When commitment starts to feel like misery, something deeper is usually going on.
In this episode, we talk about a kind of marriage commitment many Christians carry: staying faithful, showing up physically, doing the “right” things, while their heart slowly checks out.
You’re still married, still going through the motions, but the connection, joy, and emotional closeness feel distant or gone. We unpack the difference between simply staying committed and truly investing your heart and growth into the relationship, and why real covenant connection requires more than endurance, it requires intention, healing, and willingness to grow together.
