When love turns into obligation, resentment isn’t far behind.

In this episode of The ‘NEW’ Marriage, Cass and Kathryn Morrow break down how resentment quietly builds when spouses feel obligated instead of connected — and why most couples blame the wrong things when their marriage starts to decay.

This conversation challenges common narratives around:

  • Labeling your partner as a narcissist
  • Misunderstanding submission and leadership
  • Confusing obligation with burden
  • Why resentment is usually enabled, not inflicted
  • How unspoken permission creates long-term bitterness


You’ll learn:

  • Why obligation is part of marriage — but resentment is optional
  • How resentment turns into contempt and emotional shutdown
  • The hidden role of leadership in recurring resentment
  • Why labeling your spouse blocks growth and responsibility
  • How unmet expectations and enabled behavior poison intimacy
  • The difference between triggers and cognitive distortions
  • How to reverse resentment even after decades of buildup


If you feel trapped, obligated, bitter, or emotionally disconnected in your marriage — this episode will confront what you’ve been avoiding and show you where real responsibility (and power) actually lives.
