COMING THURS 5/2 on More2Life Radio: When Doing Right Turns Out Wrong 2013-05-02T08:15:44-05:00 Rachael Popcak and Dr. Gregory Popcak

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

When Doing Right Turns Out Wrong–We all know that being self-sacrificing should make relationships better.  But what about times when doing good for others causes us to be ignored, resented, or abused?  New research shows that the difference comes down to HOW you’re being self-donative, not if.  In fact, some types of generosity actually make relationships worse.

Today we’ll explore those times when it feels like doing the right thing in your relationship keeps turning out wrong and we’ll identify ways to make things good again.

Call in from Noon-1pm E (11am-Noon C) at 877-573-7825 with your questions about the times when the people you love just don’t seem to get it and react to your attempts to be loving with disdain, disinterest, or outright hostility.

Don’t forget to respond to our More2Life FB Q of the D:  Tell us about a time you tried to be loving/generous to someone and it didn’t turn out the way you hoped.  (e.g., You were ignored, resented or attacked in return.)
