Episode 5 – Help Mate or Headache: Learning to Work With Your Spouse, Not Against Them

In this episode of the Pankey Promise Podcast, we’re keeping it real about one of marriage’s biggest tension points — what happens when your “help mate” starts feeling more like a headache.

Every couple faces moments where partnership turns into power struggles, support feels like stress, and communication gets lost in translation. But what if those frustrating seasons are really an opportunity to grow together instead of drifting apart?

Join us as we unpack what it truly means to be a help mate in marriage — God’s way. We’re talking about balancing roles, managing expectations, and learning how to see your spouse as your teammate, not your opponent.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The biblical meaning of a “help mate” (and how culture got it twisted)
• How frustration can reveal unmet needs, not failure
• The danger of comparison in marriage
• Practical ways to restore unity when you’re out of sync
• How to pray with your spouse instead of about your spouse

Whether you’ve been thinking, “We can’t seem to get on the same page,” or “I feel like I’m doing this alone,” — this conversation will help you reset, realign, and rediscover the power of partnership.
