Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognized who you’ve become in your marriage?

In this honest and heartfelt episode, we explore the subtle—and sometimes silent—ways spouses can lose themselves in a relationship. Inspired by a deeply moving story (see post), we unpack how one partner’s quiet disapproval or insecurity can slowly erase the light, fire, and uniqueness of the other.

We talk real about what happens when one spouse feels threatened by the other’s gifts and purpose—and how that insecurity can show up in passive control, shame, or silence. You’ll hear us wrestle with tough questions like:

• Is your spouse flourishing or fading?

• Are you building a home or a cage?

• How do you manage a strong and energetic spouse/partner in marriage without feeling threatened? 

This episode is not just for couples in crisis—it’s for any married couple who wants to stay intentional, avoid emotional erosion, and build a marriage where both people can thrive.

 Let’s talk about the cost of peace, the power of presence, and how not to lose “you” in the name of love.
