost 40:40 Closure and detachment: how to say goodbye internally without a final talk 43:20 Wrap-up and what's coming next FAQ What is a spiritual attachment? A persistent emotional-psychic bond people report as influencing thoughts, sleep, and sometimes physical or sensory experiences. Why focus on attention and rumination? Because sustained fixation can strengthen the emotional loop that keeps the bond feeling active. How do you separate mental health symptoms from a paranormal claim? Start with clinical evaluation and support; only then consider reports that include external corroboration. Why does walking or movement help? It disrupts rumination, regulates mood, and reduces isolation patterns that often intensify nighttime experiences. Can you get closure without speaking to the other person? Yes. Effective closure is internal: you detach inside, even if the other person won't cooperate. # Depois do Dia dos Namorados, o Observador Paranormal investiga o lado sombrio de vínculos afetivos que parecem continuar mesmo após uma separação ou morte. O episódio aborda apegos espirituais e vínculos paranormais que, segundo relatos, surgem quando há luto não elaborado, promessas de amor eterno, relações tóxicas marcadas por controle e ciúme, e um ciclo de atenção obsessiva que mantém o laço “vivo” na mente e no corpo. Os anfitriões descrevem sinais frequentemente associados a esses casos, como pensamentos intrusivos, paralisia do sono, pesadelos, sensação de peso na cama, marcas no corpo e episódios de agressão percebidos por testemunhas próximas. Ao mesmo tempo, reforçam um ponto essencial: primeiro investigar saúde mental, sono e fatores clínicos; só depois considerar ocorrências que tenham confirmação externa e consistência. O caso Doris Bither é revisitado como referência histórica de investigação, junto com relatos do século XX atribuídos à síndrome do amante fantasma. Na parte final, um caso contemporâneo mostra como o ciúme e o controle podem parecer persistir e sabotar uma nova relação. A proposta prática é clara: recuperar o foco, interromper a ruminação, criar movimento e rotina, e trabalhar o encerramento interno mesmo quando não existe um “fechamento” com a outra pessoa. FAQ O que é um apego espiritual? Um vínculo emocional e psíquico persistente que, segundo relatos, pode influenciar pensamentos, sono e experiências sensoriais. Por que a ruminação é tão importante nesses casos? Porque a fixação contínua pode manter o vínculo ativo e intensificar sintomas noturnos. Como diferenciar sintomas psicológicos de algo externo? Comece por avaliação clínica e suporte; depois considere relatos com confirmação de terceiros e consistência de sinais. Por que caminhar e se mover ajuda? Porque reduz ruminação, regula emoções e quebra o isolamento que costuma piorar o quadro. Dá para encerrar sem falar com a outra pessoa? Sim. O encerramento mais eficaz é interno: desapegar por dentro, mesmo sem participação do outro.   Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this Parshas Terumah review, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe focuses on the practical meaning of the Tabernacle (Mishkan) command: “Make Me a sanctuary and I will dwell in them” (Exodus 25:8)—not “in it,” but “in them” (the people). God doesn't need a house; the Mishkan is for building intimate closeness between Hashem and the Jewish people. The Temple (and today synagogues/study halls) is a place of relationship, security, and nurturing divine connection—not a distant monument.Key lessons & practical applications:The Mishkan's purpose — God wants to reside within us (V'shachanti b'tocham). The Holy of Holies had two cherubim facing each other (God & Israel); when Jews follow Torah, they face; when not, they turn away. The home/temple is for private, intimate time with God.Gratitude for seeing descendants — Sarah, Rivka, and Rachel never saw grandchildren; Leah likely saw Asenat. Today's privilege of seeing grandchildren/great-grandchildren is enormous—grandparents must influence positively without interfering (e.g., no naming veto; parents alone decide).Naming & prophecy — Parents receive prophetic guidance at birth/bris (alleged Midrash). Adding a second name (e.g., after deceased relative) is common. Spontaneous additions (like Rabbi's son Yehuda-Noach at bris) reflect divine inspiration.Jealousy vs. knowledge of Hashem — First commandment (“Anochi Hashem…”) and last (“Lo tachmod”) connect: coveting denies Hashem's perfect plan for you. Compare only to your own potential.Modern miracles & awe — Technology (smartphones, Neuralink) reveals Hashem's wonders—don't let them become routine. Israeli survival despite missiles is ongoing splitting of the sea.The rabbi urges bold Jewish pride (yarmulke/tzitzit/tefillin in public), relentless self-improvement, and living with awe: see daily yesh me'ayin (creation from nothing) and thank Hashem constantly._____________This episode of the Parsha Review Podcast is dedicated in honor of Lenny & Teresa FriedmanDownload & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on February 20, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 22, 2026_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

If you've ever been turned on by feelings of jealousy, you are so not alone. Dr. Marie Thouin wrote the book on compersion, so she's the perfect person to join us to get real about erotic jealousy, humiliation, being “the unchosen one,” and why some of us get hot exactly where we've been hurt. In this reverse interview, Joli shares candid stories from early non-monogamy and triad life, using masturbation and fantasy to work with jealousy, and how disposability, comparison, and attachment wounds all show up in her erotic life.They also dig into the ethics and weirdness of fantasizing about real people (including metamours), the idea of “participatory jealousy,” and what it really takes to play with this energy without burning everything down. You'll hear about kink as a tool for transformation, what happens in the “underworld” of big feelings, and how new erotic experiences can actually rewire old wounds—and make more room for compersion, nuance, and genuine choice in how you relate to jealousy.In this episode, we talk about:— Jealousy as a source of turn-on rather than a problem to fix— The relationship between jealousy, shame, and the struggle for Compersion— Joli's personal journey with jealousy in early non-monogamy and triad living— Using masturbation and fantasy to work with jealous feelings— The erotic charge of disposability, being “unchosen,” and humiliation— How attachment wounds and humiliation kink intersect with jealousy— Ethical questions about fantasizing about real people (including metamours)— Using placeholders/roles vs. specific individuals in erotic imagination— The idea of “participatory jealousy” and reclaiming agency— Alchemizing jealousy into something transformative (using a Jungian/alchemical lens)— The role of safety, trust, and betrayal in whether jealousy play can be healing— Kink as a tool for psychological transformation, not just sensation— Memory reconsolidation and how new erotic experiences can rewrite old wounds— Keeping metamours present in the imagination to support compersionResources mentioned in this episode:— Dr. Marie Thouin's website— Justin Lehmiller's research on sexual fantasies— Joli's guest episode on Girl Boner Radio with August McLaughlin— Episode 215 Nurturing Established Relationship EnergyJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & support.

Do you battle with insecurity or comparison? Today, Joyce reveals how jealousy harms your soul and how choosing gratitude and love brings freedom and peace in your life.

"Babe, he hates you" harsh words, but sometimes the truth hurts when a man's jealousy masquerades as "love."In this raw, empowering episode of Quality Queen Control, Asha Christina breaks down how to identify when a man is jealous of you the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs he's threatened by your success, beauty, confidence, ambition, or light.From passive-aggressive comments, downplaying your wins, constant criticism, sabotage disguised as "advice," withholding celebration, controlling behavior, or even copying/undermining you jealousy isn't cute; it's toxic and often rooted in his insecurity, not your flaws. Asha blends psychology insights on envy/intimidation with faith-based wisdom: God didn't design you to shrink for insecure men or block your own blessings by staying with someone who resents your rise.Learn to spot these red flags early, protect your peace, raise your standards, heal from toxic dynamics, and attract high-value men who celebrate not compete with your God-given greatness. No more dimming your shine for a man who secretly hates your glow. 

Provoking God to Jealousy

Is jealousy stealing your joy? Today, Joyce shows how comparison robs your joy and how celebrating others blessings frees your heart to receive God's best for you.

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we examine two intentional homicide cases connected by a deeper pattern of proximity, access, and life transition.In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 19-year-old Sade Robinson disappeared after a first date. Her dismembered remains were later discovered near Lake Michigan. Investigators arrested Maxwell Anderson, who now faces charges including first-degree intentional homicide, dismemberment of a corpse, and arson.In Seat Pleasant, Maryland, 24-year-old Lamont Adaire Jr. — a father and athlete preparing to play professional basketball in China — was shot 12 times in a coordinated attack. Franklin Scott later pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to 50 years.Two cities.Two lives in motion.Two acts of deliberate violence.Cases & Locations ReferencedTopics This episode explores dating violence, digital evidence, jealousy, entitlement, masculinity, and the vulnerability that can accompany major life transitions.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Rosh Chodesh Adar), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the deeper meaning of Purim through Haman's character and the Talmudic hint connecting him to the Tree of Knowledge in Genesis (“Hamin ha'etz” = Haman's letters). Haman had everything—wealth, power, the king's ring, family, universal bowing—yet one Jew (Mordechai) refusing to bow made it all “worth nothing” to him.This mirrors Adam and Eve: they had everything in Eden except one tree—yet focused only on what they lacked, leading to disaster. The flaw of humanity is looking outside (coveting what others have) instead of inside (recognizing Hashem's perfect gifts). Jealousy (Lo Tachmod)—the last of the Ten Commandments—directly opposes the first (“Anochi Hashem Elokecha”): coveting denies Hashem's plan for you.Key to Adar joy (Mishenichnas Adar marbim b'simcha): Look inside—Alef-Dar (“the Master resides within you”). Hashem gives exactly what you need; when you recognize this, joy increases. Stop comparing; maximize your unique gifts. The month of Adar is about internal revelation of Hashem's goodness—complaining fades when we see He's in control and provides perfectly.The rabbi urges gratitude for life's blessings (health, family, livelihood) and practical joy: stop coveting, embrace your portion, and live with awe of Hashem's constant gifts._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 19, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

What does science actually say about monogamy, desire, and long-term love? Evolutionary biologist Dr. Justin Garcia joins co-host Sue Marriott to deepen our understanding of the myths and realities of modern relationships. From monogamy to consensual non-monogamy, we explore how jealousy and trust function – not as flaws – but as deeply human signals shaped by biology and attachment. Dr. Garcia breaks down how relationships shift over time, especially as we age, and why sexual satisfaction isn't just about frequency – it's about novelty, meaning, and connection. We dive into the neuroscience of intimacy, including the roles of dopamine and oxytocin, and revisit the Kinsey scale to better understand the fluidity of sexual orientation. This conversation is a grounded, nuanced look at how passion evolves, and how couples can intentionally cultivate desire, curiosity, and emotional safety over the long haul. “Humans, the most intimate animal, will always live and die for love. Understanding why gives us the power to find and maintain the loves worth living for.” – Dr. Justin Garcia, a quote from The Intimate Animal Time Stamps for Why Long-Term Love Gets Complicated: A Scientific Approach with Dr. Justin Garcia (291) 00:57 Understanding social vs. sexual monogamy 04:32 The evolutionary perspective on relationships 08:26 Jealousy and relationship dynamics 20:25 Sexuality and aging: A new perspective 28:44 The power of eye gaze and oxytocin 30:30 Understanding aggression: Oxytocin and vasopressin dynamics 39:01 Exploring sexual diversity and the Kinsey scale About Our Guest – Dr. Justin Garcia Dr. Justin Garcia is an evolutionary biologist and international authority on the science of sex and relationships.
