You're the One Holding the Marriage Together

If you’re the one initiating the conversations, doing the emotional work, and trying to keep the marriage from unraveling, this episode is for you.

In today’s honest and compassionate conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really means to be the one holding the marriage together and the silent toll it takes on your heart, your body, and your relationship.

We’re diving deep into:

- Why so many wives shift into masculine energy just to survive

- How resentment builds when you're in protector mode

- The real reason you feel numb, over-responsible, and alone

- How to begin releasing the weight without letting everything fall apart

If you’ve been strong for too long, this episode will remind you: You were never meant to carry it all.

In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we’re asking a vital question: Where is your marriage headed?
Without a clear vision, it's easy for marriage to drift — pulled by busy schedules, distractions, and unspoken disappointments. But a thriving marriage doesn't happen by accident. It happens on purpose.

Today, we’ll walk you through:

• Why having a vision for your marriage matters more than you think.
• Simple questions to help you start dreaming together again, even if things feel tense or distant right now.

If you’ve ever wondered if there’s more for your marriage — more connection, more joy, more direction— this conversation is for you. Let's chart a course toward the marriage you both want, one intentional choice at a time.
