Have you ever felt unloved in marriage? Even when your spouse says that they love you? In today’s interview on the Christian Habits Podcast, I talk with bestselling author Dr. Emerson Eggerichs (author of Love and Respect) about why so many couples feel disconnected—even when they both care deeply about each other.
We discuss:
- Why you can feel unloved even when your spouse has goodwill
- The difference between being wrong vs. just different
- The common criticism–withdrawal pattern in marriage
- How men and women often respond differently in conflict
- The 15-minute rule that can help you reconnect
- How to approach difficult conversations in a healthier way
One of the most freeing ideas from this conversation is that many marriage struggles aren’t about one person being wrong—but about seeing things differently and learning how to navigate those differences with wisdom and grace.
If you want a more peaceful, connected relationship, this conversation will give you practical tools and a fresh perspective.
