Marriage doesn’t fix loneliness—and a ring won’t heal unaddressed wounds. In this eye-opening episode, Keshia Rice breaks down what no one talks about when it comes to long-term commitment: the silent epidemic of unhappily married women.

Keisha shares real-life insight from decades of church community, family counseling, and her own experience as a wife and coach. Whether you’re single and serious about marriage or already dating with purpose, this episode is your pre-marital check-in—with love, truth, and no sugarcoating.

Inside this episode:

• What growing up seeing long-term marriages fall apart taught Keshia about discernment

• How women accidentally settle out of fear and call it "faith"

• Why knowing and loving yourself first is non-negotiable

• How to spiritually and emotionally vet a man (because "he goes to church" isn’t enough)

• The hard truth about discipline, self-worth, and what you bring to the relationship

• Why your marriage will mirror what you haven’t healed

You’ll walk away with:

• A mindset reset on what really makes a marriage last

• Journal prompts to check your heart before you check the "wife" box

• Permission to wait well—and protect your peace at all costs

• Steps to build a life that’s already full before love arrives
