You’re lying in bed, staring at the ceiling, wondering how a love that felt so certain on your wedding day suddenly feels so heavy and confusing. You love your spouse, but the unmet expectations, hidden struggles, and exhausting silence are making you secretly whisper, Did I marry the wrong person?If the first year of your marriage feels less like a fairy tale and more like a battleground of unmet needs, intimacy hurdles, and communication breakdowns, you are not broken—and you are certainly not alone. Today, Pastor Mike Novotny joins us to tear down the neat, polished facade of young marriage. With staggering transparency, Mike shares his own raw journey through the painful "seven-year itch," an early addiction to pornography that distorted his expectations of intimacy, and the moment he and his wife found themselves sitting in a counselor’s office wondering how to bridge the gap between their different worlds. The breakthrough didn't come from pretending things were perfect; it came when they laid down their ammunition, stepped into radical humility, and allowed Jesus to become the third chord in their union. Whether you are dealing with difficult in-laws, financial stress, or a disappointing sex life, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe, stop performing, and let the grace of Christ rebuild your foundation.Matthew 19:6 > "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
