Forgiveness in marriage can be blocked by several powerful emotional and psychological barriers. Deep hurt, betrayal, and unresolved pain often create walls that are hard to tear down. Pride and ego can keep someone from admitting fault or extending grace. Holding onto anger or resentment can feel like self-protection, especially when trust has been broken. A lack of empathy or understanding for the other person's perspective makes forgiveness harder. Sometimes, the offense feels too great or repeated, making reconciliation seem impossible. Finally, fear of being hurt again can keep people stuck in cycles of bitterness, preventing the healing that forgiveness brings. In this episode I discuss the three steps needed for forgiveness in marriage to occur.

A sexless marriage can deeply affect a man’s emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. For many men, sexual intimacy is a primary way of expressing love and feeling connected to their partner. When that connection disappears, it can lead to feelings of rejection, inadequacy, and loneliness. Over time, this may erode his self-esteem and create emotional distance in the relationship. A lack of intimacy can also fuel frustration, irritability, or even resentment—especially if efforts to address the issue are met with resistance or silence. Some men may withdraw emotionally or seek validation elsewhere, which can further damage the marriage. Physically, the lack of sexual release may contribute to stress, tension, or sleep problems. While every individual and relationship is different, many men in sexless marriages report feeling more like roommates than lovers, longing not just for sex, but for the emotional closeness and affirmation that intimacy provides.

Fixing an unhappy marriage is possible if both partners are willing. The first step is to consider what's caused the drift in your marriage in the first place. Second, you must be willing to address your resentments because nothing will go well when there's active resentments. Third, you must nurture your friendship through emotional intimacy, dates, and affection. Fourth, you must re-integrate sensual and sexual time together to bond with one another physically. Finally, if you're unable to achieve these steps on your own reach out for professional help instead of suffering in silence.

Developing emotional safety in you relationship is essential. When we don't feel safe, we pull back, we build walls, we shut down. In contrast, when we feel emotionally safe, we open up. Think of emotional safety as the sun and you're a flower. The more sun you receive, the more your peddles open up naturally and vice versa. In this episode, I cover the top five ways to promote emotional safety in your relationship. Let me know which one would help your relationship the most.

An uneven workload can create a troubled marriage. An uneven workload creates emotional distance, and a sense of imbalance in the partnership. When one partner consistently bears more responsibilities—whether in parenting, household tasks, or emotional labor—it can lead to feelings of being undervalued and overwhelmed. The other partner may become complacent or unaware of the imbalance, further deepening the disconnect. Over time, this dynamic erodes trust and intimacy, as the relationship feels less like a team effort and more like a burden for one person. Mutual respect and shared effort are essential for a healthy, lasting marriage built on equality and support. So, to improve your troubled marriage, balance out the workload!

There are many tips to fight less with your partner. However, this is one you may not have heard of. It's called "sharing your tender underbelly." Anger is a secondary emotion. Therefore, what's underneath your anger is called the tender underbelly. Identifying what that is and sharing it instead of your anger can be a game changer. For starters, it's the core of what you're really feeling. Second, your partner is much more likely to respond with empathy when they hear it compared to when they feel your anger. Try it!

Saving your marriage begins with open, honest communication. Take time to really listen to your partner without interrupting or judging. Rebuild trust by being consistent, keeping promises, and showing appreciation for each other daily. Address conflicts calmly and respectfully—focus on resolving issues, not assigning blame. Prioritize quality time together: date nights, shared hobbies, or even simple daily check-ins can reignite intimacy. Practice forgiveness and patience; every relationship faces challenges, but how you respond to them makes the difference. Reflect on what brought you together in the first place, and focus on nurturing that bond. With effort, vulnerability, and mutual commitment, it’s possible to rebuild and even strengthen your relationship. Saving a marriage takes work, but the rewards of love and partnership are worth it. In this new episode, I discuss the top three ways to save your marriage.
