Did you know that 41% of first marriages and 60% of second marriages end in divorce? And even higher numbers are reportedly completely dissatisfied in their marriages.
In today's episode, I'm diving into the four silent killers that quietly lead couples toward disconnection, resentment, and ultimately divorce. These issues show up in nearly every modern marriage, Christian or non, and they often go unnoticed until the relationship feels distant or broken.
You can only live like ships passing in the night until something inevitably breaks.
My prayer is that this conversation gives you the clarity, conviction, and practical encouragement you need to build a healthier, more connected, and more Christ‑centered marriage — one that resists emotional disconnection, strengthens communication, and protects your relationship from drifting toward divorce.
If you've ever enjoyed The Living Easy Podcast, my Instagram posts, or my blog… the single most supportive thing you can do is to preorder Don't Burn Your Own House Down! It means the world to me, and it allows me to continue creating content that serves marriages and families with honesty, faith, and practical wisdom. THANK YOU!
