“Why does my wife still act like I’m failing—when I’m working so hard to get it right?”
“Why is he always so overwhelmed and scattered—can’t he see how that affects me too?”
In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, we kick off a new series exploring the unspoken emotional divide many couples face:
Husbands feel like they’re trying harder than ever—but it’s never enough.
Wives feel like they’re carrying emotional weight alone, and no one’s fixing the real problems.
And both wonder why so many good intentions still lead to conflict, shutdowns, or confusion.
We’ll explore:
Why planners, principles, and proven tools (like the DAR cycle) matter more than you think
How to build systems that restore spiritual confidence and emotional clarity
Why having your own “mission statement” and identity shields your self-worth from emotional sabotage
The power of consistent tracking—so you don’t have to guess if you’re progressing
Why the overwhelm you feel isn’t weakness—it’s often a sign of misaligned strategy
This episode is for husbands feeling buried by expectation and wives wondering why their husband still can’t “just get it.”
Let’s decode the emotional chaos—and build something better.
