Feeling Angry, Anxious, or Discouraged in Your Marriage? Let’s Talk About It!

Have you ever found yourself feeling angry, anxious, or just plain discouraged in your marriage—and then wondered what it really means? In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at those tough emotions that show up in marriage and what they’re actually trying to tell you.

You’ll learn how:

• Anger often signals a blocked goal
• Anxiety often reflects an uncertain or insecure goal
• Depression may indicate you’re chasing an impossible goal

These emotions aren’t random or shameful—they’re invitations to examine your expectations, bring your desires before God, and lean into trust instead of control.

Through biblical truth and real-life examples, we’ll help you identify what’s really going on beneath the surface so you can respond productively, not just react in frustration.

📖 Scriptures Mentioned:

• James 4:1–2
• Ephesians 4:26–27
• Philippians 4:6–7
• Isaiah 26:3
• Proverbs 13:12
• Matthew 11:28
• Psalm 37:4–5
• 2 Corinthians 10:5

💬 Key Takeaways:

• Your emotions are signals, not enemies
• Unmet expectations often fuel conflict in marriage
• God wants to meet you in your emotional pain—not condemn you for it
• Surrendering unrealistic or uncontrollable goals leads to peace and connection
