Stop Reacting and Start Responding (How to Take Control of Your Emotions in Marriage): Episode 406


Listen Later

You want to feel peace, love, and connection—especially in your marriage. But when something disrupts that inner calm, it’s easy to slip into old patterns: snapping, shutting down, blaming.

Sound familiar?

This episode is about how to stop being emotionally reactive—and start responding in a way that brings clarity, compassion, and connection (even in the tough moments).

🎧 What You’ll learn:

  • Why controlling your partner won’t regulate your emotions

  • How to take ownership without bypassing what you feel

  • A 5-step process to go from reactive to responsive

  • How to repair when you do mess up (because we all do)

If you’ve ever said, “I don’t want to keep reacting like this…”—this is the conversation that will help you shift.
