    What happens when the smiling couple on social media closes the front door? Behind the curated photos and perfect captions, many marriages are crumbling under the weight of fake happiness.

We unpack why couples fake happiness, fear of conflict, social pressure, guilt and reveal the subtle signs you might be faking it without even realizing.

  • Stop Mothering Your Man: Why Your ‘Help’ Is Killing the Romance
    Jun 24 2025

    Send us a text

    Could your good intentions be breaking your marriage?
    What if your attempts to guide, correct, or "support" your husband are slowly suffocating your intimacy and turning your partner into a project?

    In this bold, eye-opening episode, Matthew and Monica Powers dive headfirst into one of the most destructive, but often ignored, dynamics in marriage: the mothering of husbands by their wives. These aren’t malicious actions. They’re subtle, daily habits: redoing the dishwasher after he loads it, correcting him mid-sentence in public, or taking over because “it’s just easier.” But over time, they erode trust, kill sexual energy, and leave both spouses feeling misunderstood and disconnected.

    Through genuine conversation, biblical truth, and real relationship stories, this episode unpacks:

    • Why micromanagement is the enemy of intimacy
    • How men process respect (and what happens when it’s missing)
    • Why women often feel they’re the “only responsible adult”
    • How these patterns make husbands retreat and wives resentful
    • What a true partnership looks like when respect and responsibility are rebalanced

    You’ll walk away with practical tools, not just feel-good advice:
    ✅ Reframe control into collaboration
    ✅ Ask empowering questions like “How would you handle this?”
    ✅ Embrace the courage to let your spouse fail
    ✅ Take on the 7-Day No-Correction Challenge and watch what happens

    And then, the ultimate test:
    Ask your husband this brave question, “Do you feel like I trust you?”
    His answer could open the door to a level of honesty and intimacy you’ve never had before.

    This is not another episode of cliché marriage tips. This is expert talk for couples ready to face real problems with love, humility, and God's power. Whether you’re just married, deep into your journey, or somewhere in between, this conversation is packed with life lessons, laughter, and transformational truth.

    🎧 Tune in now to discover how to turn your marriage from a list of tasks into a life-giving partnership built on mutual trust, respect, and romance.
