I’m Trying So Hard to Get Things Right in My Marriage Part 4 – Why Does She Keep Hurting When I’m the One Fixing Myself?


Listen Later

“Why does it feel like the more I heal, the more she still hurts?”
“Why does my wife seem overwhelmed, doubtful, or even distant—right when I’m finally trying to get everything right?”

In Part 4 of “I’m Trying So Hard to Get Things Right in My Marriage”, we tackle the invisible but excruciating disconnect between personal growth and relational pain.

This episode explores:

  • Why your wife might still feel emotionally unsafe—even when you’re doing the work

  • The surprising ways “trying to fix yourself” can leave her feeling more alone

  • Why reflection, writing, and spiritual planning matter more than charisma or checklists

  • How real presiding, providing, and protecting require emotional and psychological strength—not just physical effort

  • Why true intimacy begins with building a “greenhouse” of personal growth before inviting her inside

Gentlemen, if you’ve ever wondered,
“Why does she still seem so distant when I’m doing my best?”
...this episode is for you.

You’ll discover why her reactions aren’t proof you’re failing—but signs of just how important your role actually is.
