Top 10 Challenges Marriages Face Series
In today’s podcast we will discuss how emotional distance creeps into marriages, why it happens, and how to rebuild deep connection using both biblical wisdom and research-backed solutions.
Key Statistics:
A study from the Gottman Institute found that 86% of couples who eventually divorced said they had grown apart emotionally over time.
A 2020 Marriage Foundation study found that over 55% of divorces cite “growing apart” as a primary reason for separation.
Research in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships states that regular emotional check-ins significantly increase marital satisfaction.
Biblical Perspective:
Genesis 2:24 – “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” (God’s design is deep connection, not emotional drift.)
Song of Solomon 6:3 – “I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine.” (Emotional intimacy is a choice and a priority.)
