Not all lies are loud.

In marriage, it’s often the quiet, everyday phrases—“I’m fine,” “It doesn’t bother me,” “I’m over it”—that do the most long-term damage.

In this episode of The Voyage Cast, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Eddie Eccker explores how small, self-protective lies quietly erode emotional intimacy and relational trust. These aren’t betrayals you read about in books—they’re the slow drips that wear down even strong connections.

With candid insight and a powerful satirical segment inspired by C.S. Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters, Eddie breaks down:

• The hidden cost of emotional dishonesty in marriage
• How hyper-individualism and unforgiveness distort intimacy
• Why the illusion of “endless options” sabotages commitment
• How to build truth-based relationships that actually last

This episode blends humor, theology, and practical advice, offering a call to action for couples who want more than survival in marriage—they want restoration.

Because real love doesn’t lie—it leans in.
