Episode 12: The Silent Killer in Your Marriage

Episode 12: The Silent Killer in Your Marriage

A man and a woman are standing next to each other with a lightning bolt in the background.
 
In this episode of the Conscious Christian Marriage Podcast, Rachel and Austin Holt dive into an important topic that impacts every marriage—withholding. While the title might sound dramatic, withholding feelings, thoughts, or even small pieces of information from your spouse can slowly erode connection and intimacy, leading to emotional withdrawal and projection.

Rachel and Austin break down what it means to withhold, why we do it, and how it affects your marriage on emotional, mental, and even physical levels. They share personal stories and biblical insights to help you shift from withholding to being forthcoming in your communication.

They also introduce a powerful framework to move from the destructive cycle of withholding, withdrawing, and projecting to the life-giving cycle of being forthcoming, leaning in, and owning your truth.

By the end of the episode, you’ll walk away with practical tools to recognize withholding in your marriage and how to foster deeper connection through honesty and vulnerability.

Action Step: Take a moment to reflect on something you may have been withholding from your spouse, and set aside time to share it with them. It could be a game-changer for your connection.
