Episode #44: A Marriage Is Not About ‘I’—But ‘We’


Listen Later

What if your marriage isn’t broken… it’s just out of sync with design?

In today’s episode, I share a heartfelt message about the trap of hyper-independence and how it can quietly erode connection in a relationship. Drawing from personal experience and client stories, I invite you to shift from “I” thinking to the sacred strength of “We.”

You’ll hear:

✅ Why sameness isn’t the goal—and how God-ordained difference creates true intimacy

✅ How independence can subtly crowd out partnership in marriage

✅ The cost of keeping score—and what happens when we stop

✅ What it means to give from your strengths instead of your exhaustion

✅ How to return to spiritual synergy in your relationship

If your relationship feels more like a business partnership than a sacred bond, this episode is for you. 

You’re not alone—and you’re not failing. You're being invited to rediscover the beauty of complementarity and the quiet power of choosing each other again.

✨ Because lasting love isn’t found in perfection—it’s found in offering your strength, your softness, and your willingness to grow, together.
