Ep 80. I Don't Like My Husband, Now What? How To Overcome Negative Feelings That Feel So Real

Ever catch yourself thinking, “I don’t even like my husband right now” and feel instant guilt or confusion? Wondering what’s underneath those feelings and what God wants to do with them? You’re not alone—and this episode is for you.   In this episode, I share a deeply personal story from my own marriage and walk you through how emotional triggers, past wounds, and unhealed trauma can distort the way we see our husbands—and even ourselves. I also unpack a recent conversation I had with a private client who was brave enough to admit what many women feel but don’t say. You'll hear what it looks like to lean in instead of escape, process your pain with God, and give Him room to fight for your marriage.   Listen in to learn how to process those raw, unfiltered emotions with God, stop letting your feelings run the show, and begin seeing your husband—and your marriage—through a healed heart and God's eyes.   "Your feelings may be loud, but they don’t have the final say—God does." ~Miranda Wendler   Top Takeaways Feeling like you don’t like your husband doesn’t mean something is wrong with you—it means something deeper needs healing.
