What do you do when you want to work on the marriage… but your spouse doesn’t? Maybe you’ve suggested marriage coaching or counseling. You’ve sent the podcast episode. You’ve bought the book. You’ve tried to start the conversations. You’ve prayed for change.And your spouse seems uninterested, unwilling, or just plain tired of talking about the marriage.
That can be an incredibly frustrating and lonely place to be.
But here’s the truth I want you to hear in this episode: Your spouse’s unwillingness to work on the marriage doesn’t mean there’s no work you can do.
And it doesn’t mean your only options are to nag them into participating or sit around waiting for them to change.
In this episode, we’re talking about what it looks like to take responsibility for your side of the relationship without trying to carry the entire marriage by yourself.
We’ll talk about the temptation to make your spouse the project, why pressure rarely produces genuine change, and how focusing on your own growth can begin to shift the dynamic in your relationship.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
- What to do when you’re the only one who seems interested in improving the marriage
- The difference between taking responsibility and taking all the responsibility
- What you can control when so much feels outside of your control
- How to develop stamina for the long game
