Feeling Empty? Are You Asking for the Right Thing?

from Doing Marriage Well · host paulb5d

In this episode Paul explores why you can feel empty in marriage even when your spouse seems to be giving—because you may be asking for the wrong thing (for example, love versus respect), using your partner to numb past hurts, or trying to make up for what you lacked growing up. Misunderstood requests and unmet inner needs often cause ongoing frustration. Paul urges prayerful self-examination, clear communication about what you truly need, healing past wounds so you can receive your spouse’s love, and seeking third-party help when needed.
