Have you ever caught yourself waiting for your husband to go first, to start the conversation, plan the date, or fix the tension that’s been building?

If you’re honest, maybe you’ve both been waiting… and your marriage has slipped into what I call the roommate cycle.

In Part 2 of the Marriage in the Margins series, we’re talking about what it looks like to break that cycle by choosing to go first, not out of frustration, but out of grace.

Because someone has to take the first step toward connection, and maybe that someone is you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How resentment keeps couples stuck waiting for each other

What “going first” looks like spiritually, physically, emotionally, and practically

How to ask for help and communicate needs without nagging

Why going first doesn’t mean doing everything, it means leading with maturity

A mindset shift to move from resentment to reconnection
