Why do we fear love and sometimes run from the very thing we crave most? In this episode, Jim and Teresa unpack the two kinds of commitment fears:

• The fear of losing love, which leads to people-pleasing, over-functioning, or clinging.
• The fear of keeping love, which leads to avoidance, withdrawal, or self-sabotage.

With honesty, humor, and 44 years of marriage wisdom, they discuss how these fears form from past wounds and how to find security, vulnerability, and faith-based freedom in your relationships.

This episode will help you recognize emotional patterns, communicate with courage, and take practical steps toward deeper connection and lasting love.
