149 ~ Are You the One Who Needs to Change? 5 Habits That Secretly Hurt Your Marriage

I thought it was his fault—until a quiet lunch revealed the truth. In this episode, I'll take you on a candid journey from pride and defensiveness to humility and healing, uncovering five common habits that will make or break your marriage along the way.

Be warned, as I will be inviting you to pause, reflect, and ask yourself a tough question: does the change in my marriage need to start with me? Each habit comes with clear signals to watch for, what to replace it with, and how the new, Christlike response will reshape your home.

Tender, challenging, and warmly practical, this episode equips women to choose humility over pride, appreciation over complaint, and transparency over secrecy—offering both hope and concrete next steps for a marriage that reflects God’s design.

Let's get started.
