2026 Theme: Love

from Help for Loving Relationships · host Shane Adamson

Send us Fan MailWelcome to 2026! We’re exploring this year’s theme—Love—what helps it grow and what causes it to fade. Drawing from relationship research, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, we highlight key qualities that strengthen love toward self and others—such as emotional availability, compassion, healthy boundaries, gratitude, accountability, and repair. We also discuss common habits that diminish love, including criticism, avoidance, shame, defensiveness, and neglect of personal needs. For those with a spiritual life, we reflect on how loving God through devotion, service, and integrity deepens self-worth, emotional regulation, and more loving relationships with others.
