In this episode, we’re tackling a subtle but serious issue in marriage: isolation.

What happens when your spouse becomes your only source of connection?
Spoiler: it doesn’t lead to thriving.

We talk about:

• Why consistent, same-gender friendships are crucial—especially for accountability, encouragement, and emotional health
• How couples slowly drift into “island mode” without realizing it
• The specific ways isolation often impacts men vs. women
• Why expecting your spouse to meet all your relational needs (outside of Jesus) is too heavy—and how to shift that dynamic

If you’ve been feeling disconnected or overly dependent on your spouse for all of your emotional or spiritual needs, this episode is your invitation to make a gentle, healthy change.
