Episode notes

In this episode, I share what happened when the honeymoon phase in my marriage faded and anger, hurt, and miscommunication started to surface again. After turning back toward God and focusing on being a better wife, we had a beautiful season of growth, but then real conflict exposed how much old emotions and unprocessed hurts were still underneath.

I talk about the ways pride, blame, fear, and emotional shutdown can damage marriage, and how easy it is to fight each other instead of facing the problem together. This episode also covers practical, biblical steps for handling anger God’s way: taking responsibility, praying for self-control, processing past hurts, and communicating feelings in a respectful way.

If you’ve ever felt angry, misunderstood, or stuck in conflict in your marriage, this episode is for you. My hope is that it will be eye-opening, convicting, and freeing as you learn how to respond with more peace, honesty, and self-control.
