October 28, 2025 The Top 7 Things That Cause Disconnection in Your Marriage
Have you ever looked at your spouse and thought, “How did we get here?”
You’re in the same house, but it feels like you’re miles apart. You reconnect for a moment only to have it fall apart all over again. Chronic disconnection is incredibly painful. The spark is gone. Conversations feel forced. You wonder if you'll ever feel close again.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the top 7 things that cause disconnection in marriage.

From emotional shutdowns to hidden resentment, from unspoken expectations to unhelpful thought patterns, these erode connection until it feels like you’re just roommates instead of soulmates.

If your heart feels distant but you still long to reconnect, this episode will help you understand what’s been ruining the closeness.

October 21, 2025 When You Don't Like Your Spouse
What do you do when you realize you just don’t like your spouse right now?
You still love them. You’re still committed. It's just that what they say and do rubs you the wrong way. You feel disconnected, irritated, maybe even repulsed. You’ve prayed, you’ve tried to fix it, or ignore it, but the feeling lingers.
Every marriage experiences times and even seasons where the dislike settles in. This episode will give you some insight into what's going on under the surface and how to heal and reconnect again.

October 14, 2025 Has Your Spouse Become an Idol?
You're bending over backwards trying to "keep the peace" “do whatever it takes to make her happy,” or "trying to beg or control him so he gives you the love you crave."
But when your sense of worth, peace, or identity rises and falls based on your spouse’s emotions or approval, you’ve crossed from love into idolatry. You're trying to fill a need or a hole that only God can truly fill.
In this episode we talk through how you can identify this dynamic, move out of it and stay focused on the only relationship that can truly satisfy.

September 09, 2025 Boundaries Are Biblical
Have you ever felt like the more you give in your marriage, the less you’re respected or valued?
Maybe you’ve been told that being a "good husband" or “good wife” means saying yes no matter what, sacrificing your needs, and keeping the peace at all costs. But instead of creating connection, it’s left you drained and resentful.
In this episode, we tackle the lie that boundaries are unloving or unbiblical. The truth? God designed boundaries. They’re not about pushing your spouse away, they’re about protecting what matters, honoring God, and creating safety so love can actually grow.
