9. Marriage and other illusions of security

9. Marriage and other illusions of security

Happily ever after is just a myth and fantasy. Our culture tells us that marriage will bring us lifelong happiness, fulfillment, and most of all, a deep sense of security… but does it really? The stories we’re sold about love, relationships, and romance teach us to put our sense of security outside of ourselves, when in reality it’s something that exists within.


In this episode, we explore:

  • Romance myths upholding marriage as relationship security
  • Illusions of security in modern society
  • Parallels between money and love
  • The risks of outsourcing your sense of safety
  • Cultivating an inherent sense of self-worth
  • Wanting without needing
  • Practical advice for relationship clarity


Books/Articles mentioned:

  • Marriage, a History: From Obedience to Intimacy or How Love Conquered Marriage, Stephanie Coontz
  • A History of Marriage, Elizabeth Abbott
  • The Sociology of Begging Someone to Marry You, Telling the Bees
  • What Love Is: And What it Could Be, Dr. Carrie Jenkins
