Feeling Stuck in Your Marriage? You’re Not Alone
If your marriage feels stuck right now—like no matter what you try, nothing is working—I want to remind you of something important:
You are not alone.
Maybe you’ve done the work.
You’ve had the conversations, read the books, scheduled the date nights, and prayed all the prayers.
But the disconnect is still there. The hurt still lingers. The changes you long for seem slow… or even non-existent.
And maybe, deep down, you’re beginning to wonder if anything you do even matters.
Here’s something to hold onto today:
“The opposite of stuck isn’t unstuck. It’s moving.”
Sometimes being stuck isn’t about doing something wrong. It’s about not knowing what else to do. And because of that, over time, we stop moving. We shut down. We settle into disappointment and stop believing anything will change.
But what if your stuckness is actually serving you in some way?
That’s a hard question—but an important one.
How might staying stuck actually be serving me?
- Is it protecting me from hoping again—because if I hope, I might be disappointed?
- Is it helping me stay small, where it feels safer and more familiar?
- Is there a lie I’m believing—like “This will never change” or “It’s all up to me”—that keeps me from healing?
- Have I developed a loyalty to my stuckness, because more of a victim mentality feels easier than risking vulnerability or trust?
Here’s what I know: God didn’t create you—or your marriage—for survival mode. He created you for abundance and growth.
Romans 12:2 says,
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”
So if your heart is weary today, start with a shift in mindset. Ask God to renew your hope. To highlight the lies that need replacing. To show you just one small step you can take toward connection, healing, and restoration.
Because you don’t have to fix it all. You just have to keep moving—with Jesus leading the way.
There is hope. Even here. Even now.
Don’t stop. Just take the next step.
