AUDIO PODCAST

If you’re feeling trapped in a cycle of uncertainty and frustration, constantly second-guessing your choices and relying solely on your ever-changing emotions to make decisions, then you are not alone! Many individuals in committed relationships struggle to achieve the result they desire because they are not recognizing the unreliability of their feelings as a sole determinant of actions.

In this episode, you will be able to:

Delve deep into understanding the significance of acknowledging emotions in a marriage.

Analyze the impact and possible pitfalls of the commonly circulated advice advocating separation due to perceived dissatisfaction.

Learn why relying solely on emotions for decision-making can be misleading.

Understand the art of being unyielding and consistent when dealing with marital challenges.

Recognize the need for active endeavors towards building a joyful matrimonial bond.

Quotes from this episode:

“Don’t let your feelings be an excuse to avoid putting in the work. Happiness in marriage requires effort, grit, and a dedication to the commitment you made.”

“Feelings are a terrible indicator of discernment. They may come and go, but your actions, rooted in commitment and love, can shape the future of your marriage. ”

“Your commitment in marriage is a covenant by blood that you do not break, and it’s not God’s heart to break marriages. Don’t let fleeting feelings determine your decision to leave. ‘
