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.)

In the final episode of The Top 10 Challenges Families Face- we focus on addressing the challenges, effects, and solutions for families impacted by addiction, substance abuse and co-dependency, from a Biblical worldview.

Addiction and Substance Abuse: Addiction, whether related to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or even technology, can place tremendous strain on a marriage. Trust and responsibility can erode, making it essential for couples to seek professional help if addiction becomes an issue.

Psalm 34:18 says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."

There is hope for you and your family for healing and restoration of all that the enemy has stolen.

Today's podcast combines biblical truth, practical advice, and emotional encouragement to guide families in addressing unresolved conflict, resentment, and bitterness while reflecting God’s call to peace and reconciliation.

Unresolved Conflict: Over time, unaddressed conflicts can build up, leading to resentment. Many couples struggle to forgive or let go of past arguments, which can lead to a cycle of ongoing tension. Learning conflict resolution skills, like taking breaks during arguments or practicing forgiveness, is essential.

We are addressing the root causes of conflict, resentment, and bitterness in families and offering biblical guidance for reconciliation and healing.

“Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.” – Hebrews 12:14

“Bitterness increases stress levels and negatively impacts mental and physical health.”(Source: Mayo Clinic).

According to the research: Families who practice regular communication and forgiveness report higher levels of relational satisfaction (Source: Family Process Journal).

Unresolved conflict, resentment, and bitterness damage families, but God offers healing and restoration through His Word.

Hear practical solutions and tools to heal.
