Struggling with unforgiveness in your marriage? In this in-depth video, we unpack a real-life story from my free community about a husband caught in a common relationship mistake that spiraled into a major conflict. After receiving “accidental” text messages from a woman—the husband engaged in friendly, non-sexual conversations. His wife claims this is an emotional affair...but is it?

Complicating matters, their marriage has been sexless for years, long before this incident. The husband is frustrated, feeling trapped in a cycle of guilt and unforgiveness, and reached out asking, “What can I do?” In this video, I analyze the situation, exploring why the wife may be holding onto this incident as a potential excuse to avoid intimacy. Is her refusal to forgive rooted in genuine hurt, or is it a way to maintain control in a marriage where she’s already disengaged?

With limited backstory, I share my perspective: the husband’s actions were unwise, but labeling this an emotional affair may be an overreach. I also provide actionable advice for the husband: take responsibility for your actions, stop the behavior, seek forgiveness sincerely, and set clear boundaries.

But what happens when your spouse won’t forgive? I explore why unforgiveness in marriage—manifested through silent treatment, withholding intimacy, or sleeping separately—can become a form of punishment, and how to address it head-on.

For couples facing similar challenges, I offer practical steps to rebuild trust, emphasizing that both partners must show up with humility and grace to move forward. If forgiveness isn’t possible, tough decisions—like issuing an ultimatum or considering separation—may be necessary to avoid living in perpetual conflict. Join me as we navigate the complexities of mistakes, trust, and forgiveness in relationships, and learn how to protect your marriage from external traps and internal strife.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
