In this episode of Kenosis Conversations, Christine and Jackson explore a question many people wrestle with when dating or building relationships: How much should we pay attention to red flags?
Today’s culture often encourages people to create long lists of “icks” or warning signs in potential partners. But is constantly searching for red flags actually helping us build healthy relationships, or preventing them?
Drawing from marriage and family therapy, clinical psychology, and real counseling experience, this conversation dives into:
- Why people naturally look for red flags in relationships
- The cultural trend of “icks” and impossible standards
- The surprising idea that love may simply be attention
- How truly listening to another person changes relationships
- The difference between healthy love and unhealthy dependency
- Why boundaries become clearer when we are truly paying attention
- How love, attention, and presence can transform our lives and relationships
If you’re navigating dating, relationships, or simply trying to understand people better, this conversation will give you a deeper perspective on what love actually looks like in practice.
