BYHM159 | When Respect Makes Him Hustle—But At What Cost?

Send us a text

Is it possible for respect to overfuel a husband’s hustle? 

In today’s episode of Build Your Happier Marriage, we unpack the story of a man who works seven days a week—12-hour shifts, side hustles, no rest days—because he feels respected and supported at home.

On the surface, it looks admirable. But what happens when that drive becomes unsustainable? When marriage turns into a transaction—“I’ll pay you to stay home”—instead of a partnership?

In this episode, you’ll discover:

✅ Why respect fuels sacrifice—and why unchecked hustle can hurt your marriage.
 ✅ The dangers of turning marriage into a paycheck instead of shared life.
 ✅ God’s blueprint for balance, where love and respect flow both ways.

If you’ve ever felt caught between admiring your husband’s work ethic and worrying about the toll it takes on your relationship, this episode is for you.
