In this jaw-dropping episode of Build Your Happier Marriage, we explore the true story of a husband who had to fake his own death… because his wife hired a hitman.
Yes, really.
But the real shocker? The damage started long before the murder plot — and what this couple experienced is far more common than you might think.
As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Christian relationship coach, I’m breaking down the red flags that often go unnoticed in emotionally disconnected marriages — and how to turn things around before it's too late.
This episode isn’t about sensational headlines. It’s about helping you recognize the emotional warning signs that can silently destroy a marriage… even one that looks okay on the outside.
🎯 In This Episode, You'll Learn:
✅ The slow erosion of emotional connection — and how it turns spouses into strangers
✅ How neglect and misunderstanding can lead to dangerous resentment
✅ The one biblical mindset shift that can bring life back into a dying marriage
✅ Why waiting until it’s “bad enough” is often too late — and what to do instead
✅ Practical tools for reconnecting with your entrepreneurial husband — even if he seems distant or distracted
📖 Bible Verses Mentioned:
- Proverbs 14:1 – “The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.”
- Proverbs 4:7 – “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
- Hebrews 13:4 – “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure…”

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
