  • Silent Storm: When Your Spouse Won't Talk
    Jul 8 2025

    Welcome to The Thriving Family, a Focus on the Family Canada podcast.


    They say silence is golden, but in the context of marriage, silence can be devastatingly painful.


    There’s a lot you can say about saying nothing. Since silence can be used both constructively and destructively in a relationship, it's important we understand what is going on behind the silence.


    Today’s episode, “Silent Storm: When Your Spouse Won’t Talk,” can help guide us through this challenging path. We’ll look at the negative sides of silence, how silence can be used for good, and how to decipher between good and bad silence in a marriage.
