Why Do I Feel Weak or Broken for Needing Support? Part 5 – When My Efforts Still Don’t Feel “Enough”


Listen Later

Is your wife overwhelmed, overstimulated, or emotionally drained—and even when you do try to help, it feels like you're still falling short?

In Part 5 of this raw and practical series, we dive into the hidden weight men often carry: the belief that needing support means you're not strong enough. That you should already have it figured out. That if your wife is struggling, it must be your fault—or your job to fix it.

In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why trying to “fix her feelings” often backfires

  • How shared vulnerability can create spiritual intimacy

  • Why your wife's struggles don’t mean you're failing

  • The difference between offering support and hijacking her growth

  • How true partnership means honoring her revelation—not replacing it

You'll also hear real experiences of women learning how to ask for support without handing over the steering wheel—and how their husbands showed up with empathy, not solutions.

This episode is for men feeling the pressure to be everything… and for couples learning that true intimacy comes through mutual discovery—not control.
