You don't love who you want to marry. You love who you are married to. In this provocative, deeply insightful episode of Unbroken Podcast, host Richard Akita sits down for a raw conversation that will challenge everything you think you know about love, attraction, and the difference between falling for someone and committing to them for life. This episode breaks down the uncomfortable truth most people refuse to hear: you don't love the person you're dating, you're attracted to them. Love is not what brings you to the altar, it's what you build after you say I do. The conversation dives into why most proposals are based on excitement instead of homework, why you should never agree to marry someone at the peak of your attraction but rather at the pinnacle of your mastery over the person, and the shocking reality that if you commit to loving someone before marriage, you're locking yourself into managing their flaws forever whether they change or not. This isn't just relationship advice. It's a masterclass in discernment, teachability, and knowing the difference between a weakness you can empower and a character you need to flee from. The guest explains why helpers are stronger than the ones seeking help, why you should marry someone determined you'll stay even if they never change, and the one question every person needs to ask before they walk down the aisle: is this person teachable? The conversation also tackles toxic attachments, why daddy's girls and mommy's boys are red flags you cannot ignore, and why more than 80% of flamboyant proposals never turn into the marriages they promised. If you're dating, engaged, or wondering why your last relationship didn't work, this conversation will give you the clarity, the language, and the courage to stop chasing feelings and start building foundations. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎙️ ABOUT THE HOST Mr Richard Akita is a multifaceted relationship and life coach, author, entrepreneur, and corporate trainer with over 30–35 years of experience in management and personal development.
