What Heartbreak Taught Us About Love

What Heartbreak Taught Us About Love

Author: Dear Media February 9, 2026 Duration: 1:00:22
In this special Valentine’s Day episode, I sit down with my husband, Vic. Together, we reflect on the beauty of second chances, the hard seasons that shaped us, and why Valentine’s Day can be both a joyful celebration and a difficult reminder for so many. We talk about the myths surrounding romance, the pressure society places on this holiday, and how love is so much bigger than chocolates, flowers, or date nights. With humor, tenderness, faith, and real-life perspective, Vic and I share the lessons we’ve learned through heartbreak, healing, and God’s perfect timing. In this episode, we cover:Why Valentine’s Day can feel painful or complicated for manyHow to reframe the holiday around giving, gratitude, and love beyond romanceThe power of second chances and God’s timing in relationshipsWhy the only thing worse than being alone is being with the wrong personThe importance of honesty, growth, and letting go of perfectionWhat we’ve learned from past mistakes, loss, and uncomfortable “yeses”How faith became the foundation of our marriageWhy every day can be an opportunity to love someone well Have a question for Dominique?
