#93 - LOVE WITHOUT AN EXPIRATION DATE: The Secret to Success in Relationships with Pep Borrell | ...
Is choosing a partner the most important decision of your life? It could be, and yet it's the one we prepare for the least. In this episode of Roca Project, Pep Borrel reveals his secrets to successful relationships, whether dating or married, achieving a love without an expiration date. Pep has spent years traveling the world as a speaker, researching and talking about love, and what he's seen in thousands of people is always the same: it's not that we don't love enough, it's that we've learned to love poorly.

In this podcast, Pep presents a disruptive yet traditional proposal about what romantic relationships should be. He explains everything from how to choose a marriage partner with realistic criteria to the important issues before marriage that most couples never discuss: children, money, in-laws, faith, and illness. Pep shares his experience of why marriages fail, the red flags to be aware of during courtship that we often ignore, and gives his opinion on whether living together before marriage or having intimate relationships is truly the right path or a mistake that complicates things more than it simplifies them.
One of the central ideas of the episode is that Pep defends something that makes some people uncomfortable: love is a decision, not a feeling. And that the difference between a happy, long-term marriage and one that breaks down lies not in grand gestures, but in the smallest, everyday things. We also talk about how to repair a damaged relationship and the limits of forgiveness in a couple after infidelity. Pep doesn't hide the fact that his views on sexuality in marriage and on how to transmit values to children come from a Catholic conviction lived from within, not from sermons, but from daily example.
How to know if your relationship has a future doesn't depend on how long you've been together or how much fun you have. It depends on whether you truly know each other. And to do that, you first need to know who you are. If you want to build a lasting relationship, this episode might help you figure out if you're on the right track.
