LISTEN TO THE SHOW:

Resentment Was Killing My Marriage (Here’s What Saved It)

Do you ever wonder whether he truly chose you? 

Has there been a fight so ugly you didn’t know how to come back from it?

Have you been carrying so much resentment, you don’t know what to do with it anymore?

That was Kayla’s reality. She had a magical start—a hot Irish boyfriend, sizzling chemistry, flowers on the table, and a baby on the way. But slowly she started to feel like she wasn’t the priority in his life. She found herself alone at the hospital, alone at home, and alone with all the chores, until resentment became the air she breathed. It crept into the intimacy, extinguished the spark between them, and slowly ate into their relationship. Then, during one terrible fight, he crossed a line she never thought he would cross.

She was hanging on by a thread when a friend handed her a book and it made her question everything she thought she knew about her relationship. 

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • Why the resentment was building and what was really behind it
  • Why he couldn’t dress their son on his own, and what she had done to create that
  • Why she went straight for the most painful moment of their relationship and what happened when she did
  • What she discovered about her own happiness when she looked at her life without her family
  • The mantra she keeps repeating, and how it has created space for more than she ever thought possible in their marriage

Today her husband is a different man. He asks her over coffee what he can take off her plate, and even vacuumed the house while on crutches just because the floor was a mess. They have cute nicknames for each other, and he picks her up in the kitchen for koala cuddles while their kids watch. And when they got married, she walked down the aisle toward her sexy Irishman playing guitar, and knew she had her fairytale after all.

If you’ve ever felt the resentment quietly building until it swallowed everything you had, you are going to want to hear every word of this episode.

Perfect for: Women who feel invisible in their marriage, wives carrying everything alone, anyone whose resentment has slowly replaced the spark, women who have had a fight that crossed a line, wives who feel more like a manager than a partner, anyone who wonders if intimacy can ever come back.
