Why Christian Wives Feel Disconnected (and What No One's Saying About Sex) [ft Elyse Rooney] // 8

You love your husband. You love Jesus. So why do you feel so disconnected in your marriage? If you've ever rolled your eyes at the idea of intimacy because you're just too tired, too touched-out, or too overwhelmed—this episode is for YOU. The church may be silent on the subject, but we're not. It's time to pull back the curtain on what’s really going on behind closed doors—and why so many Christian wives are silently struggling.

💬 Episode Summary: In this raw and refreshing episode, Michelle Castro is joined by her Australian bestie and fellow faith-filled podcaster Elyse Rooney. Together, they unpack the emotional and spiritual distance so many Christian women feel in marriage—and how intimacy (or the lack of it) is often at the root. From navigating exhaustion and resentment to shifting your mindset from “I have to” to “I get to,” this is the conversation we all needed years ago.

The truth? You’re not broken—and your marriage isn’t doomed. There is hope, healing, and holy connection waiting for you... but it starts with ripping the bandaid off.
