FMP 253: Can Your Spouse Tell You the Truth?


Listen Later

Can your spouse tell you anything, without fear of defensiveness, dismissal, or drama?

In episode 253 of the Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra tackle a powerful questions every couple needs to ask: "Am I safe to speak to?" Using 1 Samuel 25:17 as a launching point, they explore what happens when pride replaces humility in marriage, and how it damages connection, trust, and communication.

"One cannot speak to him..." That's how the Bible describes Nabal, a man so prideful and closed off that no one could reason with him. Could your spouse ever feel the same about you?

You'll learn:

  • How defensiveness shuts down emotional intimacy.
  • What makes a marriage safe for honesty and feedback.
  • The difference between listening and truly receiving.
  • How to practice humility even when you think you're right.
  • Why biblical leadership includes the ability to be corrected.

If you want deeper connection and mutual respect in your marriage, this episode will help you turn the volume up on love, and down on pride.
