Ep 41 Struggling To Communicate in an Alcoholic Marriage? ONE Boundary You Can Set Today


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself drawn into a heated or emotional conversation with your husband after he’s been drinking—only to regret it the next day when he doesn’t remember, denies it happened, or twists your words? In this episode of Wife on the Rocks, we’ll talk about why refusing to engage in conversation when alcohol is involved is not cold or controlling—it’s wise, protective, and biblical. Learn about the ONE boundary that I had to set in our home when addiction was taking over everything! Come along on this journey where co-dependency develops boundaries to deal with alcoholism in a way that can protect in the hard moments of gaslighting and conversations that spiral quickly!

You’ll learn:

  • Why alcohol changes how people hear and process words.

  • The logic behind disengaging (you wouldn’t debate with someone who’s not in their right mind).

  • Why engaging feels like betraying yourself—and how to stop.

  • What to do instead of arguing or trying to reason.

  • How faith and boundaries can coexist without shame or guilt.

  • If you’ve ever felt stuck between silence and chaos, desiring to have a close relationship rooted in healthy communication, but instead wind up in an argument that goes nowhere, this episode will help you choose peace—and know that walking away doesn’t mean giving up. It is an essential boundary at times to protect your heart.
