She has a good man.
Three beautiful kids.
A home, a stable life… even a planned vow renewal trip.
So why is she emotionally preparing for divorce?
In this eye-opening episode, Kingsley Grant—Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Christian Relationship Coach, and author of The Joyful Wife—dives into the unseen emotional and spiritual disconnect many wives feel in seemingly “good” marriages.
Using raw insights from a trending video clip, we uncover the hidden identity struggles, unmet expectations, and emotional discontent that quietly pull Christian wives away from their marriages—even when nothing is obviously “wrong.”
🎧 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
- Why emotional emptiness doesn’t always mean your husband is the problem
- The real reason some wives want to leave — even when they still love their husbands
- What Philippians 4:11 teaches us about learning contentment in marriage
- A surprising identity crisis at the heart of many “good” relationships
- Why expectations, not actions, may be feeding your frustration
- What to do before emotional disconnect becomes divorce talk
💡 “It’s like pouring clean water into a cracked cup—no matter how much he gives, it never fills you.”
📖 Bible Verses Mentioned:
- Philippians 4:11 — “I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”
- Psalm 127:1 — “Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”
💬 3 Big Takeaways:
- Unspoken expectations can create silent resentment, even when your husband is doing his best.
- Your identity must be found in Christ, not your marriage—or your emotions will always feel unstable.
- Contentment is learned, and without it, no relationship will ever feel like enough.

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.
