Is Your Emotional Bucket Overflowing? How to Recognize and Release Emotional Flooding in Marriage

✨ Episode Summary:

Have you ever found yourself snapping, shutting down, or numbing out—and not even sure why? You might be experiencing emotional flooding.

In this episode, Chris and Jamie unpack what emotional flooding is, how it silently impacts your marriage, and what you can do to find healthy release instead of letting it explode or bury you. Just like a 10-gallon bucket can only hold so much water, our hearts can only hold so many emotions before they spill over—and that overflow shows up in our marriages.

💥 In This Episode, We’ll Cover:

🔹 What emotional flooding is
🔹 Real-life signs your emotional bucket is full
🔹 Why some of us have “coffee cups” while others have “buckets”
🔹 Practical ways to poke holes in your bucket before it spills

📖 Biblical Encouragement:

“Trust in Him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to Him, for God is our refuge.”
—Psalm 62:8

✅ Helpful Takeaways:

• Learn how to identify when you or your spouse are emotionally flooded

• Explore practical tools like walking, journaling, or talking it out
• Create space in your marriage for healthy emotional release and empathy
• Reframe emotional overload not as weakness—but as an invitation to connect
