Why Your Marriage Feels Disconnected and How Jesus Changes the Way You Love and See Your Spouse

What if the tension in your marriage isn’t about the issue… but how you’re seeing each other?In this conversation with Emerson Eggerichs, we get into the patterns that quietly break connection and what actually rebuilds it. You’ll hear why so many couples get stuck in cycles of frustration, miscommunication, and feeling unseen and how to shift out of it.We talk about the core dynamic of love and respect, and why missing one often leads to conflict that feels personal, even when it’s not. This episode challenges the idea that your spouse is the problem and instead helps you look at what’s really driving the disconnect.If your marriage feels strained, repetitive, or just not as close as it used to be, this will help you reset your perspective, communicate with more clarity, and reconnect in a way that aligns with your faith.TakeawaysMost marriage conflict is not about the issue. It is about feeling unloved or disrespected.Assuming negative intent fuels disconnection faster than the problem itself.Healthy communication starts with understanding, not proving your point.Focusing only on what’s wrong trains your mind to miss what’s good.Love and respect are not optional. When one is missing, tension grows.Conflict can strengthen your marriage if you stop trying to win and start trying to understand.A Christ-centered mindset changes how you respond, not just what you say.Connect with Dr. Eggerichs at LoveandRespect.comGrab the Rewire Your Mind: From Negativity to Joy- download here.Grab the Joy Rising- Daily Gratitude & Joy Journal here.Download My Free Joyful Living Devotional: https://kristinfitch.com/devotionalReady to take your first step towards a more joyful, faith-filled life?
