The Danger of Taking Offense
from The Unbreakable Marriages Podcast Hosted by Eric & Shannon Park
Every marriage gets hurt. The question is what you do next. In this episode of The Unbreakable Marriage, Eric and Shannon take on one of the quietest marriage-breakers of all: taking offense. Shannon shares how a single critical comment during her former husband's cancer journey hooked her so deeply that she walked away from something she loved, and Eric admits that when he’s offended, he’s at his “optimal level of selfishness.” Together they unpack a freeing truth: being hurt is unavoidable when you love someone unconditionally, but offense is the bait the enemy dangles to divide you, and the closer the relationship, the more dangerous that bait becomes. Whether you’re newlyweds, in the busy middle years, or rediscovering each other in an empty nest, this conversation will help you recognize the hook before you bite and choose the abundant life Jesus promised. Grab your spouse, press play, and listen together. Scripture References: Proverbs 18:19, John 10:10
