Description

Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!

Resentment doesn’t show up overnight—and it doesn’t mean your marriage is broken.

In this episode, I break down why resentment builds quietly in marriages, especially after kids.

I share:

• Why resentment builds gradually instead of in one big moment
• How unspoken expectations turn into emotional shutdown and loss of intimacy
• The connection between resentment, self-abandonment, and feeling like roommates
• Why saving your partner from conflict doesn’t protect your marriage
• How early, honest conversations soften resentment and rebuild partnership

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, less playful, less flirtatious, or emotionally closed off—this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface and how to start shifting it.
