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.

Have you ever felt like you're still in your marriage—but your heart has quietly left the room? In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of what it means to quietly quit in marriage. From emotional detachment to silent resentment, we unpack the slow fade that can happen when hurt goes unspoken, needs go unmet, and hope begins to dim.

Whether you're the one quietly quitting—or wondering if your spouse is—we’re here to hold space, speak truth, and point you back toward connection, healing, and hope.

In this episode, we cover:

• What “quiet quitting” looks like in marriage (and how it shows up)
• Why wives and husbands often detach as a form of self-protection
• How resentment, exhaustion, and unmet expectations fuel disconnection
• How to take steps back to hope and reconnection

Submission. It’s one of the most misunderstood—and misused—words in Christian marriage.

Submission in marriage was never meant to silence, control, or strip a wife of her worth.

But somewhere along the way, the beauty of biblical submission got twisted.

If “submission” in your marriage feels more like fear than trust, more like control than love, you’re not alone. Too many wives have been told to endure manipulation in the name of obedience—but that’s NOT God’s design.

In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we’re unraveling the lies about submission and revealing what true, biblical submission looks like. Because God’s heart for marriage isn’t about control—it’s about love, respect, and mutual honor. 🙌

🎧 Listen now and discover:

✨ The difference between healthy and twisted submission

✨ Why submission doesn’t mean silence

✨ How to embrace God’s gift without losing yourself

In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we’re diving into the complex relationship between religious teaching, shame and sex.

God intended sex to be a beautiful gift for a husband and wife to enjoy in marriage. However, many of us grew up with unhelpful religious messages about purity, modesty, and what it means to be a "good" Christian in the area of sex. Too often those messages brought deep shame and left us disconnected from our bodies and our desires, often creating unnecessary pain and confusion in the marriage relationship.

Today, we’re untangling several of these unhelpful religious narratives and reclaiming a healthier perspective on intimacy.
