The Grace Marriage Podcast

Your Spouse's Hidden Fear (That You Don’t Even See)


Listen Later

What if your spouse carries hidden fears you’ve never even noticed (and have been bumping into them without realizing it)? In this powerful conversation, Brad Rhoads sits down with bestselling authors and researchers Jeff and Shaunti Feldhahn (For Women Only, For Men Only) to uncover surprising truths about the inner lives of men and women.

You’ll hear how their journey from law and Wall Street into marriage research began, why generalizations about men and women still matter, and how simple shifts in how you phrase a question can radically change connection and intimacy. This episode offers practical insights that will open your eyes to unseen struggles in your spouse and equip you to love with deeper grace.

Don’t miss this one—it could be the breakthrough your marriage needs.

🔑 KEY IDEAS:
• Why many men secretly struggle with self-doubt despite appearing confident
• The core insecurity most women carry in marriage—and how husbands can respond with love
• How small changes in phrasing can avoid hitting your spouse’s “raw nerve”
• Why happy couples learn to stop letting bad moods dominate the home
• The difference between perception and judgment in communication
• How grace-filled responses prevent defensiveness and deepen intimacy

KEY VERSES:
📖 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”
📖  Genesis 4:7 – “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”
