Shame is often the shadow behind a hurting marriage.

It keeps you quiet when you should speak, passive when you should lead, and stuck when God is calling you to grow.

In this episode of Marriage Unmasked, we’re peeling back the layers of shame and how it secretly sabotages connection, leadership, and healing in marriage. You’ll learn why shame doesn’t just affect how you see yourself, it affects how you show up in your marriage.

In this powerful episode, we explore a topic that doesn’t get enough airtime: the importance of men supporting men, especially in the context of marriage.

Marriage thrives when a man is surrounded by other men who speak truth, offer encouragement, and hold him accountable to his highest self. These are the men who don’t just pat you on the back, they challenge you to grow, stand firm in your commitments, and lead with love and strength at home.

You're the One Holding the Marriage Together

If you’re the one initiating the conversations, doing the emotional work, and trying to keep the marriage from unraveling, this episode is for you.

In today’s honest and compassionate conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really means to be the one holding the marriage together and the silent toll it takes on your heart, your body, and your relationship.

We’re diving deep into:

- Why so many wives shift into masculine energy just to survive

- How resentment builds when you're in protector mode

- The real reason you feel numb, over-responsible, and alone

- How to begin releasing the weight without letting everything fall apart

If you’ve been strong for too long, this episode will remind you: You were never meant to carry it all.
