This episode continues to be our most listened-to conversation, so we're bringing it back for those who missed it, and those who need a refresh.
What do you do when you're not attracted to your spouse anymore?
If the attraction isn't there, does it mean it's over?
In this episode, we’re unmasking what’s really underneath the loss of attraction in marriage and why it’s not just about physical appearance or effort. We explore how rebuilding attraction is less about trying harder and more about healing what's underneath and we give some practical ways to start getting that attraction back again.

January 06 Pursuing Pleasure Can Change Everything in Marriage
Marriage isn't just to "make you holy." It's also designed for pleasure. Too often, marriage becomes about responsibilities, routines, and keeping peace rather than cultivating joy. We learn to manage pain but when do we intentionally pursue pleasure?
In this episode, discover why pursuing pleasure isn’t optional; it’s a vital ingredient in building a marriage that lasts.
If your marriage feels more like a partnership than a passion, or if you’ve ever wondered where the spark went, this episode will change how you see it all.
So lean in, because pursuing pleasure might just be the most transformative thing you do for your marriage.

December 30, 2025 When You Don't Want to Touch Each Other
What happens when physical closeness no longer feels natural or even welcome? When hugs feel forced. Kisses fade. And the space between you grows quieter and heavier than either of you ever expected?
In this episode, we talk honestly about what it’s like when a couple drifts out of physical connection, not with shame or blame, but with compassion for both hearts involved.
For wives, it may feel like pressure, overwhelm, or exhaustion have slowly stolen affection.
For husbands, it may feel like rejection, loneliness, or confusion about why things changed.
And often both of you are hurting in silence.
This conversation is about healing the space between you — learning to understand each other’s hearts, restoring trust, and rediscovering what it means to enjoy being close again.

December 23, 2025 How to Overcome a Victim Mindset in Marriage
"I'm blamed for everything." "Nothing I ever do is good enough." "I'm the only one trying."
When marriage gets painful it feels like survival mode and the thoughts and stories we repeat in our heads can cause us to feel stuck and hopeless. In this episode we identify a common problem in hurting marriages: The victim mindset.
We unpack how victim thinking subtly steals power, intimacy and responsibility from both spouses and why healing doesn't begin with assigning blame, but with reclaiming your own power and we give some practical ways to do just that.
If your marriage feels heavy, tense, or stuck in the same cycles, this conversation may be the turning point you didn't know you needed.

December 16, 2025 What's Normal and What's a Red Flag in Marriage?
Every marriage has tension. Every couple has conflict. But many couples wonder is this "normal" or a "red flag?"
In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we talk honestly about the difference between normal marital challenges and true red flags that need immediate attention.
If you feel confused about how serious your marriage struggles really are, this episode will help you slow down, gain perspective, and respond with truth, courage, and hope. Even having "red flag" struggles in marriage doesn't necessarily mean your marriage is beyond hope.
This conversation is about getting discernment and going after growth, not blame.

December 09, 2025 5 Things Women Need from Their Husbands
Many wives carry a quiet ache in their marriage over needs that go unmet and hopes that go unrealized. And many husbands want to love their wives well and meet those needs, but feel confused, overwhelmed, or discouraged trying to do just that.
In this episode, we’re unmasking five core needs wives have that often go unmet not because a man doesn’t care, but because he may not see the deeper layer beneath her emotions, her reactions, or her silence.
This conversation is for women who feel unseen, unheard, or emotionally alone, and it’s equally for men who genuinely want to understand their wives, strengthen their marriage, and show up with more intention and direction in the relationship.
