🎙️ When Appreciation Is the Love Language: A Real Moment in Marriage

Welcome to another heart-to-heart episode of Marital Inspirations with Montoya.

In this transparent and unscripted moment, I share a recent obstacle my husband and I faced—one that reminded me how easily we can miss the emotional needs of the ones we love most. Even in a home built on love and teamwork, we are two imperfect people navigating life, faith, and purpose together—and that means learning how to read between the lines and respond with grace.

In this episode, I open up about:

• A real-time disagreement with my husband over feeling appreciated
• How my entrepreneurial drive unknowingly pulled me out of alignment with his emotional needs
• What I learned about being attentive in marriage, even when instructions seem clear
• Why tuning into your spouse’s heart matters more than simply following their words
• How to avoid allowing your long-life purpose to compete with your long-life partnership

💬 Quote to remember:
“Sometimes their yeses really mean no… Sometimes, they’re not asking for help—they’re asking to be seen.”

This episode is for every woman juggling vision and marriage, passion and partnership. May this story remind you to pause, tune in, and recognize your partner’s needs—even when they don’t say them out loud.
