Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher

Why Does My Wife Keep Pulling Away—And Why Doesn’t My Husband Seem to Notice?


Listen Later

Wives often feel like they’re constantly signaling their frustration, setting boundaries, or even withdrawing—only to be met with confusion or indifference. Meanwhile, husbands wonder why their wives always seem upset and why they’re expected to figure things out without clear instructions.

In this episode, we break down:
✔️ Why women instinctively withdraw when they feel unheard—and why men often don’t notice until it’s too late.
✔️ The power of silent signals—why words aren’t always the best way to communicate.
✔️ What it really means for a husband to step up instead of waiting for his wife to make the first move.
✔️ The Man in the Mountain vs. Pioneer Woman Mode—how men and women receive guidance differently.
✔️ How a man’s relationship with God directly affects his ability to lead and connect with his wife.

If you’ve ever thought “Why doesn’t he notice when I pull away?” or “Why does she expect me to read her mind?”—this episode is for you.
