Love Grows When Pride Shrinks

Love doesn’t die from lack of feelings — it dies from too much pride.In this powerful episode of It’s Been a Journey, we unpack the truth behind the statement: “Love Grows When Pride Shrinks.” So many relationships struggle not because love is gone, but because ego is too loud. When we need to be right more than we need to be whole… when apology feels like weakness… when vulnerability feels unsafe… pride quietly builds walls where intimacy once lived.We’re talking about:• How pride disguises itself as “boundaries”• Why saying “I’m sorry” feels harder than saying “I’m done”• The spiritual cost of ego in relationships• What humility actually looks like in love• How to rebuild connection without losing yourselfThis episode is about maturity. It’s about self-awareness. It’s about choosing unity over being right. Because real love doesn’t compete — it yields, it listens, it softens.If you’ve ever found yourself in a cycle of defensiveness, silent treatment, or emotional distance… this conversation will meet you right where you are.Before asking, “Why aren’t we growing?”Ask, “Where am I still guarding?”Love expands in safe spaces.Pride suffocates them.Press play. Reflect deeply. Grow intentionally. #ItsBeenAJourney #LoveAndGrowth #RelationshipHealing #EmotionalMaturity #LetLoveLead #HumilityInLove
