Is your marriage stuck in survival mode as you crawl toward the end of the year? In this episode of the Weaponized Marriage Podcast, we walk through our own year-end marriage reset and the 3 questions that helped us rebuild emotional safety and intimacy. This is for married entrepreneurs and busy parents who feel like they’re always bracing for impact and want to feel connected again.

What You’ll Learn / Highlights

• The simple 3-question framework: what to let go of, what to rework, and what to invest in in your marriage for 2026.

• How Kendra went from walking on eggshells to feeling safer sharing how she really feels.

• Why Ryan’s instinct to “do more” was actually hurting intimacy—and what changed when he focused on equanimity and emotional safety instead.

• The real difference between coexisting and co-creating your marriage (and how to tell which one you’re in).

• A practical end-of-year exercise you can do with your spouse to talk about what’s working, what’s not, and course corrections—without it turning into a fight.

• How to redefine slowing down as “letting the miracles catch up to you,” especially for high-achieving, hustle-mode couples.

• Why counting your wins in marriage first changes the energy before you talk about problems or vision-casting for 2026.

Most couples are fighting about money, stress, and parenting—without ever naming the real problem: withholding. In this episode of Weaponized Marriage, we unpack what happens when one spouse hides business or financial stress “to protect the home,” and what honest, soul-feeding communication actually looks like.If you’ve ever felt the energy shift in your home but couldn’t put your finger on why, this one’s for you.

What You’ll Learn / Highlights

• How to know which stresses to share with your spouse and which details you can leave at the office.

• A simple phrase that tells your partner, “I just need you to listen, not fix,” and why it changes the whole conversation.

• The hidden cost of withholding financial reality and why secrecy around money quietly erodes trust and intimacy.

• How men and women experience money as energy differently (masculine “logistics” vs feminine “flow”).

• The difference between feeding shame vs feeding the soul in your marriage—and specific examples of each.

• Why your spouse will create worst-case stories in their mind when you withhold, and how to stop that spiral.

• A simple “talk to your spouse like the plant” analogy you can use with each other and your kids starting today.
