In today’s episode of The Mustard Seed Marriage Podcast, Brittanie tackles a growing issue she sees every week in the counseling room—and one many wives are quietly carrying: the rise of male passivity in Christian marriages. From emotional disconnection to leaving the mental, spiritual, financial, and parenting load to wives, this trend is leaving families exhausted and marriages strained.

But this isn’t a husband-bashing episode. It’s a loving, biblical wake-up call—rooted in truth, compassion, and God’s design for the covenant of marriage. Brittanie speaks directly to husbands with encouragement, clarity, and action steps for stepping back into the role God entrusted to them. And she offers wisdom for wives who feel alone in the partnership, including practical shifts to protect their hearts, communicate effectively, and invite healthy leadership.

This episode is bold, needed, and filled with hope. Whether you’re a husband feeling that nudge to rise up or a wife feeling the weight of doing life alone, there is a path forward—and it starts with faith the size of a mustard seed.
