I’m Trying So Hard to Get Things Right in My Marriage Part 3 – Why Doesn’t She Trust Me, Even When I Finally Open Up?


Listen Later

"Why does it feel like every time I open up, I just make it worse?"
"Why is my wife still hurt—even when I'm trying harder than ever?"

In Part 3 of “I’m Trying So Hard to Get Things Right in My Marriage,” we tackle a brutally honest reality:

Your growth may be real.
Your repentance may be sincere.
But if your process of healing is invisible, your wife might feel more afraid… not less.

This episode dives into:

  • Why some wives mistrust emotional updates (even when they’re genuine)

  • The silent damage caused by “unfinished black box reviews”

  • What happens when you share too much, too soon—before your plane is ready to fly

  • How to talk about your growth without triggering her trauma

  • Why spiritual leadership starts with documented effort, not just heartfelt words

  • The vital importance of daily DARs, reflection rituals, and clear identity statements

If your wife says things like:
❌ “You’re just saying what you think I want to hear.”
❌ “This doesn’t feel real.”
❌ “You’re going too fast.”
…this episode is for you.

Learn why the right words at the wrong time can destroy trust—and what to do instead.
