Easy Biblical Marriage

The Surprising Power of “I Can’t” in Marriage


Listen Later

Sometimes the strongest thing you can say in your marriage is “I can’t.”

Not as an excuse. Not as a cop-out. But as an act of vulnerability—the kind that softens your heart, invites connection, and actually strengthens intimacy.

In this episode of the Easy Biblical Marriage Podcast, I share:

  • Why “I can’t” is more powerful than ultimatums or control tactics

  • Real examples of how I used this phrase in marriage, from house buying to finances

  • How to recognize resentment early and use vulnerability to reset before it explodes

  • Why true intimacy only grows to the degree you allow yourself to be vulnerable

We’ll also celebrate some of the fun and creative ideas women in our community came up with during our “daily fun challenge.” (Think: goofy dances with kids, candlelight reading, and even attending coaching calls from the truck in the driveway!)

If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, burnout, or resentment in your marriage, this conversation will give you a fresh, biblical perspective—and a simple phrase you can start using today.
