You Can Choose Who You Love : Attraction vs. Commitment

Love can feel powerful, intoxicating, and even life-changing, but it’s important to remember that not every love story is meant to last forever. Sometimes, you can be deeply attracted to someone, share intense intimacy, and still know in your heart that they are not your soulmate or the person you want to build a future with. This episode explores what it means to tell the difference between attraction and compatibility, between temporary passion and long-term commitment. We’ll talk about how to understand when someone is “dating material” versus “marriage material,” how to recognize red flags in love that can’t be ignored, and how to stop confusing emotional highs with a genuine foundation for partnership.

As you move through university years, career transitions, and the pressure of early adulthood, the relationships you choose can shape your entire path. That’s why it becomes essential to practice self-love, set boundaries, and strengthen your emotional intelligence before committing your whole life to someone. When you fall for a person who excites you but doesn’t align with your future planning, you may be facing commitment issues or simply realizing that this connection, while beautiful, belongs in the category of temporary rather than lifelong. 

So if you’ve ever wondered why loving someone doesn’t always mean marrying them, or how to balance passion with practicality, this episode will give you the tools to think differently. Because not every relationship is meant to last, but every relationship can teach you to love with more honesty, more strength, and more purpose.
