In this powerful continuation of last week’s conversation, we go deeper into the truth many couples avoid: unhealed childhood wounds don’t stay in childhood— they grow up with us, and they show up in our marriages as patterns, reactions, and emotional habits that quietly damage connection.

In Part II, we walk listeners through the real-life behaviors that come from unresolved pain: overreacting, shutting down, controlling tendencies, people-pleasing, hyper-independence, defensiveness, and emotional avoidance. These patterns aren’t random. They are learned survival responses from childhood that become destructive communication styles in adulthood.

Through vulnerable insight, biblical grounding, and practical tools, we explore how to recognize these patterns, interrupt them, and begin creating a safe emotional environment in your marriage. Healing doesn’t happen by accident— it happens by intentional reflection, accountability, and allowing God to deal with the roots, not just the symptoms.

If you’re ready to stop repeating cycles, stop reacting from old wounds, and build a marriage that reflects healing instead of survival mode, this episode is for you.
Your marriage can’t transform until you do.

Tune in, grow, and begin the work that leads to real restoration.
