Why Many Marriages Fail: The Burden Marriage Was Never Designed to Carry by Apostle Joshua Selman

Marriage is not designed to carry the weight of everything a person has failed to resolve within themselves.In this episode, Apostle Joshua Selman examines why many marriages struggle and how unrealistic expectations can place an unnecessary burden on the union. He explains that a spouse cannot replace personal healing, spiritual growth, purpose, or emotional wholeness.The conversation explores the danger of entering marriage with unresolved wounds, low self-esteem, anger, past relationship trauma, and the expectation that a partner will provide what only personal growth and a relationship with God can supply.Apostle Selman also addresses the effect of unequal growth between spouses, the importance of intentionally investing in one another, and how poor communication, wrong timing, unforgiveness, and accumulated bitterness can gradually create distance within a home.At its heart, this episode is a call to understand marriage as a partnership between two people who are committed to becoming whole, growing together, communicating wisely, and taking responsibility for their own development.
