I’m Trying So Hard to Get Things Right in My Marriage Part 5 – Why Does My Wife Still Panic… Even When I’m Doing Everything Right?


Listen Later

“Why does she still seem scared or upset—even when I’m finally trying to do things right?”
“Why does it feel like every step forward brings up more triggers, doubts, and emotional shutdowns?”

In Part 5 of “I’m Trying So Hard to Get Things Right in My Marriage,” we dive into one of the most disorienting realities for husbands:
When your effort increases—but so does her fear.

This episode tackles:

  • Why your wife may panic or shut down even when you’re calm, gentle, and spiritually grounded

  • How triggers, not logic, drive many of her reactions—and why that’s not your fault, but still your problem

  • The truth about “first dates” in marriage recovery—and why rebuilding trust means starting from the bottom

  • Why being “almost right” isn’t good enough—and how to lovingly try again without spinning out

  • How men can lead through emotional stalls by using spiritual clutch, brakes, and reflection

  • Why both of you need to track emotional RPMs to avoid burning out mid-conversation

Gentlemen, if you’ve ever asked yourself:
“How am I the problem again when I didn’t even mess up?”
This episode will reframe that confusion with clarity, empathy, and actionable growth tools.
