Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

Why Can’t She Feel Safe? Why Can’t He Understand? Navigating Marriage Fears and Frustrations


Listen Later

In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, we explore one of the most common struggles in marriage—why wives feel unsafe, unheard, and frustrated, and why husbands feel like no matter what they do, it's never enough.

Using real-life experiences and insights from marriage repair workshops, we discuss how men and women process fear, safety, and emotional security differently. Why does she seem anxious or upset even when he thinks everything is fine? Why does he feel defensive when she expresses her concerns? And how can couples bridge this painful gap without falling into frustration, blame, or withdrawal?

We'll also break down key relationship strategies, including:

  • The emotional weight of a woman’s need for security and connection.
  • Why men often misinterpret her fears as criticism or manipulation.
  • Recognizing the “satanic death spiral” of miscommunication before it leads to deeper disconnect.
  • How both partners can learn to navigate triggers, trust, and emotional rebuilding.

Join us as we break down the cycle of fear, frustration, and misunderstanding—and explore how couples can rebuild trust, safety, and connection, even after painful breakdowns.
