Episode #38: The 7 Deadly Sins That Are Hurting Your Marriage (And How to Fix Them)


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a framework that has stood the test of time—the 7 deadly sins—and how they show up in our marriages in ways we don’t even realize. We often think of marriage as a place of love and companionship, but the truth is, it’s also one of life’s greatest teachers of virtue.

What if the arguments, resentment, and emotional distance in your relationship aren’t just problems—but opportunities? Opportunities to practice patience, humility, and kindness instead of pride, anger, and envy.

I’ll walk you through:

✅ Why pride makes you fight to "win"—and why that’s ruining your relationship

✅ The hidden ways envy and greed can creep into your marriage (without you noticing)

✅ How anger starts as a flicker but can burn everything down if unchecked

✅ Why lust and emotional comparison are more dangerous than you think

✅ The simple mindset shifts that replace vice with virtue—and create a marriage that actually lasts

Your marriage isn’t supposed to be perfect—but it is supposed to refine you. Tune in for a conversation that just might change the way you love, communicate, and show up for your partner.
